There is no emotional vulnerability and very little dwelling on his actual parents. I know his parents are dead, so it's understandable that he's not the most loving of people, but literally all he does is lash out. Secondly, I tired very quickly of the characters. The clothing is detailed and consistent, but anachronisms are rife and at times even the setting is forgotten as aspects of Japanese culture, unheard of in Victorian England, make their way in. And as if to overcompensate, Sebastian is the perfect Mary Sue: attractive, unflappable, invincible and deadly, single-handedly resolving all conflict.

Together, they'll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. If you want to know more about Black Butler, no sweat!
