X/1999
rating -- 10
 |
X/1999 is yet another excellent
story by the wonderful artists of Clamp. There are
currently 14 volumes of the manga out, as well as a movie
and TV series. Even if you've seen the movie, the
manga will hold many surprises since the two are
completely different besides the main plot. I have
to admit that the story has been lagging a little lately,
but it can easily pick up the pace again. There will
probably be 22 volumes since Clamp is following the tarro
deck, and there are 22 major cards. The Clamp people don't like their work displayed on the Internet, so the pics on this page and others are my fanarts. |

| The plot is basically
about the destiny of two friends, Kamui and Fuuma, who
are forced to fight each other to determine the fate of
Earth. Kotori, Fuuma's sister and Kamui's romantic
interest, is caught by the fate between the two most
important people in her life. There are the Dragons of
Earth who wish Humanity to be eliminated so the Earth may
heal itself and live without the distructive human race.
Opposing them are the Dragons of Heaven who believe in
the goodness of people, and wish to save the human race.
Kamui must decide which force to fight with, but he
doesn't realize how much that decision will affect his
life. The Dragons of Earth and Heaven each have six members (not including 'Kamui'). Just as each has their own ability, every person has a unique reason to fight on the side they have chosen. One was punished for having a dangerous talent, one had a friend no one could understand, one has vague memories of happy times, and so on. From Tokyo Babylon, Sumeragi Subaru and Seichirou end their 'bet'. And just like Tokyo Babylon, this is a severly depressing manga series (but it's too darn good as well!). |
