Black Butler (manga)/WMG: Difference between revisions

Whether he truly identifies as male or is living as male in order to take the real Ciel Phantomhive's place, as mentioned above (it's highly unlikely that this theory holds water if the Ciel we're seeing is the real Ciel, because it's Victorian England, and he's engaged to a girl he's known since birth.) there are a handful of signs suggesting this- and it's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a few times. Ciel is very feminine in appearance (as proven by how exceptionally well he passed in drag) and he's been getting progressively more feminine as the series has gone on.(Contrast [http://i38.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/2/kuroshitsuji-52056.jpg this picture]{{Dead link}} to [https://web.archive.org/web/20150906080112/http://i7.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/63/kuroshitsuji-2815719.jpg this one].) Beginning to go through puberty, perhaps? In chapter 37, Nina Hopkins comments that his measurements have stayed the same, with the exception of his waist being slimmer, implying he's getting somewhat of an hourglass figure. Frances comments that he's built more like a girl. And this is, perhaps, slight nitpick, but in Noah's Ark Circus, considering the backgrounds of most of the performers, he seems resistant to removing his clothes in front of other males beyond what one would expect for just the brand on his back. And even when he knows that Freckles{{spoiler|/Doll}} is able to lift up his shirt at the back and see the brand, he determinedly holds his shirt down over his chest.
