Synopsis:
Grell Sutcliff, a high-ranking reaper, finds her routine disrupted as Valentine's Day approaches. Instead of quiet contemplation, she's unexpectedly besieged by a diverse group of men who materialize within her space. The arrival of William T. Spears sets a tone of formal disapproval, quickly followed by the presence of Sebastian Michaelis, the object of Grell’s affections.
This unusual gathering expands to include figures from various spheres: servants of the esteemed Phantomhive family, a prominent merchant, a nobleman with a penchant for indulgence, and even members of the royal court. The unexpected appearance of a mysterious figure known as "The Valentine's Fairy" further complicates the situation, transforming what began as a personal endeavor into a surprisingly charged and unpredictable encounter. The narrative explores themes of desire, social dynamics, and the blurring lines between duty and personal longing within a darkly whimsical atmosphere.

First off, this is pretty difficult to find, not only on the internet, but even on MAL itself. If you find yourself here, congratulations! You're a pretty big fan of Kuroshitsuji to make it this far. For those of you that want to watch it, it's just one crack episode that's shorter than a regular anime episode, so if you're a fan, I reccomend giving it a try. That being said, this short is not animated. It's a 'live voice acting'. The voice actors of the sub got up on stage and did a live voice acting session for a short crack episode, featuring illustrationsby Yana Toboso. It may not sound very appealing, but it's really very fun and interesting to watch. nnTo begin with, the story is funny. To be honest, it's just plain crack, but if you've ever read any fanfiction, you have probably come across worse. It maintains its crack aspect without having to sacrifice the plot. It has a 'Valentine's Day' theme and it followers through with it til the end; it's never boring' it's always fun and engaging. nnThe art is very pretty, and while it's not animated, the stills are drawn really well and are captivating. You can easily follow the story with her picture; it's like a live manga reading. nnThe sound is amazing. The VAs really put in their effort and all the characters sound amazing. The minimal background music was also great. nnThe characters, of course, were supposed to be crack, but they somehow retained some part of their identities, making Yana shine even more with her amazing writing skills. nnLastly, I enjoyed this a lot. nnI would recommend this if you: are a kuroshitsuji fan, you like voice actors, you like crack animennI Would NOT recommend this if you: don't like kuroshitsuji, you don't like crack humornnHave a great day everyone! -

It's essentially a 17-minute comedy with Black Butler characters. It's definitely full-on, so if you prefer more subtle humour, you'll probably leave with a concussion. Personally I found it all right. Some of the jokes translate...weirdly, to say the least, but if you're a Black Butler fan, it's probably worth watching. And you obviously are a Black Butler fan because this picture drama is extremely difficult to come across, even if you're a diehard fan of the series. As for everything else: the animation is non-existent since it's a picture drama, the art is fine, and there really isn't much sound apart from the voice actingwhich is decent.
