Synopsis

Kuroshitsuji II centers on Alois Trancy, the temperamental heir to the Trancy earldom whose present comforts hide a troubled history. As a child he endured abduction and servitude before being returned to his family, only to suffer the loss of his cherished father shortly thereafter. Skepticism surrounds Alois’s account of events and his right to the title, and the Trancy residence conceals unsettling realities. At the heart of the household is Claude Faustus, a mysterious, darkly attired butler who possesses otherworldly capabilities. Questions about Claude’s true nature and the ties that bind him to Alois deepen amid a climate of deception and manipulation within the mansion. Their relationship faces severe trials as mounting threats and revelations bring ruin to their doorstep, forcing both to confront the precariousness of power, trust, and identity.
