A new collaboration between the anime Black Butler – Emerald Witch Arc and the karaoke chain Karaoke BanBan is set to launch on June 5, 2026. The campaign will feature specially drawn illustrations, themed drinks with random novelty items, exclusive merchandise, and limited-edition collaboration rooms at select stores.
About Black Butler
The Black Butler series is a dark fantasy manga by Yana Toboso, serialized in Monthly GFantasy since the October 2006 issue. The story follows Sebastian Michaelis, the impeccably loyal butler of the noble Phantomhive family, and his young master Ciel Phantomhive, who acts as the “Queen’s Watchdog” handling the underworld’s dirty work in 19th-century England. The manga has sold over 36 million copies worldwide, captivating fans with its beautifully detailed world and colorful cast.
The sixth anime adaptation, Black Butler – Boarding School Arc, aired from April to June 2024. It depicted Sebastian and Ciel infiltrating the prestigious Weston boarding school to investigate the disappearance of several students, including one named Derrick.
Now, the series teams up with Karaoke BanBan for a full-scale promotional event.
