The original Black Butler manga by Yana Toboso began in 2006 in Square Enix’s G Monthly GFantasy manga magazine, with 34 volumes released in Japan to date. An English language version is also available from Yen Press. Crunchyroll streams the full series to date and describes the story:
Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. 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. Together, they’ll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil.
