hey is akito a guy or a girl?

akito's a girl but her mother said that the heir should be a man so she was raised as a man. i nearly thought akito was gay...

Yea Akito is a girl. He is raised as a male because his family felt their "god" needed to be a man. But also, her and shigure get married. Shigure loves Akito, Akito loves Shigure. It was Tahru who first said "Akito-san is a female." in one of the manga books. But you know, Akito is better a boy. It's hard to think that Shigure is in LOVE because he's well...a perv and i cant see him marring Akito, who has so much power because shigure is...shigure. You know what im saying though

to be simply put:
Anime - Guy
Manga - Girl
i have no idea why they decided to make him a guy in the Anime...

Well I have seen/read both in the manga she was raised to be like a man so yes akito is a girl!But in the anime akito is shown to be a man by having a man chest/broad shoulders.

she's a girl. and akito and shigure are inlove

I've only seen the anime, and there hes a boy!

Akito is a FEMALE ALL the Way in both the manga and the show BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Hes really both...He is a boy in the series and the manga he is a she

Akito is a girl because in the original manga it is revealed that Akito only dresses like a guy because of his hatred of his mother (a female) and love for his father. Also the "family" felt "the god" should be a boy.

Akito was born a girl but raised a dude, I think Ren said something about only wanting a boy *bitch*.

i've read the hole manga except the last book ( i don't want the series to end!) and in the manga is is a girl but she dresses as a boy and she was brought up as a boy.

In the anime, it only covers books 1-8, so we never get up to the part of the manga where it is revealed Akito is female, so in the anime Akito is male. But in the manga, it is revealed Akito is female, but her motehr Ren raised her as a male because she thought Akito would take her place in Akira's (Ren's husband, Akito's father) heart, and also she didn't believe it was right for such a powerful place in the family to be held by a girl or something. How anti-feminist.
In the end, Akito begins living as a woman when Shigure buys her a womens kimono. It turns out that was Shigure's plan the whole time because he loved Akito, but she was in a sexual relationship with Kureno, another Zodiac member (the Rooster). Then there's complicated side information about Shigure having a brief sexual relationship with Ren in retaliation of Akito's relationship with Kureno, but we need not go into that, do we?

So, yeah, Akito's a girl.

I read it in the manga,i'm pretty sure Akito-san is biologically a female,but she was raised as a guy-so I'm pretty sure Akito-san is a female.
