黒執事 [Kuroshitsuji] [Black Butler] #2

A pale, sharp-featured butler in immaculate black attire stands beside an elegant three-tiered afternoon tea stand laden with delicate pastries, macarons, and petit fours — an image that perfectly captures the series' signature blend of refined Victorian atmosphere and understated menace. Yana Toboso's stylish manga continues here, balancing dark gothic sensibility with impeccable, almost theatrical composure. If the cover is any indication, propriety and danger make for delicious company in this second volume from Square Enix.
