| Summary |
The sci-fi classic from the creators of xxxHOLiC and Cardcaptor Sakura returns, in a remastered, hardcover edition, featuring the entire CLOVER series. One of CLAMP's most ambitious works -- part AKIRA, part Metropolis -- CLOVER features over 500 pages of manga between beautifully-embossed covers. Sue was born into a bleak future, where the military keeps tight control over the few children born with psychic abilities -- known as "clovers." The clovers are forcibly tattooed with a symbol that indicates their potential power, and Sue is the only four-leaf clover in the world. Kept locked away in isolation her whole life, Sue longs to escape and get a taste of normal life. A voice in her mind guides her to the answer- an agent named Kazuhiko. Neither of them realise it, but Sue and Kazuhiko share a bond that spans decades...CLAMP's most daring science-fiction work, CLOVER's art-deco cyberpunk aesthetic is just as fresh and exciting today as it was twenty years ago. Featuring the entire story in a newly-revised translation; remastered art and lettering; and a striking, embossed cover, this is a great collectible for CLAMP fans, and the perfect way to get to know CLOVER for the first time. |
