If it was meant to be Yaoi
then by all means it would be shorta, it's a fact. because no matter how old Ciel is 13, 21, 33, 63... he'll always be as young as an infant before Sebastian, I mean he's a demon, demons are immortal, and have lived a pretty long life, Sebastian said so himself. (ch 63 pg 5)
I don't mind shota. Personally, I see Ciel as more mature than some of the adults around him. Given his maturity and that Sebastian is a demon and wouldn't give a damn about age, I can buy into it. Yana-san has done shouta before. Either way, Yana did admit to it in a twitter post that it was suppose to have been yaoi. I wish she'd do more yaoi, but right now she has this gorgeous manga to do first. (Maybe she'll do some DJ under another pen name. She already has some under Yanao Rocks.)
But yaoi or no yaoi, this manga is a best. It's perfectly fine without the relationships.
However, I do have to admit feeling a bit down hearted when certain shippers (*cough*LizziexCiel*cough*) attack the SebxCiel fans just for liking the pair. I've been called gross just for shipping it, and told to check in a mental hospital. That's just mean. Has that ever happened to any of you?
Wish it was yaoi ;~; God dammit, best manga ever.
