The Anime and Manga Review By Soy
Another title from CLAMP that delivers some of their cutest and deepest chracters I've seen. I have read all of the manga and seen a good bit of the animated series and they seem to follow each other well rather than being completly different. The art is true to CLAMP style; whimsical and adorable chracters with highly detailed costumes and beautiful and creative hair styles...at least for the ladies ^.^
The story is also something you expect from CLAMP. Another romance. But I love romance and this series made my heart skip many times. f a manga can make you want to hug every stranger you see on the sidewalk then it'd have to be good, right? It's not just love...it's a deep question about how much one can expect of the ones they love and what they are willing to do for them. hile offerring these questions the story also explores questions invloving computers and artificial intelligence and how much man relies on both.
Maybe I'm looking into the story to deeply but I believe something can be learned from stories like these.
