A tale of good and evil, light and darkness, innocence and corruption, Tokyo Babylon is a powerful drama.Subaru Sumeragi is a deeply compassionate sixteen year old medium/exorcist who uses his gift to aid lost spirits and the possessed. After a hard day or nights work, he comes home to his devoted, vivacious twin sister Hokuto, whose favorite hobby seems to be trying to hook Subaru up with their friend Seishirou - a veterinarian nine years their senior - in spite of reservations due to the fact that he belongs to a family with a reputation of being in the assassination business that they both choose to ignore.The interaction between the three reaches its climax in the final volume, with hints throughout the series about how things might ultimately turn out, but Subarus interaction with the people he tries to help is interesting in itself. The series handles such topics as gang rape, child abuse, treatment of the elderly, and the ethics of organ transplantation - pretty heavy subject matter.Subaru himself is a highly unique hero.

  • The Fantastic World of X/1999
    The Fantastic World of X/1999 Written by Stephanie Lau With the end of the century coming it is no wonder that the entertainment industry would take advantage of this opportunity to play with our minds. Though the apocalypse theme is an interesting one to play around, it can be worn out like any other. So why is CLAMP's apocalyptic X one of the most popular running mangas out there? What intrigued Animerica to translate and run it in their magazine (titled X/1999 in the US)? Of course, the fact that X feeds readers' lust for angst, destiny and doomed love is a strong reason, but also, it makes us, the readers, think, "What if some of this is really going to happen? How much of this might actually come true?" The art of X is enough to make readers stop and look through one of the tankoubans. The art quality and layout of X is what fans have come to expect from CLAMP. Although the art may draw readers in, the plot will keep them there to stay until the final battle, and maybe more. To make this idea interesting many of the characters aren't just "ordinary" people with super powers, but in addition, have roots in the underground occult world of Japan. The unexpected twists in the plot is masterly crafted by the queens of the strange, beautiful and downright weird (Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland? Mokona from MKR?). However, like most shoujo manga, it takes a few tankoubans to get to the action of the plot.
