“Mey-Rin and Ran-Mao’s victory is secured as they thoroughly dismantle the operation in North Yorkshire. Meanwhile, Baldo and Lau are headed to Wiltshire to investigate a sanatorium for war veterans that is rumored to be headed by a “miracle healer.” The skeptical cook is disinclined to believe in the existence of angels—but the incredulous sight that unfolds before his eyes might change his mind…”

Series Info/Source: This is the 31st volume in the Black Butler series. I bought a copy of this book.

Thoughts: I really loved this volume in the series. It was great to have the recap at the front of the book explaining why our characters split into groups again. This volume ties up Mey-Ren and Ran-Mao’s story in an explosive way. It was awesome to see Ran-Mao in action. Then we move on to Baldo and Lau’s group and watch as they infiltrate a sanatorium for war veterans.

I love all of these characters and am really enjoying the storyline as well. The illustration remains absolutely stunning too! It looks like the next volume will delve into Baldo’s past. I have been greatly enjoying getting a glimpse into the past of the Phantomhive crew!

My Summary (5/5): Overall this was an awesome read and I am so happy with the way the storyline is going with this series. Toboso’s illustration remains amazing and I love how she is moving this series along. I love this whole series and would highly recommend it!
