i feel like, because of how long kuroshitsuji has been running, we forget about its pacing. not even a year has passed and ciel:
he won the curry contest, and along with it the royal warrant, expanding his company by adding a food branch.,
got into a circus troupe that was kidnapping children. children he ultimately ordered burned because they wouldn’t recover from the trauma that befell them,
was almost framed for the murder of a german banker,
was attacked by zombies on a luxury liner, and one of the few people who connected him to his father turned out to be his likely opponent,
attended a boarding school where he became a fag to a high-ranking student, learned to play cricket and led to the second victory in history of the house he belonged to,
almost died first from mustard gas poisoning, then from being shot at by a tank, having a ptsd attack along the way,
established a music hall competing with the performances of four former prefects, outsold them, his friend's butler was killed, his fiancée left him, his dead brother returned as a living doll taking away his title, estate, the servant who had been with him since childhood and (again) he was framed for murders.
and now there’s some crazy guy who keeps trying to out his butler. ciel deserves a vacation, more has happened in his life in one year than in the previous 12 combined.
bonus point: the events of the revenge arc have lasted ONLY 3 DAYS so far.
