Black Butler Dates His Comeback With A New Trailer

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Yana Toboso, "Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji)," a new promotional video for the fourth season of the project was revealed. This new season, titled "Black Butler: Public School Edition (Kuroshitsuji: Kishuku Gakkou-hen)," is now scheduled to premiere on April 13 in Japan.

It should be noted that the original arc covers a total of four volumes of the manga, so a new season of at least more than twelve episodes is expected. On the other hand, the story of this new season begins then when Queen Victoria asks Ciel Phantomhive to investigate the whereabouts of Derrick Arden and other students who refuse to return home from Weston College.

On the other hand, Toboso began publishing the manga in Square Enix's Monthly G Fantasy magazine in September 2006. The play inspired a twenty-five-episode anime adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures, under the direction of Toshiya Shinohara and scripts written by Mari Okada, released in October 2008. Subsequently, more seasons, OVAs, and animated feature films were produced.

Synopsis of Kuroshitsuji

Young Ciel Phantomhive is known as the "Queen's watchdog" as he takes care of the many disturbing events that occur during Victorian England for Her Majesty. With the help of Sebastian Michaelis, his loyal butler with seemingly inhuman abilities, Ciel uses any means necessary to get the job done. But is there more to this black-robed butler than meets the eye?

In Ciel's past lies a tragedy that shrouded him in perennial darkness: during one of his darkest moments, he formed a contract with Sebastian, a demon, trading his soul in exchange for revenge on those who threatened him. Now, Sebastian is not only a great butler, but he is also the perfect servant to carry out his master's orders, while patiently waiting for the delicious food he will eventually prepare with Ciel's soul.
