OH CRAP!
So I guess in all that excitement, I forgot about these 3 whole CLAMP series / books! Whoops.
I was settling into my flight to listen to some @clampcastpod.bsky.social on Clover and saw I still hadn’t listened to the Wish wrap up and well, here we are….

So I’m just realizing as I finish up Clover that I’ve not done a CLAMP update in forever! While it’s highly likely I’m not going to get to the end of their works by the end of the year, I just wanted to give high level thoughts on both so I can move onto Suki in peace!

Read a manga that blew me away right after closing my bookshop, & became disillusioned with publishing & creating.
@mangatakpod.bsky.social & I explore how this book hits so hard.

this is what i mean for the young’uns. they’d chop one manga volume up into western style floppy comic books, read left to right, images sometimes flipped for western format, you could sometimes find fan letter/fan art submissions near the back too
