24 episodes · Oct 2, 2008

On the tragic night of his tenth birthday, young Ciel Phantomhive lost everything when a devastating fire claimed his family estate and both his beloved parents. Facing unimaginable loss, Ciel made a desperate pact with a supernatural force – trading his soul for vengeance. This entity manifested as Sebastian Michaelis, a strikingly elegant demon bound to serve as Ciel’s loyal butler, tasked with enacting retribution until the terms of their agreement are fulfilled.
