Toboso wanted Kuroshitsuji to evolve into Yaoi but the editor said NOPE. I guess this collection is a hint of that frustration for not being able to do what she wanted with her story. Weird since all the people I know who read Kuroshitsuji are fujoshi's anyway so it's not like the popularity would have gone down
agreed ><
but how do u kno bout all that things?
It couldn't have been nearly as popular if it was made into yaoi. Kuroshitsuji has a lot of male fans as well and not all, or even most girls who like anime are into yaoi. Not to mention that it couldn't have been published or translated in so many countries if it had those sorts of themes.
Although I am a fujoshi and I adore Kuroshitsuji, I think the ambiguity of the homoerotic tension is what makes Kuroshitsuji so awesome. If that tension were fulfilled, I fear it would become "just another yaoi". As it is now, It's like it draws you in BECAUSE you know nothing sexual will happen. Yet, that sexual tension is still so strong. Whether between Grell and Sebastian or Ciel and Sebastian or whatever "flavor of the volume" and Sebastian (lol) it all becomes fodder for amazing fantasies, doujinshi and fanfic. Kuroshitsuji has a reach that a typical yaoi couldn't touch.
Yeah that could be and also, I swear the sexual tensions between male characters in Kuroshitsuji is so intriguing and even though I really like actual BLs, sometimes I want just hints and bromance and something like Kuroshitsuji (づ￣ ³￣)づ
They should let her choose tho. Let Kurohitsuji become a yaoi! >:(
The translation group has been inactive and released nothing since 2012. They quit without leaving permission for other scantalators to take up their unfinished projects. If anyone wants to take over the project though, it's been so long It's up for grabs.
I really enjoyed it but I would consider this more shonen-ai than Yaoi.
The Yaoi Chin is strong in this one
And the Yaoi hands are just, THERE Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Hot daddy (▰˘◡˘▰ Ahhh I wish there was more, the sons story seemed a bit unresolved
On the scanlation group Cocktale Hours site is says under this project 'COMPLETE' so either they dropped it or somehow they don't know there are seven chapters not two?
on their tumblr it is under 'current projects' so i think they are still working on it. if anyone has tumblr they can ask them.
Chp 40 and 41 are out in Spanish (I think that's what it is, maybe Portuguese?) I hate waiting ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
I really like how this author explores different fetishes in a nice CONSENSUAL way in her various works without the characters shaming each other. This one is more smutty then the others, but generally she writes the perfect balance of cute couples and smut (▰˘◡˘▰)
