>>289971486How old are those two?
>>289971512Lizzie, he was like 8. Don't put that much thought into it. He didn't.
>>289971613>>289971627All that work to appeal to her husbands fragile ego
>>289971471>Embroidery over cooking.That one stands out compared to the other two examples, doesn't it? Or is it because noblewomen could leave that to their cooks?
>>289971648tbf she's like 11 and got it into her head that being stronger than him would make him hate herit's dumb kid logic filtered through victorian noblewoman bullshit, not exactly a master plan
>>289971774Wasn't it like really the case that 90% of women and children regardless of class survived, while the men stayed on the ship?
Slight anachronism, The RMS Campania did not strike an iceberg nor was it overrun by the living dead
>>289971805>nor was it overrun by the living deadI don't believe you.
>>289971759Heh.
>>289972132How does he manage not to break those nails of his?
Grell not being the most annoying in the room must be an accomplishment.
>>289972316Not sure why this had to turn into a joke arc.Quite a lot of innocent people died in a gruesome way
>>289972316Grell has such a pained expression here.
>>289972392>zombies on the TitanicThe whole arc is batshit, it's fine
>>289972543What material is that thing made of?
>>289972577>>289972622He's so kewl...
>>289972577Nice legs.
I completely forgot about this whole part
>>289972868You expect something serious?You were wrong. It is just Undertaker
>>289972970A luxury vessel seems like the worst place for testing.
>>289972950>Mouths that no longer clamour loudly or spit out lies. Are they not more beautiful than when they drew breath?UT straight up calling Ciel ugly
>>289971731Yes. Cooking is grunt work for servants. And many of the servants doing the cooking were men. So not only was it low class, it wouldn't even be seen as especially feminine.
>>289973090They talked so much, they all should already be zombie food
>>289973115do you think he has scars in it too?
>>289973404>>289973449>the plot twist is that the shinigami is actually wielding a shinigami scytheKinda a non twist.It would been more interesting when he is actually fighting with something different.
>>289973449The coolest one so far.
>>289973517Yeah, I was expecting that, but at least the scythe's design is neat.
>>289972186>upper rightIs this where the one gif comes from?
>>289972201>>289972241lmao. Druitt is the funniest character.
>>289974046The second-last panel... I'm honestly not much a fan of the silhouettes women's clothing had back then. Nina is 100% right about this matter.
>>289972811>>289972828>sequels are soulless abominations
>>289974252Athousand fujoshi just shot through their chairs like a powerwasher
>>289974176>>289974299If he did that in current day, no one would give a shit
>>289974405cute!
Will post the extras later
>>289972970They don't seem all that effective. A family of four armed with swords was able to hold them off.
>>289971514Grey is 24 and Phipps is a couple of years younger
>>289973978I like to think he did this not of evil but cause he coudnt think of a name and he is still a child>>289974405He still needs a good dicking>he alreThen another one
>>289971731One dirties your hands, the other doesn't. One has to be done in the kitchen, the other can be done under a tree, at your table, on your balcony while you check your servants, etc.One produces something that is consumed immediately, the other produces something that can be gifted.Embrodiery rules. Nowadays it's a lost art for obvious reasons, but back then it had some unexpected usefulness.
>>289974252He can just bring antibiotics from the future like he did with the sticky toffee pudding, what's the big deal
>>289974567Oh, and almost forgot: you can also turn embrodiery into a competition with the other enemy bitche-cough cough, your lady friends I mean.
>>289971512I wonder: was it just a childish comment, or can we consider it a form of manipulation?>>289971566"They must have raised someone's ire"
>>289974524>>289974477Forget he is a brat
>>289974007>>289974029You think Tanaka's the only one who noticed that he is not Ciel?
>>289972577One cameo for each generation or one cameo for each dead Phantomhive? Assuming all of them are Phantomhive, that is.
>>289974252Wow.
>>289974756France is a sharp lady so she might have suspected something too
>>289974405Ahhhh, too adorable.
>>289974318The awareness of the existence of magic is incredibly vague in this stoey.Would people really care? How much magic does exist beyond the scope of our pov? Sebastian seemed to take the existence of Indian gods seriously, and the broad mass now knows about zombies
>>289975004>>289975004>>289975021I get Bakuman flashbacks
And this is it for the day, until tomorow bros
>>289974495Not the mother anymore?
>>289972970The fuck does he care for money?He is working for Umbrella?
>>289973919>The GameFuuuuuuuuuccckk
>>289975181Thanks, OP!
>>289975181Good job
>>289974275Sebastian is so lucky.
>>289973953>>289973978>>289974232>>289974252Good reminder that Ciel really is just a kid
>>289974252giwtwm
>>289972737This means he turned half a century ago. I think it's safe to assume it's about Ciel's grandma then.
Why no one told me that this series is so cool?
>>289975890No one believed me when I said that I read this for the story.
>>289972970>>289975252That's the million dollar question: who those "eccentric folks" are?>>289972984Who would scold UT?Theory we'll see it's an arms race with Germany in the GW arc, I suspect some correlation. Again, I can't keep Vincent contact's with Germany out of my mind
>>289973549>>289973570>>289973592Smart as fuck.
>>289973978>Sebastian loves cats to death>Named after a dog
>>289973115Fuck, i love three way fights in manga where each side has such distinct motivations. So few do it well.
>>289975890Kuro sits in a weird blind spot for a lot of potential readers.The character designs are too fujo-ey and gives the ick to the average person. I think a lot of people just look at the cover and immediately dismiss it as bean schlicking material. They may also be aware of the series' reputation as being pedobait can't deny the allegations on that one so even more normies are deterred That being said, the manga has reached such popularity within its intended audience it kind of became the poster child for "baby fujoshi's first manga", so a lot of people within the sphere turn up their nose at it, from elitism or contrarianism.
The ellipsis before CIel answers to Sebastian in the flashbackThe gravesThe fact Ciel MADE a sacrifice - and btw I think this is something he's still lying to himself about. I believe the future flashback will hide a littel detail.I noticed Ciel has two rings, but I thought only the heir ring was important. I didn't remember there was a little backstory for the second one. THere's no way Tanaka isn't suspecting about Sebastian, but I'm starting to believe his loyalty is absolute. I wonder, what did VIncent do for Tanaka to be like this? Sebastian's first good "meal" for Ciel, funnily enough, is one of Ciel's favorites.
>>289972984Makes you wonder again why did Undertaker saved Druitt
>>289977019He was funny
>>289975935He's so smol and round.
>>289972622>>289972577>>289972589>>289972605Very strong Urahara vibes
>>289977034He was gonna die regardless
Madam red was naughty. Undertaker is naughty. Don't tell me they're gonna make lau naughty too? Surely Elizabeth is untouchable, at least.
>>289977611Lau is a drug dealing human trafficker. He is already naughty.
>>289972654>>289972668I had the impression that his hair was blonde, not silver.
>>289971960Okay, there was that one little breakout of zombies in '95, but it was hardly "overrun", it was all contained to 3rd class
manga-only newcuties should go watch this arc's movie NOW
>>289976432I avoided the manga and the anime for years because its premise sounded like misery porn (which I hate, specially when it happens to shotas) and every comment online about it reinforced this belief, but the story so far has been more lighthearted than I thought. I still feel bad for Ciel and all the dead kids, tho, but the amount of happy moments balance the sad and evil moments really well.One thing I don't understand is why the anime is so radically different from the manga, to the point of having an original story for its second season. Did the studio find the original story too boring, or was it one of these cases where the anime matched the manga and there was nothing left to adapt at that moment?
>>289979047>was it one of these cases where the anime matched the manga and there was nothing left to adapt at that moment?It was that. The show got ahead of the manga within the first season so they had to make shit up.Everything that came after season 2 is pretty fateful to the manga though.
>>289977611>Don't tell me they're gonna make the guy who runs East End opium dens naughty too
>>289978682I'll watch the entire anime in release order once we're past volume 22 (according to MangaUpdates, that's how far the manga has been adapted).
>>289979516>lolno
>>289979516Awesome.
>>289978682Surely it would be better for them to wait until the actual end of the arc.
>>289974200>>289974217>>289974369>>289973978>>289974477You take Sebastian's place as the demon who made a contract with Ciel. You have the same strength, intelligence, reflexes and magic powers as Sebastian, but your patience and self-restraint are the same you have now. Would you be capable of enduring Ciel's brattiness and malice and help him achieve his goals, or would you surrender to your rage (and other emotions) and breach your contract with him to give him a well-deserved punishment?
>>289980656Ciel would be the one getting tired of me doting on him.
>>289980656He'd find it off-putting just how well I could take his brattiness and such (beauty like his would make me much more lenient toward slights). I'd most definitely fantasise about dicking him down (not exactly out of vengeance, though), but I'd be able to control myself.... I think. Seeing him in a state of undress on a regular basis would be quite tempting.
/ss/era's favorite manga
>>289979131Did Yana comment on the second season and its characters beyond the usual "pls watch the animu" thing all authors do?
>>289981711I'm unaware of anything Yana has ever said about anything, but she included some Alois extras in some of the volumes, which I assume she drew herself? Like picrel, can't remember which volume it comes from though.She probably doesn't disown it even though it's not and never will be canon.
>>289981711You can access most of her deleted blog on the Wayback Machine. Here's one around the time of S2 Ep7: https://web.archive.org/web/20160409101845/http://d-6th.com/blog/2010/08/index_3.php>But in another sense, Alois and Ciel are the same as well. Both have obtained extraordinary power, and both are hopelessly self-centered people who wield that great power for their own sake. Neither of them is simply "pitiful," nor are they "good children.">Even so, I think this episode most vividly contrasts Alois's and Ciel's actions toward demons, and the feelings they hold toward them. Indulgence... and rejection.
>>289982207He kind of looks like Kagamine Rin in that picture.
>>289982852Nice, looks like a reference to the Book of Circus ED
>>289982852Every time I try to reverse search a pic of Ciel posted here jewgle suggest me the same mpreg art of him and I don't know why. I don't even like mpreg dammit.
>>289983873If you're still lookinghttps://x.com/96bitter_rabbit/status/2085768799438172190
>>289974200
>>289983927I managed to find it on my own (thanks anyway), but it's weird that this specific pic keeps appearing. I wish it wasn't mpreg, the art is really cute.
>>289983996oh wait, it's the same artist of this pic lols/he also drew babyplay art of Ciel, but that's more bearable and cute imo
I'm disappointed the anime never continued the whole 'Book of "x"' each arc was titled.Like the school arc could've been called Book of Scholars and the witch arc could be Book of Emeralds. And then we get Book of Stars or Blood or maybe Esau
>>289984069>>289984193Agreed. I really don't see the appeal in ruining a perfectly flat stomach.
>>289984069WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT!?
>>289984777I was torn about whether or not to save the image because Ciel looks really cute in it but I don't like mpreg, so I solved the problem by "saving" the pic on the Desuarchive servers in case I change my mind in the future.
>>289984342I thought the arc titles came from the manga, didn't realize that. I'm more disappointed they stopped using visual kei for the openings.
>>289984069And this is how we got Alois.
>>289975059I don't think the average person knows about any magic. Even the servants, who know Sebastian fairly well, are very familiar with his inhuman feats, and know of the existence of other borderline supernatural things like whatever Finny was injected with to make him crazy strong still don't make the connection that he isn't human. This zombie outbreak is probably one of the bigger exposures of the supernatural and the one who set it in motion didn't expect anyone to survive it.
>>289971669I appreciate how Grell is framed with thus dialog sequence.
>>289976374One my faves is 3 way dad fight in angel densetsu
>>289973449Wait, this implies that Grim Reapers can retire normally, and he might've even done so, just having sneaker the scythe with him?
>>289984193I cant say I find art that emasculates Ciel to my tasteI guess my limit is crossdressing for purely comedic reasons
>>289980656Assuming that what I get out of it is worth it, I'll tolerate just about anything.
>>289981591I did not know Sonoko is into that
>>289990857>and he might've even done soThey mention deserters here >>289973013 and he doesn't even acknowledge it. And between him specifically talking about having to sneak out his scythe and how long he's not been a reaper (you'd think they'd go after deserters right away), I'm inclined to think he did retire.
Ciel has inspired me to pick up the pencil again. If I quit being so lazy, I might be able to improve somewhat before the end of the storytime.
>>289993318nice work anon!
>>289993318based
Live
bump for my late reading
>>289971597I wonder if she realized something wrong here and just cope
Next>>289995858
>>289995858Migrate
>>289981924Alois will always be Ciel's canon husband.
>>289993318Good luck anon.
>>289971759kek
>>289993422>>289993598>>289995956Thank you!
>>289973053>>289973073Sebastian should have let them take him now to save all the shit happens later
