I kinda want to read this one, so maybe I should take this chance.

The reader itself is a little awkward, since the pages are definitely backward from the way a usual manga is done, but ignoring that...

Dark Horse's translation is pretty good. Definitely looking forward to getting the series even more so now. ^^

You read my mind, mate. Hated how this player was set up, but regardless, the translation itself was quite good. And from the recent ANN review - which was positive, by and large - I'm definitely going to check this out. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a super long, ridiculously confusing series. Tsubasa and xxxHolic were/are enough for me, thanks. I'm holding on by the skin of my teeth, so anymore like them and I think I'll start frying precious brain cells.

I like what I see so far with volume 1! A new CLAMP title is always excting and I can't wait for volume 2 now!

CLAMP used to be my favorite artist group. But so many of their stories have just gotten so convoluted and have run way too long. The character designs look about like what you'd expect from them. High quality art, but practically the same exact designs from other their other titles. Willing to check it out, but not really hoping for anything amazing.

This. I'm rereading Cardcaptor Sakura and remembering how much better CLAMP used to be.

Yea, really not loving the pages being reversed. Made it a whole lot harder to tell whether or not they were flopped too (I think the answer was: some.)
