Clover by CLAMP

genre: Manga, fiction

In a dystopian steampunk world, a special package must be delivered and the ex-government operator that is assigned to make the delivery is anything but thrilled. He soon learns that Sue, the “package," has lived her life in seclusion because of one critical secret. Within the wild chaos of this Manga world, Sue and Kazuhiko are pawns in a society where a Clover is so much more than a tiny green plant.

I read this for a book challenge and I will be honest: I didn't understand what was happening 70% of the time. I figured out the right to left thing quickly and soon there were a few key characters I could remember but so much of the rest of it felt repetitive and almost nonsensical, as least for a newbie. There were so many panels that just repeated song lyrics over and over (and over) and I think I just completely missed something. The first three “books” had a plot that at least made some vague kind of linear sense but the fourth complete threw me.  Like I wasn't even reading the same story, practically.   Ah well. I’m chalking it up to my own ignorance. Look, I read some Manga :)
