After two teasers and several BTS cut-clips were released online, a new full trailer is now available for the upcoming feature-length live action manga re-imagining of Black Buter. Spun off from Yana Toboso’s original 2006 manga, the latest vision from directors Kentaro Otani and Keiichi Sato stars Hiro Mizushima and Ayame Gôriki in a story of the youngest daughter of a wealthy family in a futuristic Victorian-era London, who, prior to changing her identity as the son in order to inherit control of her family’s wealth, summons a killer demon in the form of Sebastian Michaelis, to help her avenge the death of her parents in exchange for her soul.
SYNOPSIS:
In the year 2020, Shiori Genpo runs the large corporation Funtom. Shiori is also a descendant of prestigious noble family Phantomhive of England, with her inheritance merited only by her appearance as a boy.
Orphaned at the age of ten upon the murder of her parents, her work is assisted by her loyal bodyguard, a supernatural demon in the form of Sebastian Michaelis, an exceptionally skilled butler whose etiquette and intelligence are as equally deadly as his craft in killing, both of which prove useful for Shiori in exacting her revenge. But for dealing with the devil, it may cost her more than any fortune she’s willing to pay.
