The story begins over a year after the events of the first season. While it initially centers on Alois’s tragic past and his quest for revenge, the plot quickly shifts into a complex "butler vs. butler" conflict over Ciel Phantomhive's soul. Because the manga was still in early production when the series aired, the second half of Season 1 and all of Season 2 are independent spin-offs. English Dub Details
