.......... noted that Square Enix specializes in targeted genres, such as moe, fujoshi (otaku of boys-love stories), surreal gag, and traditional shōnen manga. He cited Saki and Bamboo Blade as examples of moe titles aimed at males 30 to 40 years old. Fullmetal Alchemist is an example of traditional shōnen manga, which is the biggest of the genres.

While he noted that Square Enix is planning a second season of the fujoshi anime Kuroshitsuji, he added that fujoshi is a difficult genre..........

Fujoshi is a pejorative term for girls who are fans of yaoi. Fujoshi is more towards how some yaoi fangirls imagine what it would be like if male characters (heterosexual males) from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, would somehow fall in love with each other.

I don't think Kuroshitsuji is a fujoshi but it can easily be misinterpreted as one.

Read the article- if the producer of Kuroshitsuji is calling it a fujoshi series-that is pretty much official.

However I don't know if he is calling it a bl or describing an emerging genre. if you think about the other square-enix series coming out lately you'll get what I mean.
