Earl Cain

Serial killers, insane household servants, mad scientists, and little girls with macabre hobbies haunt these spooky shojo manga takes on folk rhymes and classic children's literature, in volume one of a series. The hero of these Gothic tales is 17-year-old Lord Cain Hargreaves, who inherited the title of earl following the death of his abusive father. The amazingly handsome Lord Cain, an expert in poisons, stalks the streets of Victorian London, pursuing the homicidal maniacs that continually endanger both his loved ones and his more distant acquaintances.
