Manga Review: Clover Omnibus Edition - CLAMP (Paperback)


I've finished reading "Clover Omnibus Edition" by CLAMP.

Product Description


Kazuhiko is a young, but already deeply wounded black ops agent of a baroque, retro-tech future. Kaz is pulled out of retirement to escort Sue, a mysterious waif, to a destination she alone knows. Sue and Kazuhiko have never met, yet she knows him, having grown up since the age of four with her only human contact. Two distant voices: that of her elderly grandma General Ko, and of Kazuhiko's dead girlfriend, Ora. Sue has been kept in that cage all these years because of what she is, and what the Clover Leaf Project found her to be: a military top secret, and the most dangerous person in the world! Clover is a long out-of-print classic from Japan's shojo artist supergroup CLAMP! Never before available in its original Japanese right-to-left reading orientation, Dark Horse not only brings Clover into English for the first time, but also collects all four of the original volumes into one reasonably priced omnibus, with a brand-new cover design especially for this edition!
 
My Review:
 
Wow I was really impressed by this edition of Clover because the pages were thick, white and the color pictures were on glossy pages (if you want to add this manga to your collection I would highly recommend this edition).
 
The 1st and 2nd story is the main plot and the 3rd is the prequel when Kazuhiko first got together with his dead girlfriend Ora.  The 4th is like a sidestory.  It would have been less confusing if the 3rd part was before the 1st and 2nd.
 
4/5
