Black Butler (manga)/Setting: Difference between revisions

** Sebastian appears to wear latex gloves when he works in the kitchen.

** Let's not forget about a certain shinigami using a chainsaw, the cook using flame throwers or the modern washing machine in the Phantomhive Manor. Recently in the manga, only shinigami have out-of-place artifacts (for instance, this guy's [http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/52/13 "strange watch"] [http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/52/28 and odd glasses]).

** The clothing isn't modest enough. Both Victorian and Edwardian fashions were very modest; exposed legs and cleavage would have been obscene. Maylene's bathing suit would have been scandalous and Yana Toboso gave up even trying with the ladies' costume party and Ciel in Wonderland costumes. Also, Elizabeth's fashion sense sometimes sinks into 18th century territory.

* [[Author Appeal]]: Understandable, considering the author was once a [[Yaoi]] [[Hentai]] mangaka, but:

** Yana Toboso also has a thing for suave, gentlemanly characters, as seen by Sebastian, Aleister Chambers, and various other characters in this and Toboso's other works.

** In the bonus comic in Volume XXI we learn that Yana Toboso included the attractive female soldiers as fanservice for herself and herself alone while all the assistants longed after pretty boys and Victorian elegance. Bisexuality confirmed.

* [[Battle Butler]]: A recurring character type. Sebastian, Agni, etc. fall into this category.

* [[The Beautiful Elite]]: [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]] with the Phantomhive family.

* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: So many examples.

* [[The Thing That Goes Doink]]: This Japanese mainstay appears in the Phantomhive garden as a part of a temporary Japanese theme.

* [[Weird Moon]]: The moon, when visible, is always either full or an unrealistic sickle.
