The world-building and overall aesthetics of this world are very nice. I enjoy the blend of steampunk and cyberpunk aesthetics. The story, however, is sorely lacking. It has that same weird floaty dream state feeling like many CLAMP manga does, but this series has it the most. It's so dream-like, it's barely understandable. I understand the bare bones of it, "Guy has to get a girl to a place as part of his job" but beyond that, it's pretty ambiguous. Since there is pretty much no cohesion in the plot, the story is a bit boring. Stuff happens, but you don't care, because nothing makes sense.… (mehr)
Che storia intensa, che disegni favolosi! Le CLAMP sono geniali, questo è uno dei loro fumetti più belli. Ho letto questo manga fino a sgualcirlo, ho copiato molteplici disegni, ma tuttora non mi sento soddisfatta. L'uso sapiente del bianco e nero, le molte pagine del tutto nere o bianche, i disegni armoniosi e quelli dagli schemi complessi, tutto ha un significato, percepibile più intensamente con la seconda, la terza, l'ennesima rilettura. E la storia, così particolare persino nell'ordine dei 4 fumetti, crea, con tavole splendide e dialoghi scarni, quasi all'osso, un'atmosfera futuristica e senza tempo, spietata e romantica, come spietata è la storia stessa di ciascun personaggio, ciascuno con il proprio dolore e la propria esperienza, ciascuno disposto a sacrificare quasi se stesso per un desiderio nascosto. Clover, con le sue poesie e la sua struggente tristezza, mi rimarrà sempre nel cuore, perchè, come Su, preferirei vivere un solo unico giorno di felicità che un'intera vita dentro una gabbia dorata.… (mehr)
I put this one down fairly quickly. The premise was intriguing, but it was so disjointed and difficult to follow at the beginning that I just decided not to bother. Too bad.
