Talk:Black Angel/@comment-86.200.92.21-20140107133557

To people debating about whether Black Angel is male or female: you do realize that angels are supposed to be genderless? ;) Of course, most depictions of angels (especially in manga and anime) give them gender attributes (usually, generous, luscious *female* attributes). But angels actually do *not* have any attributes of either sex, and they are perfectly androgynous in their appearance.

The best manga depiction of angels I've seen so far is CLAMP's "Wish". You really can't tell if those angels are male or female, and they work as both. In this sense, I think Black Angel is actually a good angel depiction. The artwork suggests a slender male figure, but could also be interpreted as a flatchested tomboyish girl.
