"I'll definitely become Clayton's fag!"
Bwa ha ha!
It's like that one Batman comic where they use they keep using the word "boner" because it meant "a slip-up" back in the day.
After that zombie boat arc I suddenly want to see more of Elizabeth now their relationship is so cute.
"fag [Br.] [public school sl.] Diener {m} [junger Internatsschüler, der einem Präfekten bestimmte Dienste zu leisten hat]"
So translated it would be "Servant [young pupil at a boarding school who has to do certain chores for a prefect"
I think, that clears things up? XD
BTW is it just me or does anyone else feel that Ciel lost some of his grace/elegance from the earlier chapters?
As a side note, that's IMO an error in translation, not from lack of Japanese but from lack of Britishese--for a British school, especially a Victorian posh one, there is no such thing as a principal. He would be the headmaster.
Yes, I did put an interrogation mark in the middle of a sentence. What are you going to do about it?
After continuing reading to page three and further I could even predict the whole chapter!
But nevertheless, because it's Kuroshitsuji, it was a great first chapter to a probably, like always, great arc with a super duper mega eye-candy page as the last! Can't wait for the next one!
I always liked British boarding schools and I'm glad I'm actually reading a manga that features it for once.
Meanwhile Sebasu is sexy awesome again!
We want him as our butler.
(Okay, yes, it looks like there's a bit of Potter echo, but don't forget that Harry Potter was built on a long tradition of British boarding school stories, with a bit of added Gandalf; lots of manga set in exclusive schools are also basically ripping off the British school tradition as much as they're doing anything Japanese, although it does seem as if there's some kind of Japanese swank Catholic school tradition as well)
