Even though my favorite Kuroshitsuji arc is Book of the Atlantic for reasons of favoritism towards Undertaker's character, if I have to be objective, the best arc for me was Book of Circus and here in this post I wanted to tell you why I consider it the best, even with the current arc of the manga.

Before I start, I leave you a Spoiler warning!

The arc starts with a quite powerful mystery, the disappearance of children that is strongly linked to a circus, because where this circus is positioned, these children begin to disappear, then it is impossible that suspicions do not fall on this and that is why Queen Victoria sends Ciel and Sebastian to investigate if it is really involved with these disappearances and for that they will try to infiltrate the circus as the new members.

We can see that the members of the circus are very nice young people and not suspicious at all, with whom you could easily get attached, but as the story progresses we can clearly notice that something sinister is hidden behind the appearance of circus performers who only seek to entertain an audience and I love how Ciel and Sebastian are looking for clues to get to the cruel truth.

I want to say that this season was developed in a splendid and ingenious way by Yana Toboso, it manages to capture the attention of the viewers by keeping you intrigued with such a mystery, but at the same time it shows us for the first time a part of Ciel's painful past and starts to give us signs of what would happen later until the present time of the manga.

It encompasses in a fictional way something that unfortunately is happening worldwide, the disappearance of children and the purposes for which they kidnap the purest and most innocent beings in the world. Not only that, but behind all this there is a totally sinister and disturbed mind that uses others to achieve its goals, a character that was very unpleasant to listen to giving his excuses as to why he did what he did.

The final scenes where everything is discovered are grotesque and repulsive, I felt very sorry for the missing children, they fell into the hands of a mentally ill person that thinking that these things really happen, I felt pretty bad.

Another point to highlight is the desperation, how a weak and vulnerable mind can be easily manipulated by a mask of someone who shows to be kind and charitable, but in reality has macabre intentions taking advantage of the desperation of totally helpless beings, this is more than an anime, it is reality itself.

Book of Circus is a dark, sinister, macabre story that attempts in every way against the beings that should never be touched: Children, to achieve the objectives of a sinister and manipulative being and also makes it clear that although Sebastian is a real demon, the human being can be more of a monster than he is.

Message that this arc leaves: Never leave children alone or neglect them even for a second, there are evil demons lurking and we never know when they might attack.

I appreciate your visit and I recommend 100% Book of Circus!
