Yana Toboso’s Japanese-style parody of Kuroshitsuji

[in reference to the back cover of comic vol. 18 “black priest”, see below]

(Yana Toboso blog post 2014/01/30)

English translation:

“Ciel Fuwa (12) - the heir of a historic (Japanese) Shinto shrine.

However, his grandmother is British and his unusually European-looking father married a woman who is half Japanese and half European as well. That’s why he [Ciel] looks like a European, too, even though he can’t speak English at all, which in turn troubles him. Another cause of annoyance is that for some reason, he is followed around by Undertaker, who sometimes comes to the shrine to hold a Shinto-style funeral.

Recently, he made a contract with a crow-tengu with a smug face [a mythical creature in Japanese folkore] and since then he always has to wear an eyepatch. To his annoyance, people around him smile at him warmly and say, “Our Ciel has finally reached puberty…” He wishes he could deny that and tell them that he does not suffer from Chuunibyou [*middle school syndrome], but if he did, it would probably have the opposite effect - and that’s why he can’t deny it.

He would like to found a company specializing in social games rather than become a Shinto priest.

He’s a troubled first year student at middle school and doesn’t participate in any club activities.”

I can imagine that there is already a manga like this… (lol) […]
