    Any fans? These are my favorite mangas of all time. The stories that CLAMP comes up with are always really good and mind-bending. :grin:

    Haha, I just ordered the last 5 volumes of Tsubasa yesterday. I'll finally be done reading it, but with the way CLAMP writes, I doubt if I will understand completely what happened.

    I used to be obsessed with both of those in middle school!!! CLAMP can really write some interesting stories. My sis and I have read the whole thing as of last year!

    CLAMP's stories usually start out strong, have a decent plot progression, some weird twist, and really odd endings.

    Tsubasa is a prime example. I couldn't stomach the climax and ending. It's too much for me. The main goal of the villain is pretty dumb because hasn't he, on many occasions, shown that he had the ability already? Also, the way he referred to the dimensional witch in the beginning of the story sent a complete opposite message of his actual goal. I'll avoid giving any spoilers in order to explain myself.

    There are several things that set tsubasa apart from others. The angst, the tears, and lets not forget the most distinctive feature of the manga: the full spectrum of CLAMP's imaginary world that connects every single manga they've ever written. I don't think any author has done that before.
