This manga is 50% song lyrics and 50% white background lol I decided for this rating: Art: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Plot: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The white backgrounds typical[image]
This manga is 50% song lyrics and 50% white background lol I decided for this rating: Art: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Plot: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The white backgrounds typical in CLAMP's mangas are a bit too much in this one, but I still love their art style. As for the plot, since this is an experimental anime I don't think the artists prioritised it, but it was still okay. I kinda wish this was completed but at the same time I don't know if I would be interested enough to go on reading for, let's say, 20 volumes. I get why I was so obsessed with this as a teenager though. If you read a lot of manga, this definitely looks and feels very different and... edgy I guess? So yeah, it definitely stands out....more
Seems like the plot is starting to sense now, and it's very typically "CLAMP". I don't mind it, just it was a bit rushed and I didn't really ha[image]
Seems like the plot is starting to sense now, and it's very typically "CLAMP". I don't mind it, just it was a bit rushed and I didn't really have time to get attached enough to the characters to start caring about them. I'm also starting to like the experimental feel of this manga, and as always I'm a fan of the artists. Plus this has a fantasy/biopunk feel to it that I adore. I'm starting to remember why I used to love this manga so much.

On a side note, the white backgrounds of CLAMP's artwork are a bit extreme in this one, I wouldn't mind a bit more context in the scenes. But overall, this is an interesting reading experience and now I'm starting to be sad because it remains unfinished with only 4 volumes....more

At first I didn't think I'd like it so much because I was put off by the art style and the general vintage feel, but I was caught up in the plot from the first volume, and in the end it was a very satisfying story.

Saying it was unpredictable might be a stretch, but it did have some small plot twists and in general, even though it had its fair share of tropes and clichés, it wasn't so bad, especially for the time in which it was written. I feel like not enough people know about this manga, so I wish to recommend it to as many people as possible. A solid 4 stars read, with some 5 stars along the way!

When I was a teenager I was obsessed with this manga, even if I barely understood it (if you read it you know that it's kinda experimental). It just felt magical to me, and it was probably one of my favourite mangas. Now as I reread it, it just feels like Chobits but more confusing. Also the story feels pretty non existent and rushed. The mystery is cool though. Also, CLAMP's art is as beautiful as always, even though people are even longer than usual in this one ...more
