In honor of storytime.
The jokes about Ciel being a pyromaniac were my favorite part of the storytime threads.
>>4062607>>4062608>>4062609>>4062610I love that opening so much
>>4062611>jokes>implying
drawanon here, sorry about the delayhere's the first request from the storytime threadi'm already working on the next ones, and i'm still taking more requests, so if anyone wants some fanart, let me knowhope you have a lovely week <3
>>4062803Based. Thank you so much.
Is it ok to talk about the manga and its spoilers? /cm/ doesn't have spoiler tags.
>>4062803Based drawanon. He's so flustered, and his legs so delicious. >>4062899You can always start your post with "Spoiler ahead", but I personally wouldn't worry too much about it.I feel like Kuro in 2026 is one of those series where every new reader is already somewhat aware of the big twist.
>>4062899My personal policy is to not post spoilers in more general threads, like if I were posting SebaCiel in the man and boy thread. But in a thread dedicated to a series I assume everyone is either up to date or doesn't mind spoilers.Although, like >>4062902 said, most everyone is at least aware of the two Ciels. The storytime was my first time reading and I already had pics saved with the two of them.
>>4062990>The storytime was my first time reading and I already had pics saved with the two of them.Same. Before reading the manga in the storytime, I thought the twin Ciels represented Ciel's past and present, him having split personalities, or him being a two-faced guy (this one is true to some extent).
I think Modri hearing voices and Layla's split personality are the same thing. The orphanage was harvesting organs more than blood. And they were making the students larp as their respective star. I can only see two reasons for that; trying to recreate a star from scratch Frankenstein's monster style or farming replacement parts for the existing ones. In either case, the training would seemingly be due to parts from different people entangling their cinematic records with one another, so making them similar would help smooth that over.My theory is this entire operation was developed after UT had difficulties reviving Modri and Layla. If Modri really had rotted to the point that maggots weren't even eating him anymore, then he would have needed substantial donor tissue. That could be why he hears voices and has the strangeness with his memories. And Layla could be made of two people, probably fraternal twins, hence the two personalities. So in an effort to avoid this problem in the future (and keep Ciel more pure), UT created the orphanage.
>>4063198I agree with the theory that UT is harvesting organs from orphans (and possibly from hotel guests) to speed up the production and repair of the zombie dolls, and that Modri's memories are a mixture of multiple people's memories and probably Undertaker's fake memories. However>Layla could be made of two people, probably fraternal twins, hence the two personalitiesI find it more plausible that Layla's second personality was something she already had (as a result of some trauma) before she died and that it was exacerbated when she was turned into a zombie, or that the personality emerged from Undertaker's false memories because Layla's original personality wasn't "useful enough".
>>4063201I kind of ignore the thread and whatever the manga is about and just looked for the cute boy pics, but now I'm intrigued by the story, I'll have to look it up
>>4063204I used to avoid this manga because of its reputation for focusing on the constant suffering and torture of shotas, but I decided to give it a try recently when there was a storytime on /a/, and now I consider it one of my favorite manga.>now I'm intrigued by the story, I'll have to look it upEach arc blends different genres (mystery, horror, comedy, SoL, drama, etc.), and their tone ranges from comedic and lighthearted to tragic and soul-crushing, but almost all of them build on the central premise of Ciel's quest for revenge with the help of his demon butler Sebastian against those who plotted to destroy his family.Plus, there are lots of cute boys and men wearing all kinds of pretty outfits.
>>4063210>its reputation for focusing on the constant suffering and torture of shotasWhich I must say is overblown. It is there, to be sure. But I went in expecting a lot worse.
Why does he look like a Phantomhive...
>>4063283I think it's just a coincidence that he has blue hair. Introducing at this point another relative of Ciel's that no one has ever met before would be lazy writing, unless UT somehow managed to preserve for decades the body of one of Claudia’s brothers who died before Vincent was born, but that would also be a poor plot device.
>>4063283Cedric...
I'll be honest: i expect ut has something else along with just falling in love with claudia. Having in mind he started his experiments long before knowing her, it seems to be the case. I don't know, I just think I'd be kind of a bummer if he did all this shit just because he fell in love with a woman fifty years ago.
>>4063369I don't see any way for it to be all about Claudia with the other lockets. I think she may have just been his last straw before going full necromancer.
>>4062803this one was kind of tricky, so i decided to make it into two panelsthanks for the request, i'll move on to the next one nowi miss the storytime threads so much, can't wait until the new volume gets released
I have a request, but I haven't read the manga. I just want to see more of your art. Could you draw your favorite black butler boy in a playboy bunny suit? Thanks!
>>4063477I'm the guy that made this request. I originally imagined that Harcourt would be smiling too because his idol Michaelis asked him for a favor, but seeing him look scared by the surreal situation is much funnier. Thanks a lot for the delivery.
>>4064123This artist is a guilty pleasure of mine. Everyone acts out of character in her art, and sometimes there are weird fetishes like mpreg, but Ciel is portrayed in such an adorable and vulnerable way that melts my heart like a marshmallow.
>>4064446>guilty pleasureExactly how I feel lol. Her (I assume) pics are so cute, but then I can't help but remember the mpreg.
>>4064446>>4064466Oh, absolutely.
>>4064523>Wolfram getting a chibi sticker instead of UTI know the theme is butlers but really, who gives a shit about Wolfram??
>>4064523>Sebastian force-feeding Ciel wine to "celebrate the 20th anniversary">Ciel panicking not knowing what the fuck he's talking about
>>4064542I like Wolfram.
drawanon here, sorry for the absence. been working a lot lately and my wrists are killing me but i intend to keep on drawing your requeststhis is for the anon that requested ciel, sebastian and the rest of the servants (snake included) having fun in an amusement parksince i couldn't decide on how to make a full scene i made some vignettes manga-ish stylei was going to put more text but it was too cringe lmao>>4063509will do
>>4064775
>>4064775>>4064776Great work. Finny and Tanaka are specially adorable. Also kek at Sebastian in the bottom panel.
>>4064775>>4064776Equal parts adorable and hilarious.
>>4064776>>4064775Finny cute...Snake cute...
>>4064775>>4064776I'm that anon and my god, this is so adorable! Thank you for making my day better drawanon <3
Drawanon's posts motivated me to finally finish this page, after weeks of idleness. I once drew three pages' worth of Len faces, so I aim to do at least as much for Ciel. Can't make any promises regarding the speed at which I'll fill them, though.
New chappy >>>/a/291017117
>>4064988Extremely necessary page.
>>4064978Ciel nipples...
i'm beyond thankful, anons. i've been having a pretty shitty week so far and you guys cheered me up. i'll keep on doing my best to fulfill your requests.>>4064978it's enough to make a drawanon cry... have a ciel
>>4065192I hope your week gets better.Also happy 20th anniversary.
>>4065192Aw, thank you!I have about two or three dozen more faces I'd like to draw. After that, I'll try my hand at full-body drawings of Ciel and the others.And, like the other anon, I, too, hope that what remains of this week, and the ones after, will be more pleasant for you.
lol
>>4063509there you go anoni do have some instagram/tumblr/twitter accounts to post art but i barely use them, maybe i'll start posting some of these after tweaking them a little bit
I've never missed a storytime this long after it has ended.
>>4065819Very nice, thank you drawfriend, you're the best.
>>4066135strap-in, anon, one year from now we'll probably still be at this fucking hotel.One chapter / month is such a glacial pace holy shit
>>4066174I started reading World Trigger at the start of the away mission arc and Made in Abyss at the start of the village. This hotel is nothing. It's the threads I miss. They were very cozy. Not too fast. Not too slow. Good anons.
drawanon here, sorry about the delay. been dealing with some legal shit and i'm so tiredi miss the storytime threads so much, hope we get the new chapter sooni'll keep on with your requests, had lots of fun doing this onewhat would be your dream rotation? mine would be ut, wolfram and agni <3
>>4068008Legal shit? Are you finally answering for your many crimes?
>>4068010now now, how was i supposed to know that 'inflammable' means 'flammable'?
>>4068059Lol, seriously though, good to have you back
>>4068008It's admirable how you're able to pick three characters and be done with it, but I'm very greedy, so...: O!Ciel, Charles Grey, Snake, Undertaker, Harcourt, Violet, and Viscount Aleister Chamber.
>>4068008O!Ciel, R!Ciel, Finny, and Harcourt.
>>4068159Touch the cow
We need more lederhosen red riding hood Ciel
>>4068008Excellent work as always anon. Small correction though; those are men, not boys.>>4068081Same answer as this. But Theodore instead of Finny.
>>4068218my bad, anon. when people use the word 'boys' i tend to assume they're talking about male characters in general. i'll do the correct version soon...
New chappy.>>>/a/291656598
>>4070980amazing work anon <3>>4068774here's the proper version. i'm thinking of doing a grown up version, artie is too cute
