I do hope..

Isn't that obvious? I mean, that the author of this Manga is a guy and unfortunately he really isn't into yaoi

It's a girl and she used to write doujinshis...
But it was indeed never meant to be BL, since she was hired for a shonen magazine aha.

Ahe is a girl tho, and she loves yaoi lol.

first of all, yana toboso ,the author, is a girl. If you don't know, kuroshitsuji was supposedly be a yaoi manga at first but the editor rejected the idea saying it's not gonna sell well, so yana toboso dropped the idea and the result is the kuroshitsuji now

Oooh is that so? Guess I got wrong info ╮(￣▽￣)╭
So there was the possibility of kuroshitsuji turning into yaoi?..... Why did that idiot editor reject the idea?! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I wouldn't call that editor an idiot, if it weren't for his suggestion this manga wouldn't have come this far and we wouldn't have been able to see such an amazing art improvement from yana-sensei. I think this manga is amazing even without being a yaoi and don't you think that those little subtle yaoi hints are much more enjoyable than just reading a hardcore yaoi manga?

The editor works for a shonen magazine and they've been working together before on Rust Blaster... O.o
It could never have been yaoi. Square Enix doesn't have any magazine like that, and she quit where she was serialised for yaoi a while before that (to work on Rust Blaster, then after Black Butler where her editor encouraged her to work on her idea of having a demon butler as a main character).
Just how do you guys think manga serializing works?

I don't know who down voted this, but obviously there are many mixed stories from people that don't make this very " obvious," Hot and Spicy."

Guys, literally google it. It's the oldest rumor about Kuroshitsuji ever, and the most baseless one to boot. I've been following the series for quite a few years now. And as much as I am a fan of BL, I'm not about to take on the convenient head canon that, just because the author is prone to homoerotic content, it does not mean that she was forced out of making the series full-on homosexual, or even that the original design specs for the story were BL.

After looking up the whole manga-making process, people would clearly understand that any given manga series in the modern day has not come into existence without first being sponsored by a magazine and publishing group for a targeted demographic. The key here is to understand that Yana, since her time as a recruited artist for square enix, actively understood and chose to be part of the shounen demographic, and to ascribe to the culture of storytelling that square enix has perpetuated. These stories tend to be more on the josei (old women) side of shounen, but they were never and probably will never be BL. Therefore, this series could not have originally been designed as a BL. Manga publishing doesn’t work like novel writing in the States or elsewhere, because the series has to “earn” its right to be put into its own volume format. First and foremost, the artist works has a team member to complete the monthly/weekly magazine issues that their publishing company puts out. Each story can have little deviation genre or demographic-wise, depending on the publishing company that the artist is beneath. And since Yana chose to be a part of square enix, a bigwig, she knew the type of stories she would write would have to be shounen – it would have been insulting, unprofessional, and unorthodox to even concede to the idea of fighting for a BL storyline, though this by no means meant that she was not allowed to have her fun with fanservice, as most authors do with straight pairing hints or sexualization of the female body.
