Though I'd consider this close to standalone status if you want to watch it by itself, I must say, if you liked the first season, you'll love Book of Circus. It's everything the first season did well and just polished to perfection. The visuals are stunning, the soundtrack is sublime, the new characters are compelling, and the plot is consistently interesting. It's a much easier watch than the original season and is much more fast paced.

This series had an interesting plot but could have done away with bishounen (guys flirting with other guys), there was too much for one to take... that is unless you enjoy that and also the spoiled nature of the boy. It would've been compelling to learn more about the butler or even some of the side characters, but 'tis not to be. Unless you enjoy bishounen, that would be the reason to watch this series.

12-13, male, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., fencingFencing is a sport in which two competitors fight using `rapier-style` swords, called the foil, the épée, and the sabre; winning points are made through the contact with an opponent., humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., introvertIntroverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.
Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.
Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts., orphanThe character (in common usage: only a child, or the young of an animal) has lost both parents., selfishSelfishness is the condition of holding one`s own self-interest as the chief or sole influence and standard in decision-making and lacking concern for the well-being of others.

Not a professional practitioner of the Japanese tea ceremony.

For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., glovesA glove is a garment covering the whole hand., shinigamiShinigami (死神, "death spirit") is the personification of death that evolved in Japan, having been imported to Japan from Europe during the Meiji period.
This image of death was quickly adopted and featured in such works as the rakugo play Shinigami and in Shunsen Takehara`s Ehon Hyaku Monogatari (One-hundred Story Picture-Book).
The term shinigami may also be used more loosely to refer to any death deity.
It seems to be a recent term, however, as it belongs to no specific Shinto deity and is rarely used in folklore.
Today, the use of shinigami for any number of supernatural beings associated with death in Japanese manga and anime is common.
For example, the series Bleach, Death Note, and Soul Eater use shinigami as a major plot device. (source: Wikipedia), short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length., strictThis character is rigorously conforming to principle, norm or condition.
