The long-awaited latest anime work of the Black Butler series, "Black Butler: Boarding School Arc", will be broadcast this year in 2024, but I'm sure there are many male anime fans who have never heard of this work. This work is a series that is very popular with women, partly because it features various attractive male characters, and it is an overwhelmingly well-known work among women, but on the other hand, it is a work that is not well-known among men. However, even if it is a work that women can enjoy, men can also enjoy it, and I personally think that it is very unfortunate that this work is so little known among men. Although I am a man, I have thoroughly enjoyed this work, and I have felt many of the charms of this work that can only be experienced by men. I would also like other Japanese men to be aware of the charm of this work, so this time I would like to introduce the charms of this work to such male anime fans. I will introduce how this work can be enjoyed from a male perspective, so if you are a male anime fan who has not been interested in this work until now, please check it out.
Attractive male characters appeal to men too
The greatest attraction of this work is the many attractive male characters that appear in the story. Not only are they very good looking, but each character has their own beliefs, and the clash of their beliefs is what builds the story of this work.
Men's psychology as seen from a man's perspective
As you can see, this work features a large number of male characters, but since most viewers who enjoy this work are women, there are occasional opinions that the actions of the male characters are incomprehensible from a female perspective. Naturally, men and women think differently, and such differences in thinking are one of the joys of this work, but being able to enjoy this work from the perspective of a man is also one way to enjoy it.
Ciel with a boy-girl attribute
It is also true that there are many male characters in this work who are attractive to men. For example, Ciel, who will appear as a main character in this work, is a character with a prominent androgynous face, and is what male anime fans call a "boy-girl" character. Many male anime fans like boy-girl characters, and it can be said that this character is very appealing to such male fans.
The freshness of being all male
As you can see, most of the characters in this work are male characters who are attractive to women, but there are also many characters who are likely to be popular with men, making it a work that men can enjoy as well. Above all, there are few animations aimed at men that have only male characters, so in a sense it can be said that it can be enjoyed as a fresh work.
A must-see for world history fans
And above all, this work is one that even male fans who love world history can enjoy. This work features many settings and elements that world history buffs can enjoy, and it is a work that contains many interesting topics that only world history buffs can understand.
The fun of late 19th century England
The setting of this work is late 19th century England, and those who like world history will understand the fun of England at this time. It is a time when England began to emerge as a hegemonic nation after the Industrial Revolution, and the story is centered on England at a time when the world was changing dramatically, so it is a story that anyone who is familiar with world history can enjoy.
The stage is the world
Of course, this work is not only set in England, but the country often changes with each episode, allowing you to get a glimpse of the situation in various countries at the time. One of the features of this work is that it allows you to comprehensively grasp how the world is changing.
Settings that can be understood by those who know world history
As such, this work features many settings that can be understood by those who know world history. The story sometimes progresses based on unsolved cases that actually happened, so it's a work that tests your rather maniacal world history knowledge, so if you're a fan who is confident in your world history knowledge, be sure to check this work out.
Settings that tickle the chuuni heart
In addition, this work will also feature settings that tickle the chuuni heart. Works that use extremely difficult words, characters with unique changes in parts of their body, and repeated difficult conversations tend to be more common in content aimed at men, but this work seems to feature many of these settings that tickle the chuuni heart that men are likely to enjoy.
Demons, Grim Reapers, and more appear
The characters are not just human, but also include demons, grim reapers, and other characters with various attributes, and one of the features is that it offers a wider range of speculation than animation works set in normal human society. While based on actual history, there are many settings with strong fictional elements, so it is recommended for fans who want to experience the appeal of animation works as creative works.
The Darkness of the Underworld
In addition, this work itself depicts the darkness of the underworld, and deals with the absurd events that were occurring in society at that time. Of course, not everything is true, but it is a work created based on the actual world situation of governance and people's values, so you can enjoy it as a very realistic setting.
Not a story of rewarding good and punishing evil
The organizations and characters that appear in this work all have their own sense of justice and ideas, and they are the ones who take action. It is also worth noting that the main characters, Ciel and Sebastian, are not always right. This work is recommended for fans who like complex story progressions that are not a story of rewarding good and punishing evil, and chuunibyou-esque settings.
A hidden gem with few male fans
This work is popular not only because of the many attractive characters that appear, but also because of the various interesting settings, but as mentioned at the beginning, this work is not very popular among men. Therefore, for male anime fans who want to enjoy a work that is different from others, this work can be said to be a hidden gem, so it is worth watching.
Surprisingly not discovered by male anime fans
In this way, it can be said that one of the charms of this work is that it has not been discovered by male fans. Of course, there are many female fans, so it can be said that the fun of this work is guaranteed. It is one of the few works that is definitely interesting but has not been noticed, so if you are a male fan who is interested, please give it a watch.
A must-see for those who want to enjoy something a little different from others
As such, this work is recommended for those who want to enjoy something a little different from others. Although there are not many male fans, the work is full of elements that men will enjoy, so if you are an anime fan who has become interested in this work through this article, please introduce it to other male anime fans.
There are many female fans, so it may be a good topic of conversation
And above all, for female fans who love this work so much, it can be said that male anime fans who can easily bring up the topic of this work are very important. It is because there are more female fans that this work is a topic of conversation for female fans. If you are a male anime fan who knows a female fan who likes animation works, please check out this work and use it as a topic of conversation.
Heartwarming quotes
Furthermore, this work is known for the many famous quotes that the charming characters utter in various situations. Since this work deals with the darkness of the underworld, there are many quite aggressive quotes, and it is also characterized by many quotes that will resonate with adult fans who understand the absurdity of society to a certain extent.
Interesting Story
The appearance of these fascinating quotes also makes the story of this work even more interesting. Not only can you enjoy the story, but the words of the characters also make you think about the state of society at that time and the state of modern society, which is one of the charms of this work.
Famous quotes that you'll want to say out loud

As you can see, this is a very attractive work from the perspective of quotes. There are many quote rankings and collections that only deal with quotes from this series, so keep in mind that you can enjoy it just by looking at the genre of quotes.
A hit for male fans who like dark fantasy
As you can see, this work has many charms, but it is classified as a dark fantasy work. When you think of dark fantasy, you probably think of it as something that is aimed at men, but this work is rare among works that have a large female fan base, as it depicts dark fantasy head-on. Therefore, it can be said that this work is very suitable for fans who like the dark fantasy anime genre itself.
Highly polished dark fantasy
In particular, this work is a dark fantasy in which the principles of action of the Grim Reapers and demons, as well as the settings of the special abilities they use, are carefully crafted, making it a recommended work for male fans who want to enjoy the work while checking and thinking about the detailed anime depictions. The discussion community is quite active in this work, so it is perfect for those who want to deepen their thoughts and thoroughly dig deeper into a work that they have once liked.
A slightly different kind of fun from dark fantasy for men
While depicting the charm of a classic dark fantasy, the work also features plenty of developments and settings that female fans can enjoy, so while you can enjoy it as a dark fantasy, you can also find unique enjoyment that you can't find in the dark fantasy for men that you usually watch.
This is also a feature of this work.
Because you can enjoy it for a long time
And above all, this work has been supported by female fans for many years, and once you enjoy this work, you can follow it for a long time. Because it is already a popular title that has been going on for a long time, you can enjoy it to the fullest without feeling the fear of cancellation or anxiety that it will become uninteresting halfway through, so this is also a strength of this work that you should definitely keep in mind.
