After an excruciatingly long hiatus, Yana Toboso’s Black Butler is finally returning to Square Enix’s monthly G Fantasy magazine after going on an indefinite break in August 2024. The timing couldn’t be better, as the Spring 2025 anime season is right around the corner and the anime adaptation of the series will also be returning with the same production team as Public School Arc to adapt the much anticipated and fan-favorite story arc from the manga, officially titled by CloverWorks for the anime as the Emerald Witch Arc.

While the new season of the anime will be adapting the eighth arc from the manga, G Fantasy is currently serializing the Blue Revenge Arc – the eleventh story arc and one of the most twisted and high-stakes entries the series has seen in quite some time, as it not only perfectly captures how truly evil Undertaker can be, but in how well it taps into Ciel’s trauma. That said, despite how devastating the one-year wait was to once again see Ciel try to find a solution to losing everything, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for Black Butler fans.
