In 2008, during a trip to Japan, I picked up a copy of Kuroshitsuji in a book shop. This was before the manga had made its way into the West and I was unfamiliar with the premise. Little did I know it would become the huge success that it is today. In Japan at the time, maid mangas were something of a common fare, but (aside from a few exceptions) butler mangas had failed to take off in any significant way.
