Before Black Butler‘s April 14 release, the P4 cast will appear at AnimeJapan 2024, which recently published its full line-up. As reported, Black Butler‘s special stage takes place on March 24 from 12:45 to 13:20 (JST) on the Red Stage. The P4 will be joined by Daisuke Ono, who voices Sebastian Michaelis.

Black Butler: Public School Arc debuts nearly ten years after Book of Circus (Season 3), which represented a return to a proper adaptation of Yana Toboso’s manga series. Published in Square Enix’s Monthly GFantasy since 2006, Black Butler is one of the best-selling manga series of all time.

Crunchyroll streams the series and describes it:
Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Together, they’ll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil.
