The Black Label line of Yana Toboso's Black Butler proves that the Victorian paranormal series can go even harder when it wants to. The Black Butler is nothing if not stylish. "Bitter Rabbit," a collection of beautiful bunnies inspired by the characters and style of Black Butler, is part of the upscale products brand.
The Bitter Rabbit Café & Shop will provide customers with a dining and shopping experience focused on the creepy-cute line this summer. In recent artwork by Toboso, Ciel, Sebastian, Grell, and other characters are depicted sporting bunny-ear bowlers for the occasion. There will be six new product categories, including Sebastian and Ciel bunnies, candies, mugs, and more!

At a later time, there will also be a menu announced. All we currently know is that it will be done in "English pub" fashion. We'll make sure to update you as more details are released.
Beginning in August 2023, The Black Butler Black Label Bitter Rabbit Café will be held in Tokyo and Osaka. In October 2023, pop-up shops will be introduced to Tokyo, Osaka, Aichi, and Fukuoka.
Not familar with the Black Butler paranormal anime series? Here's a brief summary:
Black Butler is the story of Ciel Phantomhive and his desire for revenge against those who committed awful acts against him. To do so, he makes a deal with a handsome devil named Sebastian. This anime can be very dark and has themes that can be triggering, it also has a surprising amount of comedy.
Still, it isn’t something we recommend for younger goths. Still, Black Butler is filled with gothic architecture and fashion in the most literal sense. The anime also takes several literary and historical stories and provides them with new twists. Viewers will find themselves fully engaged in each episode as one mystery unravels another. Also, did we mention the handsome devil? Because that’s important too.
