Black Butler: Volume 5

by Yana Toboso, 176 pages

Let the curry battle begin! Sebastian uses Ciel, Soma, and the house staff as guinea pigs as he employs trial and error to make a curry that can beat Agni's. But who will have the final say at the competition?

I know Ciel is sick of curry long before the competition's conclusion, but it still makes me hungry. :) And watching an increasingly surprised and irate Sebastian counter too-honest-for-his-own-good Agni's repeated attempts to turn himself in makes me giggle. The silly clearly outweighs the dark in this volume, although there are definitely hints that the next one may swing some distance in the other direction. I mean, there's a circus in town. With clowns. Gothic, Victorian clowns. How is that not scary?!
