Volume 35Previously:>>290555901
>>290587648Well only one of them is trying to kill children at this very moment.
>>290587690But surrendering means certain death. There is no incentive for them not to try their luck fighting back.
>>290587800>>290587814Goddamnit
>>290587814That looks fatal. RIP Snake. You were the most competent as an actual servant.
>>290587639poor snake, ciel assigned the wrong task for him...
>>290587814Well done, dollFUCK YOU
>>290587868I thought Ciel was taking a big risk sending Baldo to a PTSD den. But it turned out this one was worse for both of the servants he sent. And largely for reasons unrelated to the facility's stated purpose. Unlucky.
>>290587800FuckSo says anonymous
>>290587983Yana really enjoys drawing deranged shotas
>>290587983That's pretty fuck up for a child to say this
>>290588026The snakes should be attacking doll here what the fuck
>>290587450For this arc Yana really had the urge to draw shotas again.
>>290588026No, Finny! UT will turn Snake into a zombie too!
>>290588026I feel bad for both finny and snake now, like, really bad
>>290588131That boy ain't right
>>290587867Snake?!SNAAAAAAAAAKKKEEE!What are the chance he "resurrects" as a doll?>>290587983>>290588012I kinda like these kids honestly, pretty competent and dangerous without making the adults useless.
>>290588131>Another scummy fat characters
>>290588181>>290588193>>290588208>>290588221Jumbo best boy, he and Snake are the only circus crew members who I feel sorry for
>>290588452>>290588476:(
>>290588476:(
Tears.
>>290588476>>290588493>>290588514>He's donezo for goodFUCK
>>290588549Oh yeah, he got shot.
>>290588514>>290588493>Only 17 years oldnot like this...
>>290588493>Sarah KembleA real person apparently, though obviously no way that she's his motherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Siddons
>>290588514Damn
Surely they won't do a death fakeout two arcs in a row, right?
>>290588695Reaper got him. The only way he's coming back is as a zombie.
>>290588712Poor Finny.
>>290588847Based kids. Honorary Phantomhives, the lot of them.
>>290588896>Mey-Rin & Ran-Mao: No star present. Person running facility defected.>Baldo & Lau: Star present. Person running facility defected.>Finny & Snake: Star present. No staff defected.This trend does not look good for Ciel and Sebastian.
>>290588896Feels bad man
>>290588721And since his body is now with Doll, he's certainly coming back as a zombie. In fact, I can see the rest of the servants having to put him down for good just like they did with Pluto in the first anime season.
>>290588896Ugh ;_;
>>290588514Fuck, even to the very end I didn't think he'd die. I really liked him too.
No way Snake's story ends like this.>>290588689And who the fuck are those 4? They seem to be way more than some gifted children.
>>290589151>No way Snake's story ends like this.idk, to me it's only fitting that the most pure-hearted and innocent servant would be the first pawn to fall in Ciel's game of self-centered revenge.
>>290589151Would his snakes continue to help him if he was a zombie? Zombie snakes? And the whole point of these missions is to destroy the blood supply. So it would be hard to support yet another high functioning zombie. I think he he really is gone.
>>290589151That's what I've been thinking. The set-up doesn't really make sense for it to be a blood supply operation.They get the blood tests, sure and then they spend time growing them up to be "as close to their Stars as possible" but that does nothing for the blood type, and I don't think UT and co. would do anything with that.Then, they're stashing up the kids in jars instead of actually getting blood off of them. Or rather, they do, but you don't need their bodies anymore.So I think what the bodies are for, they have to be about creating zombies with the correct memories to feed to the Stars.Probably why they raised the Sirius kid to be like Ciel, with disastrous consequences.This is also why out of the three plotlines this one was left open, because it's more than just a blood supply.
>>290589249Kek so he noticed after all.
>>290589213At least I could see Doll asking for it.Maybe it won't be a high-functioning zombie though, just a hollow husk to keep Doll happy, whose mind is surely deteriorating anyways.
I guess Finny wasnt very useful
>>290589388He was as useful as he could've been in that situation.
>>290588831Honestly I thought those children are going to abandon him, since one of them is like, you know
ew midget
>>290589308I could see Doll going either way. Wanting to revive him out of guilt over killing him and wanting a member of her family back. And not wanting to make him a monster like her, especially since he was even innocent of the kidnapping.
>>290588896Snake...Finny...No...I wonder if Yana planned for his death since the beginning
>>290589388They had far and away the hardest assignment. That place was locked down so tight they only made it in at all through the coincidence of Doll being there.
>>290589388He got Ciel four new servants.
>>290589585Finally a new bishounen
>>290589520A hiatus was here I presume?
>>290589272>Snake>Dead panel>The line on his panelYana, damn
>>290589486I expected them to get find out. An eyepatched nobleboy is sure to stick out. But it's funny that it happened before they even reached their destination.
>>290589598Kek I can just imagine Ciel trying to command those brats
>>290589626Yep, Yana took a 10 months hiatus before this chapter in order to rest and to prepare for the series' climax while travelling in the UK.
>>290589398Alright I'm expecting a fast and furious fire here unlike your servants, Ciel
>>290589727No need for demonic contracts anymore when you have indoor plumbing.
>>290589694...Which series are we talking
>>290589711This is very advance isn't it
>>290589827>only objects to immediate arson because it won't workThat's my boy.
>>290589575well i guess but the only noteworthy thing he did was opening an iron lead while letting Snake die, most of the work was done by the other kids
>>290589813This series lol
That's it for today. Tomorrow, we may be (possibly) be catching up with the latest chapter. We have 14 left to go, but iirc they're all relatively short.
>>290589976I'm not supposed to know who this is, right?So this is a good joke to end on.
>>290589976Thanks OPI think this is the chapter which I found out BB is still ongoing since the last time I read it
>>290589976who?
>>290589976nvm that, I skimmed through what's left and they're all consistently around 20 pages each. Might be better to do 10 chapters tomorrow, then the remaining 4 + the leftover chapters that weren't published in volumes the day after.>>290590006Not yet
>>290590100I'm fine with that, thanks OP
>>290589892Finny is the one that got the kids on their side. And he saved Theo from getting shot. Who they needed both to get out of there and keep the other kids together and functional.>while letting Snake dieSnake got his throat slashed while jumping in to save a kid. There was nothing Finny could have done to save him.
>>290589976This is Polaris, right?
>>290589976Did UT make a zombie out of one of Sebastian's former contractors?
>>290588057>The snakes now aren't humanized, because their voice is dead;_;
>>290588514Btw if you reread the past volumes, you'll notice that when Snake was introduced in the Phantomhive mansion during the Murders Arc, Ciel told him that entering into Phantomhive service "was the fastest route to get back with his circus troupe."Ciel wasn't lying: first, thanks to the Phantomhive he got to meet Doll once again, and second if he hadn't entered Ciel's service right now he'd still be alive.
>>290590176Maybe not a previous contractor, but someone who served one of his previous contractors alongside him? Polaris did say that he lost his master.
>>290590246Anon, not funnystop making laugh while cry
>>290589976Personal theory he's indeed recognizing a demon... just not Sebastian. My bet is he made a deal with another demon, aka John Brown
>>290590298That's on Yana, not me. Check chapter 50, it's exactly the reason why Snake joins the team. It even concludes with Ciel saying Sebastian "if you stick to a lie, it'll eventually become the truth". Which is a double entendre over his identity, but it applies to Snake and his family as well :(
>>290588229>>290588721While I'm thinking about the chances of him becoming a zombie, I'm also wondering if he could become a Grim Reaper? Does throwing yourself in front of a knife attack count as suicide in a way? I admit I hope Snake comes back, not only because he's one of my favorite characters, but now that he's discovered the truth about what Ciel did at the circus, it seems like a waste to kill him without him interacting with and confronting Ciel! It doesn't seem like good writing to not have the consequences of Snake knowing the truth and not talking to Ciel; it feels like a plot without an ending, you understand? And now I'm thinking about two Snakes at the same time.
>>290589598>>290589676>Ciel's twin now has 4 younger siblings to worry about in addition to his older brother>2 of which are probably almost as smart as he is>Sebastian has 4 more brats to worry about>All of them were assigned to "dog" housesAssuming any of them make it to the end of the series, and assuming Sebastian makes off with Ciel's twin. I think there's a good chance either one or all of them inherit the "Queen's Watchdog" role.
>>290590006He is Sebastian's ex :^)
>>290590100>>290589976Well, there are also the extra chapters that haven't been posted.
>>290590190Oh I hadn't noticed this during my first read, what an awful detail
>>290590447It makes sense. In that case everything points out to Theo, he's basically nuCiel 2.0
>>290590306I thought John Brown is a demon too but one of the latest chapters made me change my mind and now I'm 80% sure that he's an angel
>>290590481Yana's attention to little details is severely underrated
>>290590415>you understand?I get it, its almost inevitable he will return in some form since the setup for zombification or Reaperification is complete. But I'm actually thinking about the poor snakes he left behind. I wonder what Wordsworth, Emily, Goethe, Oscar, Dan, Keats (did I miss anyone?) are going to do now and if they would continue to follow zombie snake around.
>>290590246>if he hadn't entered Ciel's service right now he'd still be aliveI'm not so sure. One more attempt on Ciel's life (which would be likely) and Sebastian would have killed him.
>>290589585Welcome to the Baroness....
>>290590557She's in general underrated as a writer. People are aware and constantly praise her skills as an artist but you don't see her being acknowledged as a good author often (probably it has something to do with her being a shotacon and the series and its fandom's reputation).
>>290590415>Does throwing yourself in front of a knife attack count as suicide in a way?I wouldn't think so, but we've never actually seen the process. If it's mostly about state of mind, then maybe. But I'm not as convinced that he's coming back. I think his death might have consequence mostly through Finny's increasing humanization.>>290590447>>290590490I had the same thought. An imitation Ciel with compatriots who are already trained as both servants and assassins is too convenient for them not replace him once his revenge quest is complete.
>>290589976Thanks again for your effort and contribution OP
>>290590253Good point. I doubt most people would sell their soul to a demon just to remain a butler. And imagine if Wolfram lost Sullivan to a demon. He'd go insane even before becoming a zombie. So Polaris was probably like that.
>>290589976Thank you for your service.
>>290588131>could swallow a mouse wholeWow.
>>290589162Lau really wom the most, not only did he get the tech he got a bunch of cute nurses too.
>>290587800>>290587814>>290588493>>290588514Dammit. First Agni and now Snake (with the future of his snakes being uncertain too). Why does Yana love to kill the most competent characters?
>>290589568>>290589727Lmao picking a fight with Sebastian>>290589797>Burn it downFirst option kek
>>290590595Maybe the addition of snakes will make something different about the zombification, just throwing it out there.
So if you had to place the servants for the job, who would you stick with what?
>>290587450And the black butler?
>>290587800its ok anons he'll be fine *sobs*
>>290587800SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
>>290588947>add something extra to your paymentNina is going to make Ciel wear dresses as a payment, if not worse. Even being indebted to Lau is less dangerous.>>290589486They got caught even eatlier than Baldo and Finny.
>>290589568>Eh, these puny humans think they can tend to my McCielburg- ehm, my Master as well as a True Demon Butler>Muh aesthetic>>290589711Yeah yeah, cool rooms and all, but SURELY, you'll need a Hell of a Butler™ for his Master chores>...what do you mean I'm not needed? M-masaka! That's not possible, I'm in charge here!>(Internal sweating)>>290589740>W-what do you mean I'm going to a semisuite instead of a mere waiting room?! Y-y-you are going to serve ME? >What? You are also giving free tickets?!>>290589797>Immediate demonic eyes>Gotta destroy everything my masterI think we have found Sebastian's weak point hahaha
>>290588361You cannot trust those figgers....actually, "piggers" probably works better.
>>290589398Was this chapter originally after a hiatus? It feels like it's mostly just been a recap.
>>290587639This is exactly what I've feared ever since I saw Doll's return.
>>290587800No.... Not him. Fuck, fuck, fuck!
>>290587856This is one the few occasions where a shota is not enough to cheer me up.
>>290587968Way to go. Show no mercy.
>>290588493>>290588514Noooooooo ;_;F
>>290588026Why must the best boys suffer the most? The world is so cruel.
>>290588514At least this means he surely can't come back as a zombie.
>>290588094Ah, let me guess, reading books was how he gradually learned about the outside world?
>>290592422Lau and Snake to the resort. Finny faking his age to join Baldo at the hospital. Ciel to the orphanage with Sebastian hiding in the woods until needed. Baldo going to the hospital was a double edged sword. He had both relevent, helpful experience but also internal conflict and trauma. Finny and Snake to the orphanage was pretty much just the latter. And fugitive from the law, face in the papers Ciel Phantomhive should not have been walking around in public in fancy noble clothes.
>>290593796Maybe "the outside world" is too general here (since he likely never interacted much with anyone not related to the circus or the manor, it's reasonable to assume he never got to truly know it), but, you know, basic knowledge and such?
>commentaries from the hotel's staff about relieving the butler of his duties>the sudden appearance of Sebastian's exI hope they exorcise/trap Sebastian, mainly because it would be nice to see how Ciel survives by himself.
>>290587598Burning them is okay though.
>>290588493So, what was the deal with his father?
>>290588120>>290588131Did we see him having a forked tongue before?
>>290594430Wordsworth.
Here's an interesting read on how R!Ciel might have actually been involved in the attackhttps://www.under-taker.com/entry/2019/08/15/184440
>>290592422There was no other choice.The two girls are a given since the manor was searching maids.Finny is the only one who can pass for a kid, and Baldroy is the only one who can pass for a war veteran. Lau wouldn't care about a orphanage, and you can't exactly tell him where to go since he's helping but it's not at your service. Snake, by exclusion, has only the orphanage to go.
>>290592467;-;
>>290587894Accidents can happen
>>290592467This is so cute...
>>290589797>come on, he did say to savour true freedom to our hearts' content>he's practically asking us to burn the hotel down
>>290592297Because they're also the most soft-hearted ones.
>>290587979i mean sending an orphan and traumatized child to an evil orphanage isnt exactly good for their mental well being either.
>>290587800NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NONONONONONONONONONO I DONT WANT THIS I DONT WANT THIS I DONT WANT THIS
>>290587992oh no will he get a flashback too
>>290588452>he died realizing his life was a liei dont like this...
>>290588493now that i think about it ciel's birthday is coming up
>>290596353I was expecting that to go badly too. I just figured taking a veteran whose distinguishing feature is outliving his comrades and sending him to an evil (more than normal) VA hospital would be at least as bad.And the trauma at the orphanage was extremely specific and impossible to predict. All of Snake's problems were from Doll being there. And this just happened to be the one facility not content to harvest blood and treating their victims similar to Finny and his fellow test subjects. Snake and Finny really got screwed.>>290596622Finny at least spared him seeing Doll's head burst like a melon in his final moments. I'm sure that will come back to bite him. But it did make Snake's death slightly less torturous.And he did seem to realize that both parties were genuinely trying to help him in their own way. He just didn't have a chance to reconcile that with their lies.
>>290589337fixed
>>290596848Obviously the best choice was to swap the maids and orphans. Have Mey Rin apply as tutor and Finny and Snake crossdress.
>>290597089Trufax.
snake... had a hard life... he needs some time to rest...
>>290596658Oh, that can NOT be a good thing.
>>290597276>Finny consents to the nobleman's advances>he ends up in worse shape than with Ran-Mao
>>290597089Where are all the seagulls
>>290588493>>290588514In hindsightIt was a good idea to stop the storytime early
>>290596658Getting dangerously close to Nina's limit.
>>290597592>She spots Ciel's first chest hair when measuring him for a suit>Screams in the torment of the damned>Storms out of the room weeping and calling for her assistants to "finish off the pig">It was just a loose eyelash
>>290589727>censoring the nipplesYana hates me with this volume
>>290588208so jumbo was actually quite well read considering his situation
so the orphans and their zombie counterparts are:smart (ciel)acrobatics (doll)caretaking and martial arts (layla and al)butler (butler)
>>290598418And he didn't have any (visible) physical disability like the rest so I wonder how he ended up homeless with a bunch of disabled kids (and adults).
>>290598702>butlerand murder
>>290587800NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290589976thanks op
>>290598803It was mentioned that Jumbo was unusually tall. He had a very heavy brow ridge so it's possible he was meant to have acromegaly. He was bald all his life too.
Does Doll and Layla still have working ovaries?
>>290598803I thought he had gigantism
>>290599507>>290599524Ah yeah, him having some sort of disorder too makes sense given his unusual appearance.
>>290599518cold pussy...
whats going to happen to snake's sneks now...
It really shows the depths of UT's Phantomhive obsession that he didn't just resurrect Doll but went as far to make her one of the Stars, by all appearances just because she had a strong connection with Ciel's twin. Her combat abilities are not exceptional and unless UT learned otherwise from her record, she's a nobody. It's hard not to come to the conclusion that she earned her special treatment because UT ships her with his grandson.
>>290599963They might not be cold. They seem to be able to circulate blood, just not produce it. At least until UT figures out bone marrow transplants.>>290600720Best case, they die in the English winter without a human friend to keep them warm. Worst case, zombies.
what are the chances doll goes rogue?
>>290592297>agni dies satisfied smiling and protecting his master>snake dies confused as he realizes everything was a lie
>>290600855I think the four stars are simply the Undertaker's experiments that have yielded the best results, which is why he's so focused on keeping them alive.>>290600932100% but she will die shortly after going against the UT.
>>290589079>four o'clock on the pocketwatch is iiiiit's the little things
>>290600855>It's hard not to come to the conclusion that she earned her special treatment because UT ships her with his grandson.Aww, that's an oddly cute perspective.
>>290589386>>290589499thread themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciS5krYL80
>>290600855>Her combat abilities are not exceptional and unless UT learned otherwise from her recordI mean she was a skilled acrobat and we've seen how her friends were good enough to hold it for a short time when fighting the servants (on their own turf) so Doll probably had above average combat abilities even when she was alive.
>>290600932Decently likely, assuming she has enough free will for that to be possible. What does she even gain from any of this. Continued life, obviously. But does she even want that? She probably does still want revenge on Ciel. But is it worth continuing with what she's doing?
>>290588493>>290588514Farewell Snake, you had such a hard life. Hope you will find peace at last. I was devastated upon the first time reading and it hurts just as much now. I pray your body won't be desecrated into a bizarre zombie but this is Yana.Also big Fuck You to Doll, child kidnapper in life and child murderer in death with no remorse, evil bitch no matter what.
>>290588493there's something powerful about how every (human) death, whether they are a hero, villain or just some bystander, always ends this way.
>>290602634Who is going to earn additional remarks? You'd think that would have happened by now. Although it would be pretty cool if it never happens. Ciel dies at the end and even he gets "no additional remarks".
>>290603153undertaker maybe? he's redefining the concept of life itself
>>290601258I guess Yana really did study her stuff, even westerners would fail at this.
If Snake is zombified, fuck this shit, really.
>>290601178>100% but she will die shortly after going against the UT.that would prove that his undead can develop free will
>>290587800I know he’s probably gonna become a bizarre doll for some fucked up reason but I never cared for Snake. He never really integrated with the Phantomhive servants, like I don’t feel he was as close with the others. He was always just tacked on.
>>290603911i found his quirk of speaking through his snakes kind of annoying in the anime
>>290588514There's no way the reaper will ignore doll the zombie, unless he doesn't even know the news about zombie
>>290603997its definitely something that doesnt translate well from text to speech
>>290603911>He never really integrated with the Phantomhive servantsI agree with this, but I still liked him. He felt like something sort of in between Soma and the servants.
>>290589310This chapter felt a bit like a recap episode.
OP here, currently scrapping the last remaining chapters. I just wanted to note that I can't seem to find 101.5 and 131.5 anywhere (both bonus chapters from Book of Murder / Book of the Atlantic DVD sets Well tbf I did find a fan translation of 131.5 panels chopped up on a tumblr post, but stitching them together would be a pain in the ass). I'll most likely skip those twos. I know the anon who really wanted to see the bonus chapters specifically wanted 99.5 featuring Vincent and Diedrich so I hope that'll be okay.
>>290603911>He never really integrated with the Phantomhive servantsits sad because you could say the same for him and the circus. he never truly belonged anywhere.
>>290588476>flashback suddenly has film reelsD:
>>290603446if the undertaker is a rogue grim reaper, doesn't that mean he's already dead?have grim reapers demonstrated the ability to double-die?
>>290603911>He never really integrated with the Phantomhive servants, like I don’t feel he was as close with the others.You're right about but I still think he was the most likeable of the 4.
>>290605991*about this
>>290605348thanks op have a sad ciel
>>290606261wtf Sebastian that's child abuse
>>290605761they can get injured, and when othello confronted ut he said he wasn't ready to be dissected by him yet. for me, personally, i think it would be kind of a bummer if the big bad tragic mastermind just got arrested by the shinigami police or whatever instead of dying
>>290589271the logical extreme is the creation of a frankenstein's monster using artifical memories and gathered parts.
>>290601178She'll fall apart without fresh blood.
>>290590447we can have a sequel to the idol arc, idol arc 2: shota edition
>>2906063994 MORE HARCOURTS
>>290606399>>290606604YEAAAAAAAAHH
Its surprising Viscount Druitt hasn't shown up anywhere, I figure he'd be at the hotel.
Hey wait a minute. Layla is a boy. Every Pomeranian is a boy like Ciel. Every Mastiff is a boy like Polaris. Every Corgi is a girl like Doll. And every Collie is a boy.
>>290607205oh no what did i uoh at?
Things must've been weird at Weston after Ciel left. They basically lost their entire governing body overnight, right after the nerd house won an unprecedented victory. The student that is central to that win, along with his teacher, also disappeared at the same time.
>>290597089Brightbros, our response?
>>290607205The split personality did seem more like a guy, could be that that happened due to gender difference, but Layla might be a boy.
>>290607762Ciel and the nerd house fell into the Thames, it's easy to just say Lawrence and Ciel caught some mega giga cholera and passed it to the other three prefects during the midnight tea party.I don't recall if it was made known among the regular student body that the old prefects got expelled for killing students and a teacher.
>>290607762I think they knew that the P4 expulsions were related to the students' deaths. As in they were being expelled for trying to cover up the "boating accident". It also helps that it was towards the end of the year, so they were about to graduate and be replaced anyway. Ciel and Sebastian leaving would leave the most questions. But they could halfway tell the truth with Ciel. He was famous for exposing Cole. So they could say he had a part in exposing the P4 as well and that the experience left a bad taste in his mouth that made him want to leave Weston.Since we know nothing about how "Mister Michaelis" got there, it's hard to say how his departure would be perceived. If he was only ever supposed to be temporarily standing in for the previous teacher then his leaving would be easy to accept, if a bit suspicious due to coinciding with Ciel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Romance_of_Lust>The Romance of Lust, or Early Experiences is a Victorian erotic novel written anonymously in four volumes during the years 1873–1876 and published by William Lazenby. >The novel is told in first person, and the protagonist of the novel is Charlie Roberts. Charlie possesses a large penis, much virility, and a seemingly insatiable sexual appetite. The novel begins with "There were three of us—Mary, Eliza, and myself." Charlie describes his sexual initiation as an adolescent—as he is "approaching fifteen". He catalogs his sexual experiences including incest with his sisters Eliza and Mary, sex with his governesses, and his later sexual exploits with various male and female friends, and acquaintances. Besides incest, the book deals with a variety of sexual activities, including orgies, masturbation, lesbianism, flagellation, fellatio, cunnilingus, gay sex, anal sex, and double penetration. Taboo subjects such as homosexuality, incest, and pedophilia are common themes in the novel.I imagine this is the type of book Sullivan reads in her spare time.
