Synopsis

Snow surrounds the 17-year-old Kazahaya Kudou while he fights not to lose consciousness amid the freezing landscape. Luckily, a cold-blooded young man named Rikuo Himura saves him and brings him to his boss, Kakei, owner of Green Drugstore. Out of necessity, Kazahaya agrees to become Kakei's employee.

However, Kazahaya's job is not limited to organizing shelves and dealing with customers. Due to his ability to see strange things, Kazahaya is commissioned to complete dangerous assignments in exchange for money. Begrudgingly paired, Kazehaya and Rikuo—who also seems to possess unique powers—must take on these missions while confronting ghosts from the past that are hunting them down.

I was waiting for a friend to get done with something while standing in a Barnes & Noble and I saw Legal Drug and that it was by CLAMP so I picked it up and started reading it. In the long run my friend showed up and had to wait for me to finish before we left. I later found out she had the second one and I borrowed it. And now I have the third.

I find the characters believable and attractive (not a necessity but a perk). On top of that I find the story very interesting. It is ...

Mixed Feelings
Potential is the big word here when describing Legal Drug.

The character's intentions, abilities and origins are shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, getting clearer and clearer every few chapters. This is what helped me to continue Legal Drug however the series brought a focus to strange things in the manga unnecessarily. This includes background characters saying profound things to the main characters including their full names; it seems like they'd get a call back moment in later chapters but this isn't the case. The fact that Legal Drug contains these red herrings that never get concluded really disturbs the immersion and makes finishing the manga ...
