While reading a book of X/1999, I had a pretty big CLAMP fangirl moment. I'm such a dork xD

Okay I missed the last update apparently due to a large amount of updates from other manga clogging up my alert list, but I just read it Yx4. And while I understood it somewhat, I was also laughing virtually the entire way.
"Bring me back to the original world! On second thought the game world was better. Put me back in the game world!"
"Let's save every boy who has a gap in his heart using love!" "Like hell I'd do that! I hate this setting!"

It might be just me, but i loved the harem marriage setting he got. The yaoi one made me laugh so hard.

No it's not just you. At first the competition between the goddess' hosts was actually believable considering how the goddesses fought over him. But yeah, I still love this series.
Sierra - Can't say that I've read that so I really can't say.

It's a really good manga. It's based in 1999 and is loosely connecting to the Y2K speculation. It's very thought provoking and has a meaningful story. It has a beautiful art style...and lots and lots of violence xD The only problem is that the series was never completed. Somehow the chapters were becoming too gruesome for the magazine publishers' taste (I'm still trying to figure that one out. Second book in you see a person ripped to shreds >_>) and so it was canceled. CLAMP, the creators, never got around to finishing the series. There are 18 or 19 books, I'm not sure which.

Wow, didn't think CLAMP would make a series like that considering their usual ones. But I'll have to take a look at it sometime down the road.

What have you read from CLAMP? Some of their work actually fits right in with X/1999. Even Tsubasa, even though the first half is deceptively innocent. If you're going to read the manga, I suggest you check out CLAMP School Detectives and Tokyo Babylon first. Some key plot points make more sense, and you have a greater appreciation for X if you do.

Sierra - From what I know for sure was CLAMP all I've read is Cardcaptor Sakura. I might have read one or two others but that's the big one. And even if its shoujo I do like their work overall so I'll keep that in mind.
Yx4 - I haven't yet but I have heard some good things about it.

@lucifer: lol That explains why X/1999 seems so unCLAMP-like to you. X and CCS are about as polar opposite as you can get xD They are really amazing mangaka, so I'm glad you'll keep their works in mind. You've seen a few of their anime, so I'm sure there are no worries about you liking their books as well.

Sierra - Well I'll probably forever associate CLAMP to CCS and Tsubasa so that'll be hard to see much else from them as an overall picture. And don't worry, I know their talent, that's not a problem.
Yx4 - Well they're transitioning between seasons so there'll be a lapse in action obviously. Though now that the initial problem of sealing the weis is over they need to come up with something that can hold the rest of the series, so this'll be the hard part for the writers. So far it seems to be going well so we'll just have to see how it all goes.
