When the Young Master's fiancee drops by for an unannounced visit, the Phantomhive Estate experiences a sickening outbreak of "cuteness." Meanwhile, the Butler has his hands full with a suicidal apprentice.

At the request of Madam Red, Ciel takes in a useless butler, Grell, in an attempt to train him properly.

A string of bizarre murders of prostitutes is occurring in Whitechapel. Taking a cue from the brutal killing methods, Scotland Yard has taken to calling the culprit “Jack the Ripper.”

At the behest of the Queen, the Young Master and his underlings travel to a dreary land supposedly haunted by a demon dog. This new mission makes the Butler uneasy, but he's always been more of a cat person.

Ciel and Sebastian visit the Frozen Fair, which is held on the frozen-over River Thames in the winter. The two run into Abberline, who tells them that he is on the trail of an extremely valuable blue diamond.

Already a man of many talents, the Butler adds ice sculpting to his repertoire in an attempt to acquire a priceless-but-cursed gem for his Young Master.

When his betrothed is abducted by a deranged doll maker, the Young Master travels to London to investigate. Little does he know, the search will be complicated by a lovesick reaper who's lost his scythe.

It’s the day before Ciel’s birthday. As a present, Elizabeth plans to give him a ring made from the shard of Hope that she finds, as a replacement for the Phantomhive family ring that she broke.

The Master's birthday approaches, but rescuing Elizabeth is of far greater importance than celebrating. A vile puppeteer is terrorizing London, and only the Butler can cut down his army of marionettes.

When the Young Master is defeated in a supernatural chess match, he must surrender his most prized possession to a ghostly prince. Locating a very old and very specific skull is the key to bringing Sebastian back.

The Phantomhive-owned Ludlow Castle is being renovated into a hotel, but when Ciel gets word that the contractors want to quit because the place is haunted, he and Sebastian head over to the castle to get to the bottom of it.

The Queen’s butler, Ash, tells Sebastian and Ciel about an abandoned abbey in the outskirts of Preston, that has now become the lair of a religious cult that advances strange doctrine and is plotting a revolt against the government.

The Queen orders young Master Phantomhive to investigate reports of a cult that promises to "purify" its unclean members. The mission is complicated by the appearance of a familiar reaper.

Ciel and Sebastian infiltrate the cult’s abbey hideout but are soon discovered by the followers. For some reason, only Ciel is taken to the founder of the sect.

There's a potent new drug plaguing the backstreets of London, and it's being sold in stolen Phantomhive candy wrappers. The Young Master is being set up, but what manner of man wants him to take the fall?

A corpse has been found in the Thames River. The body is identified as John Stanley, a man who operated in the underworld on behalf of the Queen, and he seems to have been murdered.

While the Young Master continues his investigation into the opium-filled, counterfeit candy wrappers, the Butler is chained and tortured in the Tower of London.

While on the trail of Stanley’s missing item, Ciel falls into someone’s trap. The police accuse him and Sebastian of trafficking a popular drug called “Lady Blanc” throughout London.

Ciel’s servants, Mey-Rin, Finny, and Baldo are worried about their master because he seems depressed. The three decide to cheer him up and start by consulting Elizabeth, who happens to be visiting the manor that day.

A series of flashback reveals the secret pasts - and hidden talents - of the Phantomhive staff. While the servants go about their daily duties, the Young Master gives a chess lesson to pretty lady.

Ciel and Sebastian visit Paris to have an audience with the Queen, who is visiting Paris for the Exposition Universelle.

Phantomhive Manor has burned to the ground. Amid the charred ruins, Tanaka writes in his journal. Meanwhile, Ciel is hiding in the cargo hold of a steamboat.
