The charm of this work
The charm of this work lies in the delicacy of its art style. Although it is a dark fantasy, it is drawn with a gentle touch. Even the hair fluttering in the wind is depicted with meticulous detail.
Another charm is the subtle incorporation of foreshadowing that one might not notice. The fact that one can enjoy the work even without noticing these foreshadows is one of the reasons why this work is loved. Many people may not notice the foreshadowing in the slightest details. However, these foreshadows often enrich the reader’s or viewer’s excitement and imagination, and not all of them are resolved. Fans enjoy “Black Butler” while exploring such minute details.
