so-soI've read other of Clamp's work and now know that there's going to be a slow build up, lots of characters thrown at me from the start and beautiful art, which this one has but there's also within it's pages the looks of an intricate story, one steeped in blood and death so I am definitely intrigued to see how the rest plays out.
so-soWhile trying to decide what manga to borrow from my library, I decided that something from Clamp might be fun and picked one I hadn't read but saw a few images of when I was a teen. As is usual with Clamp, the character designs are fun! I didn't enjoy the story as much, though. I liked the over-the-top drama of game/sports manga like Yu-Gi-Oh and this one in middle school but it lost its appeal. I also hated the professor character. #manga
Our Clamp manga collection, I have more in boxes back home being kept by my sister in law. Wonderful, beautiful, and achingly painful stories are found in these books.
Throwback to breakfast, when I devoured more of X. Volume 9 was my favourite yet. I loved it so much that I went ahead and requested the next two omnibi, even though I‘ve got a ton of other comics in transit for me.
I thought a while about what book to use for #DecemberSong prompt 3, Let It Snow. Finally, I remembered that this volume of Legal Drug (now Drug and Drop) has a big snowstorm toward the end for like... 3 pages. #Manga #PhotoChallenge
pickI love CLAMP. Their art style is just so whimsical and gorgeous. This is a cute little (only 4 volumes) love story that is just pure sweetness.
June 5: Cardcaptor Sakura was one of the first #lgbtqbook(s) I found that was more than subtex. It's a beautiful story about a girl who discovers her own magic and figures out how to navigate this new part of herself in her everyday life. There are several #lgbtq characters. I remember Teenage me being so angry at the first #anime dub for trying to edit them out. #manga #lgbtmanga #fantasy #magicalgirl #pridemonth2020 #manga
I planned to read a lot and walk a lot today, but I woke up exhausted. Blah.
Even if I can‘t do as much as I wanted, I‘d love to finish WISH and make it through a big chunk of SWEEP OF THE BLADE by Ilona Andrews. #easterextravaganza
#AcrossApril is finding rain today! I decided it'd be easier to find in my comic/graphic novel/manga collection. @Eggs #manga #rain
