Mangaka CLAMP!

One of my favorite mangaka's of all time!! I would say, group. Their stories are just out there, very original and intriguing. The stories are like string with loops, tangles and twists.......they are never boring!! They are just amazing!!!! So out of this world!! :DD

Not only their stories amaze me but their art too. I don't know what to say but its just beautiful, detailed and amazing.


The leader of CLAMP is Nanase Ohkawa (大川 七瀬, Ōkawa Nanase). She provides the storylines and screenplays. The three artists who like to shift roles are, Mokona (もこな, Mokona), Tsubaki Nekoi (猫井 椿, Nekoi Tsubaki) and Satsuki Igarashi (いがらし 寒月, Igarashi Satsuki).



CLAMP is known for creating the most diverse manga's in the manga world. I really look up to them! They are sooo awesome!! Their manga's never get me bored and they always get me inspired to create stories and draw different styles. I love their manga's because they are either Shonen or Shojo. They don't stay on the same genre or whatever. There is at least one manga that everyone will love. I love it!!!

I guess my first manga/anime from CLAMP is Cardcaptor Sakura. It got me into manga and anime. ^_^



You know what I love about CLAMP? I love how they use their characters in different stories!! I think its called Cross something.....I can't remember. But I find it cool and interesting. Seriously, do you see very many mangaka's that do this? So far, I only see one and that is CLAMP!

Summary: (Its been awhile since I've read this one....so this summary is from mangafox.com) 300 years ago, a powerful warlord rebelled against the Heavenly Emperor. After killing the Emperor, the warlord crowned himself as the new Emperor, starting a cruel reign. But there is a prophecy: Six Stars will one day assemble and overthrow his tyrannical rule ...

Six stars will fall to this plane. The dark stars that will defy the Heavens. And you shall undertake a journey. One that begins when you find the child of a vanished race. I cannot discern the child's alignment. I only know that it is he alone who can turn the wheels of Tenkai's destiny. For it is by Heavenly Mandate that through this child, the Six Stars shall begin to gather. And then someone shall appear from the shadows. Even my powers cannot clearly make out his figure, but he knows the future and can manipulate both evil and heavenly stars. A roaring flame shall raze the wicked. Six stars will overpower all others. And inevitably, they will be the schism that splits the Heavens."

Now, the ruler of the Yasha Clan has found Ashura, the last of the Ashura Clan, and together they set out to find the Six Stars and fulfill the prophecy.


RG Veda is CLAMP's debut manga.

I find this manga a true classic. The art is just beautiful, detailed and amazing considering it was from 1989.



I love the story!!! It is just amazing!! The best plot ever!!!! There were things that I never expected and surprised me. I have nothing anything else to say but just uttery captivating and amazing.

This next manga was difficult in describing the plot. I don't know how I got into Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I guess when I read the summary (which kinda confused me), I wanted to see what it was like. So forgive me once again (who cares! I can do whatever I want! MUHAHAHA!!! Sorry.....). I'm going to copy and paste because I don't want to confuse you!

Summary: (mangafox.com) This is the story of four travelers, bound by fate and by prophesied future. Sakura is the princess of Clow Country, and possessor of a strange power that promises to change the world. Syaoran is an aspiring archaeologist and her childhood friend. When Sakura is endangered by the plan a certain man has for the future, the princess' memories are scattered across dimensions in the form of feathers, and Syaoran is forced to go on a desperate journey to retrieve them. They are accompanied by Fay D. Flourite, a magician running from the horrible truth of his past, and Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja trying to get back to his world. However, the ability to cross worlds demands a great price, and each of them must pay the Space-Time Witch with what he or she values most. In order to save his princess, Syaoran must give up his relationship with her. Even if he gathers all of Sakura's memories, she will never remember him...

But the world is not so simple. The very moment these four made this decision, their destinies were sealed into a tragic course—as everyone in the group has their own secrets...




I am really surprised.....when I first saw this I thought, "Sakura??? Syoaron???? EH?! Is this a sequel??" Well I thought wrong. They just used characters from Cardcaptor Sakura in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. As I've said, there was a word for it......cross something......oh well. I'll figure that out later.

I'm still in the middle of reading this manga. Man, its amazing. It has its dark, sad, light and happy parts. I'm just speechless. I'm totally lost for words! I kinda get confused at parts.....I guess I should read xxxholic to.



This manga is like Cardcaptor Sakura, Shonen style! I noticed the art style has shifted to a Shonen style to suit the Shonen vibe. The lines, I noticed, are a bit thicker. I don't see the girly thin lines they do. Of course CLAMP would do this because they would want to draw in boy readers with their art, not just the story. I find this really intriguing. And very amazing!

Summary: (animeseason.com) Kobato is sweet and perky girl, but also extremely naive about the world around her. She has a "mission", which is to fill a mysterious bottle of hers with the suffering from people's hearts so her wish to go a certain place that she desires to go can be granted. However, she must not fall in love with a particular boy she works with and whose heart she must heal.


Sniff Sniff........I just started watching the anime and its soo beautiful! Sigh.....

The art is so adorable. I love it!

The characters in this manga make me smile so much. Especially the dog. I love the dog! His character scary but it clashes with Kobato's warm and nice nature. It kinda makes me scared for her but it works out.

Other manga's (that I've read) by CLAMP.

Arigatou~!!

Man! I forgot to do recommendations on these other Magical girls.....oh well! :D

Summary: Two witches named Chocolat and Vanilla are best friends. But they are totally different in every way! Chocolat is a total Tomboy and loud. Vanilla on the other hand, is the shy quiet type and the daughter of the Queen of the Magic World. Funny thing is, Chocolat's mother and Vanilla's mother competed to become Queen of the Magic World. Now its their turn to compete for the crown. No matter what happens or who wins, Chocolat and Vanilla vow to stay friends.

The competition works like this: Chocolat and Vanilla are sent to the Human world. The main point is to see who will get the most boys to fall in love with them and steal their hearts through magic. Each heart is worth an Ecure, the currency in the Magic World. There are different color hearts so different amounts of Ecure's they get. The witch that has the most Ecure wins!

However, boys in the Human world seem to fall in love with the quiet and shy Vanilla faster than Chocolat. Is Chocolat going to lose that easily?

Interesting piece of information of the day: Humans in the Human world have more than one heart. On the other hand, Witches only have one. If a Witch falls in love and is taken- the witch will die.



This manga is full of fun and cuteness. It shows the real meaning of friendship. The story is pretty predictable but different. I love the witch thing! I'm sorry, I'm a pretty simple person and most magical girl manga's/anime's make me happy and I enjoy it either way.

The art is great! Nothing to complain about! The guys are really hot!

Summary: Fairyland is suffering, the worlds of Kaguya-hime, Snow White, and Cinderella are slowly disappearing. Natsuki, Ringo, and Layla are three young girls have been asked to transform into the respective princesses and spread happiness amongst humankind in order to restore Fairyland. Once they transform they become a three girl idol pop group 'Lilpri' (Little Princess) which spreads happiness through song.


I don't care what people think, I really enjoyed this anime! The characters are really cute and their songs are pretty catchy!!

The story is pretty neat. It reminds me of my childhood when I used to love Barbie and Snow white.

The art is just soooooooooooooo cute!!! Argh! I want to draw like that!!

Summary: 14 year old Meimi Haneoka is a girl who transforms into a theif at night but is a normal girl during the day. She is like a modern day Robin Hood- stealing things from theives and returns the items back to their original owners. She gets help from her friend and nun-in-training, Seira Mimori and is chased by her classmate (of course a soon to be love interest), Daiki Asuka also called Asuka Jr.


Well techincally Saint tail is not a Magical Girl but it kinda seems like it. Meimi uses magic tricks instead of actual magic magic. Its something new and the creator pulled it off. I think its pretty cool.

The storyline does kinda remind me of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne since Meimi is a theif and all. Also the person in charge is a guy but in Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne is Maron's best friend, Miyako. Close enough. Another different thing is, Meimi steals things to give them back to their rightful owner. In Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Maron steals things because the item causes people to become bad. I know my words are pretty childish but I can't find the words to put.

I love the art! Nuff said. LOL :D

Miu's job is to transform into Shojo Tenshi Milcute and find the "Heart of God" to stop the fighting once and for all.

However, its forbidden when an Angel falls in love with a Devil. Of course she does. What will happen to her?


I love the storyline! I know its always the same but......I still love it! The angel and devil thing....I still enjoy it! Its predictable but hey, its a magical girl! What do you expect?

The art is sooo cute! The guys are hot...hehe :D

Summary: (mangafox.com) Shy Ayu Tateishi has just made a new friend at school. But this new friend, much to her surprise, is no ordinary classmate. Nina Sakura may look like a normal middle school girl, but she's got a big secret.

She's a witch. (Great)

Or, rather, she's studying to be a witch. And apparently, she's not doing her homework. Her spells are devastating in their ineffectiveness and often result in the most embarrassing situations for poor Ayu.
But things wouldn't be so bad if Nina's sorcery didn't make Ayu look silly in front of the one boy she secretly adores. All she wants is a simple love potion. What she gets, however, is a new best friend who almost flunked out of witch school!



The story line made me cry, angry, laugh and happy. I really love it! The art is ok but it is really cute! :D

You know what? This anime is close to unpredictable on my charts! I don't know what is going on and what would happen next. I love it! This is maybe the first manga/anime that I've read/watched that is  unpredictable! Yay! Something new! ^_^ Some parts are pretty predictable but........most are not!

The art is pretty good. Once again, the guys are really hot. Hahaha!

Summary: (Its been awhile....so I got the summary from animenewsnetwork.com) Tsunami, one of the two candidates for the throne of the magic kingdom Juraihelm, is chosen to acsend the throne. Though to be queen, she has to pick an idol who can represent her. Rumiya, the other candidate, despises Tsunami, even though she acts as a friend to her. Rumiya thinks that she is superior to Tsunami and tries to foil Tsunami's crowning. Tsunami's chooses the earthling Sasami as her magical warrior to bring peace and love to earth. Rumiya uses Sasami's introverted friend, Misao, and turns her into the wild warrior, Pixy Misa. Pixyy Misa causes mayhem on earth, while Sasami does not want to except the reality of magic.



This anime is pretty old but it doesn't bother me! Anyways, this anime uses many characters from the anime/manga Techi Muyo! I haven't actually watched or read Techi Muyo so don't ask my how the characters in Magical Girl Pretty Sammy.

The storyline is pretty new to me but as always, predictable. There is always a bad guy or a hot guy at least. The characters kinda remind me of some of the characters from Sailor moon.

The art is pretty good considering its from a long time ago. I think most of the art styles now, came from anime's and manga's like this one from a long time ago. If you look closely and compare, I totally think so.

Summary: Normal highschool girls, Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki, Fuu Hououji are on a field trip to the Tokyo Tower with their schools. All of a sudden they are blinded by a light and hear a voice calling for the Legendary Magic Knights to save Cephiro. They fall from the sky into another world called Cephiro. The girls meet a guy named Clef who appears to be a Mage.

What is going on?!? This other world......is this a dream??? Why are they calling us the Legendary Magic Knights?



I'm extremely happy that Dark Horse Comics took over for publishing the manga. Tokyopop somehow lost the publishing liscense for Magic Knight Rayearth. I want to buy the volumes.....the manga is soo good! :D

The art is just utterly beautiful! As expected from CLAMP! I love the story! I never get tired of it! Full of action and adventure! Another masterpiece by CLAMP!

Arigatou~!!

Manga Recommendation: Cardcaptor Sakura

Since I haven't done any Manga Recommendations in awhile

(Friend: Those other posts with other stuff you were talking about were not Manga Recommendations??? Me: Mabye......)
So I wanted to do a recommendation on something that was one of the first Popular Magical girl Anime/Manga's ever. This Manga/Anime was the first ever (Other than Sailor Moon) Anime or Manga I've ever watched or read. It is the most amazing thing ever! Since most Magical girls are quite predictable which in this case this is so don't back down from watching this because it looks girly and predictable.
