Clamp no Kiseki (Manga)

CLAMP no Kiseki; it's a great idea for a group of Mangaka with so many series under their belt. (I also love the fact that it comes with chess pieces, but that besides the point.)

This is one of the ways I learned more about CLAMP's manga, it gave little tips about things I didn't notice in the series, ("Oh, so that's what that meant in Clover!") and it also let me see that some of their series weren't my cup of tea. The interviews are darling, the comments that other artists make about the women of CLAMP and the comments CLAMP temsleves make about their own work show how much they love what they do.

Not many stories, unless we're talking about CLAMP's stories about creating the mangas. There is also the (cute) short stories in the back of the book, but they don't always run together.

The art ranges from CLAMP's old delicate and girly art to their more moden, simple and clean art. But all with the CLAMP flair. It was also really interesting to see the CLAMP characters in the styles of other Mangakas.

Their's not much "character" to speak of, unless we're talking about Ioryogi's (of Kobato.) adventures. Then it's hilarious.

Though I really did enjoy reading about their older, hard-to-find series, like Clover for example, if you're looking for something deep then you're out of luck.

Overall, it's a great addition if you love CLAMP or you want to get more detail on you favorite CLAMP series. read more
