"BLACK BUTLER EXHIBITION -Rich Black-" will be held from December 7th (Tuesday) to December 19th (Sunday) at Hakata Hankyu Department Store in Fukuoka City to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the popular manga "Kuroshitsuji" (BLACK BUTLER), which has sold over 30 million copies worldwide.

"BLACK BUTLER" by manga artist Toboso Yana is a story about a "devil" butler who contracted with a solitary aristocratic boy in 19th century England. With beautiful illustrations created from outstanding drawing skills, unique main characters with odd personality and deep story development studded with mysteries, this manga has successfully captivated the heart of anime fans not only in Japan but all over the world!

The exhibition, which has been touring Japan since this summer, exhibits many beautiful illustrations drawn by Toboso sensei under the concept of "Rich Black" (a type of black that is made by superimposing various colors on black)! From popular episodes such as "Red Butler Arc" and "Circus Arc" to the latest "Blue Memory Arc", the original drawings of serialized manuscripts of the famous scenes and more will be exhibited. Moreover, the audio guide (requires additional charge) for the exhibition is narrated by voice actor Ono Daisuke who played the role of the butler Sebastian Michaelis and Sakamoto Maaya who played the role of the aristocratic boy Ciel Phantomhive in the TV anime version of Black Butler! We're looking forward to seeing what kind of interaction there will be! So come and immerse yourself in the world of "Kuroshitsuji" in December! (Editorial Dept.: Nika)
