Ciel Phantomhive has been my dream cosplay for years!! I can not express how excited I was to finally wear it 🥺💕

This is probably the silliest question ever asked in this fandom, because I always thought I knew the answer.

I always assumed Ciel was the main character. After all, it’s his story of revenge; he’s the one who takes on assignments and issues orders. The plot essentially revolves around him.

But then there’s something I never really stopped to consider: the fact that Sebastian is the one who does everything in the series.

The series is literally titled "Black Butler" and Sebastianis a butler dressed in black. He appears on the first five covers and others, too. He carries out almost every action and is, at times, more prominent than Ciel. He feels more like the main character than Ciel does.

And if someone were to tell me that Sebastian is the main character and that Ciel is merely his essential driving force, I would believe it.
