X (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 6
X, the epic series from CLAMP, is now available in this deluxe collector’s edition. The pages have been recomposed in the original right-to-left reading order and restored to the highest quality. Each volume contains three of the original graphic novels, along with gorgeous, full-color illustrations never before published outside Japan! Subaru and Seishiro face off in a desperate battle on the Rainbow Bridge, as the years of twisted love and bitterness between them lead at last to their inevitable, heart-rending culmination. In the tragic aftermath, with their kekkai failing and their Dreamseer’s predictions foiled, the Seven Seals split up and roam Tokyo in an attempt to halt the destruction engulfing the city. But time is running out. The time of the final battle between the Dragons of Heaven and the Dragons of Earth is drawing near…

CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Currently, there are four members in the group.
In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well.
In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. They were well received at the convention, with 6,000 fans in attendance at their panel.

...I cried. A lot. TEARS. I can't...explain how much it still hit me all these years later. I know this. I knew this. I was looking forward to this.
But it guts me. It GUTS me. I feel like I was punched in the chest.
The sucky part of X/1999 is the lack of closure. This volume ends on the eve of the final three volumes, which I doubt we'll get. So, I'm left to imagine a satisfying ending. It's hard to find what would have happened, though there are hints. Especially in, I believe, Tsubasa. It's unsatisfying, but honestly, I'm so happy to have relived this series. It was a great, if alot of crying type of time.

Reread of nostalgia finishes. Such beautiful dramatic angst. Such a horrible unfinished aching spot of history.

Here is where the stakes get high, the action kicks into high gear, and major characters start dying. This volume is epic, action packed, and gorgeously illustrated as always. The resolution of Subaru and Seishirou's arc is absolutely heartbreaking, even for me when I knew it was coming!
CLAMP are just the masters of grand, dark manga epics. This story hasn't lost any of its punch in the seven years since I first read it. I am a fan of many different manga series, but X just has this special *something* that holds it above as an all time favorite. ^_^

So glad I've finally read X having wanted to for a decade. It's a shame it was only 3 volumes away from completion but even without the ending the characters are all brilliantly realised (as per usual with clamp) the story is epic and executed so well. But the art is the stand out it's so detailed, graphic but beautiful.
Now that I finally know all the characters it's time to re read Tsubasa Tokyo revelations once again to see all these characters and understand it that much more.

I can't begin to explain how traumatized I am by this story - and it doesn't even have an ending. thanks, CLAMP.

Review for X/1999 as a whole (incomplete) series>
First 6 volumes were messy, regurgitative, and a bit cringe-worthy. Usually, Clamp utilizes that time to familiarize readers with their characters, but in X it didn't feel like I warmed up to the characters until volume 8 or 9.
At the end of the day, 75% of my love for X is simply a branch of my adoration for Tokyo Babylon <3, but I do see the qualities that led critics to regard it as Clamp's magnum opus. The art style is simply *chef's kiss*.

Welcome to the last volume of X! Except it's totally not the last volume of X because the story ends on a cliffhanger, but it's been over a decade since readers got to see what happened next... One of the worst hiatuses of all time. I really do want to see where Clamp's bizarre philosophy was heading... Possibly more splash pages?

Beautiful art, amazing story. I hope CLAMP finishes telling it.

4.25 stars!
So umm...is this the end? Because that ended on a HUGE cliff hanger. From what I've read, there may be a couple more volumes out there but we'll see. Maybe I'll just have to get a conclusion from the anime. But this one was leading up to an epic finale. I really do hope there is more.

Very human. I wish CLAMP would publish an ending soon.

I still don't know what's going and it end in "to be continued" ... All the faces look the same, zero investement in the "story" . Art is great beautufull building and background .

i still can't believe this is the cliffhanger clamp chose to leave us on. i'm not even gonna read 18.5 bc thats even worse than this

this manga is really into people expressing their love in awful messed up ways. most of them don't really do much for me though -- i think kanoe's desire to free hinoto from dreamseeing works, i want more on their relationship -- but fuuma doesn't because it requires the personality transplant and subaru and seishiro make sense but are too unequal to appeal to me
on another note i was really loving karen this volume. such a compassionate sweetheart, i'm so glad clamp didn't off her. fuuma can still walk off a cliff though :)
anyways this marks the end of what clamp published of x. it's too bad, i would've liked to see where they were all ultimately headed with this. 3 stars

I read a preview of this from VIZ on Edelweiss, in exchange for a review. It was one volume in length instead of 3 volumes, so I assume it was Vol.16, the first volume of this omnibus.
This was a quick read, very action-packed, and I didn't really carry much away from it. Except that I noticed Inuki came back. But, as usual CLAMP's art was magnificent, leaving you wanting more.
