Luxury Liner arc adapted from Yana Toboso's manga
A theatrical anime film adaptation of the "Gōka Kyakusen" (Luxury Liner) arc from Yana Toboso's Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) manga has been green-lit. The Kuroshitsuji Book of the Atlantic (Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic) film will open in early 2017. Toboso created a visual for the film:
The "Gōka Kyakusen" arc appeared in the manga's 11th through 14th compiled book volumes. The story is set on the luxury liner Campania and centers around secrets to resurrecting the dead.
The Aniplex Plus booth at the AnimeJapan 2016 convention will sells limited-edition advance tickets for the film with an exclusive illustration from Toboso from March 26 to March 27.
Yen Press published the manga in North America, and it describes the manga's beginning:
When a terrible fire claims his parents, Ciel Phantomhive must step up as the head of his father's company and as Earl of Phantomhive Manor. It would be a lot for the young boy to handle were it not for his faithful butler, Sebastian. Ever at Ciel's side, it seems there's little Sebastian can't do, whether it's saving a dinner party gone awry or probing the dark secrets of London's underbelly. He's almost too good to be true... or at least, too good to be human...
The manga already inspired the 2008 television anime series, followed by the anime sequel Black Butler II, the 2014 Black Butler: Book of Circus television anime, and the 2014 Black Butler: Book of Murder original video anime project. The manga also inspired a live-action film.
