Clover 2
Der Detektiv und ehemalige Geheimdienstmitarbeiter Ryu Fei Kazuhiko bekommt von der Regierung den Auftrag, das Mädchen Sue zu begleiten und zu beschützen. Ihm missfällt der Auftrag zutiefst, zumal er dazu gezwungen wird.
Als die beiden einen Transporter benutzen, um aus dem Land zu fliehen, wird plötzlich der Transport unterbrochen. Sie landen in dem Gebiet der Xiaomao und werden von ihnen gefangengenommen. Sie werden aber wieder freigelassen, nachdem festgestellt wurde, wer sie sind.
Und kurz darauf stehen Ryu und Sue Ryus Erzfeind Barusu gegenüber. Es kommt zu einem erbitterten Kampf zwischen den beiden.

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.

Seems like the plot is starting to sense now, and it's very typically "CLAMP". I don't mind it, just it was a bit rushed and I didn't really have time to get attached enough to the characters to start caring about them. I'm also starting to like the experimental feel of this manga, and as always I'm a fan of the artists. Plus this has a fantasy/biopunk feel to it that I adore. I'm starting to remember why I used to love this manga so much.
On a side note, the white backgrounds of CLAMP's artwork are a bit extreme in this one, I wouldn't mind a bit more context in the scenes. But overall, this is an interesting reading experience and now I'm starting to be sad because it remains unfinished with only 4 volumes.

I came back to Clover months after reading the first volume because I really wasn't sure on how I sat with the manga. Again, this volume seems to be very jumbled and the plot is rather jumpy, with some scenes that seem to have appeared from nowhere.
However, this volume was very emotional, and it gave backstory to so many things and it really hooked me in; I think I just read it in 10 or 15 minutes. It's a good volume, a good continuation to the story, but, as I've said, it's still quite jumbled.
I'm still unsure of how I stand on this manga and the series; I definitely don't think it's one of CLAMP's best works, but it still stands on it's own as a good series. It's not amazing, however, like I expected after reading Tokyo Babylon, Vol. 1, but I might finish the series and see how it goes.

Hermoso y muy triste. Ahora sí conocemos la historia llena de soledad de Suu, y se explica también por qué se eligió a Kazuhiko para que la lleve a donde ella necesita ir.
Creo que al fin entendí cómo es la magia de los Clover. Lo que no me queda claro es , ni para qué lado van a ir los dos volúmenes que siguen.

En este tomo la historia avanza, se dan respuesta a varios cabos sueltos que dejaron en el primero y las autoras logran que nos encariñemos con la protagonista. A su vez, explican qué son los tréboles de 3 y 4 hojas y como se aprovechan de su poder.
Clamp hace un trabajo excelente para transmitirnos la soledad y ansias de libertad de la protagonista, por medio de la canción que se viene repitiendo en múltiples escenas desde el primer tomo. En este se descubre el porqué del nombre del manga, y debo decir que me gustó un montón!
Esta es una reseña sin spoilers así que no puedo decir mucho más pero el plot twist y el triángulo de personajes que se plantea me sorprendió e hizo que leyera el tomo en una sentada. Ahora mismo voy a agarrar el siguiente!

Bueno este segundo libro esta hermosamente dibujado y la historia es super triste.
Nos explica SUU del por que de su soledad, y de como conoce a la novia de Kazuhiko. Como también sobre el por que pide al consejo de los ancianos para que la lleven al parque de diversiones con él.
Nos enteramos un poco mas sobre la historia de los Clover de Cuatro, Tres hojas y comprendemos por que son tan codiciados. En este manga se cierran muchas preguntas de la trama principal. Pero lo que mas me gusta es que comenzamos a entender el porque de la letra de la canción que canta a lo largo de todo el manga. Clamp se encanga de que nos encariñemos sus personajes y sintamos su dolor.
100% recomendado.

So as the second one starts out, I'm about to understand a lot of the confusion I experienced while reading the first one. The woman that Sue had flashbacks of is Ora, Kazuhikos old lover. And the reason so many people are after Sue, is because she's from a government experiment of sorcerer children called the Clovers. She's the only one of her kind and the strongest one.
I found the twist of the whole journey being so that Sue could die was a major poetic irony and the fairy park was just beautiful.

Gorgeous art, but repetitive song lyrics and confusingly attributed thought bubbles continue.

"Ich möchte glücklich sein
Ich möchte glücklich sein
Ich möchte mit dir glücklich sein,
ich möchte dein Glück sein.
Deswegen nimm mich mit
an einen anderen Ort.
Nimm mich mit,
ein Vogel in seinem Käfig
Vogel, der nicht fliegen kann,
Vogel, der nicht weinen kann,
einsamer Vogel.
Deswegen nimm mich mit,
ich möchte glücklich sein.
Wenn ich nur bei dir sein kann, bin ich glücklich,
wenn du nur lächelst, bin ich glücklich.
Deswegen nimm mich mit
an einen anderen Ort.
Nimm mich mit,
ich möchte glücklich sein
mein erster Gedanke
und mein letzter Wunsch,
hier wartet eine Elfe
am versprochenen Ort, nur für uns beide.
Deswegen nimm mich mit
um die Wirklichkeit zu vergessen,
um in der Fantasie zu leben,
um für immer an dich denken zu können
nimm mich mit.
Ich möchte glücklich sein."

Zum Inhalt:
Ryo F. Kazuhiko ist ein Soldat, der zu einer Eliteeinheit gehört, die dem hohen Rat der Hexenmeister untergeordnet ist. Sein Befehl lautet, ein geheimnisvolles Mädchen namens Sue an einen seltsamen Ort zu bringen. Auf dem Weg zum "Märchenpark" geraten Kazuhiko und Sue in einen Hinterhalt der Azulights, einer fremden Macht, die vor keiner Grausamkeit zurückschreckt. Nur sein Freund und Kommandeur Gingetsu kann den beiden jetzt noch helfen...
Kazuhiko und Sue befinden sich noch immer auf der Flucht vor ihren Angreifern. Dabei muss Kazuhiko feststellen, dass Sue ungeahnte Kräfte besitzt, auf die Nachfrage, warum das so ist, erzählt ihm das Mädchen, dass sie ein vierblättriges Kleeblatt ist. Ein Kind mit besonderen magischen Fähigkeiten, welches von der Regierung und seinen Hexenmeistern gefürchtet wird, denn sie ist die einzige ihrer Art. Einst suchte die Regierung nach solchen Kindern, um Tests mit ihnen durchzuführen. Es gab ein-, zwei-, drei- und vierblättrige Kleeblätter, wobei Sue das Kind war, welches sofort isoliert wurde.
Auf ihrer Flucht erfährt Kazuhiko außerdem, dass Sue seine verstorbene Geliebte kannte und mit ihr gemeinsam ein Lied geschrieben hat. Durch die Erzählungen von Oruha hat sich Sue in Kazuhiko verliebt.
As die beiden den Märchenpark endlich erreichen, kommt es zu einem finalen Showdown.
Mit der Manga-Reihe "Clover" hat das Autorenquartett CLAMP wieder einmal ein optisches Meisterwerk geschaffen. In diesem Manga wird gezielt auf Hintergrunddetails verzichtet, dafür aber an den Figuren und ihren Gesichtern sowie Outfits nicht gespart. Durch sparsam eingesetzte Dialoge erfährt der Leser nur das Nötigste, kommt aber trotzdem sehr gut mit der Geschichte hinterher. Es bleiben keine Fragen offen.
Die Zeichnungen und die Welt, die CLAMP hier geschaffen hat ist durch Technik geprägt. Es mutet ein bisschen nach Steampunk an, ist aber sehr futuristisch gehalten. Maschinen und Menschen leben sehr nach beieinander. Natürliche Lebewesen sind kaum noch vorhanden oder sehr selten geworden, so zum Beispiel Katzen, welche hier auch einen kurzen Gastauftritt haben. Außerdem können die Menschen durch Modifikationen fliegen oder Waffen herbei rufen.
Empfehlen möchte ich die Reihe allen Fans des Autorenquartett CLAMP. Wer andere Reihen mochte, der wird auch diese Reihe lieben. Bis jetzt gibt es vier Bände, wobei die Hauptstory ab dem zweiten Band bereits endet.
Von mir gibt es jedenfalls 5 von 5 Sternen, weil ich ein absoluter Fan der Reihe bin.

Review for volumes 1-4
In what is known as the Clover Project, the government is rounding up children that appear to have magical powers. Whether they are a one, two or three-leaved clover depends on their magical potential - but it's four-leaved clovers they are truly worried about. Sū is the only known four-leaved clover and has been locked away from the rest of the world, never to meet anyone. Finally, her wish is granted when former military agent Kazuhiko is assigned to escort her to the place she believes will bring her happiness.
The biggest issue with Clover is that it is incomplete. Although it seems widely believed that it is complete in four volumes, it was planned to have a total of six of which the final two would wrap up the story. So, as an incomplete work, it sadly leaves the reader with more questions than answers. As it currently stands, it's only real appeal is the artwork.
I really enjoyed Sū as a character - she has a beautiful design and I generally like the way she was drawn. She definitely has that naiveté about her that I would expect from someone who grew up without contact with other people. It's nice to see how she is exploring herself as a person and developing a sense for the emotions inside her. Kazuhiko, I'm afraid, was a pretty boring character to me - I cared a lot more about some of the supporting characters such as the three-leaved clover Ran.
In terms of narration, this is definitely a more unique manga. It uses interesting panel layouts, often leaving large blank spaces. There are a couple of songs that are relevant to the story of which the lyrics are constantly repeated on the pages. On one hand, it gave this series a poetical and melancholic tone - on the other hand, it became very repetitive and I found myself skimming the lyrics.
As far as the story goes, this could have either been magnificent or your average snore-fest - for that to be determined, one would really need to know the ending. Many things were left vague and there is no conclusion to any aspect of the story. The little that is known is that it is set in some kind of dystopian world and the magic the clover children posses is in direct relation to electronic devices - it struck me more like psychic powers than actual magic.
Where was this story headed? Would there have been a happy ending? What was the government's goal? What exactly are these clover children? There's a near-infinite list of questions, and I'm sorry to say that we are likely to never find an answer as I don't see CLAMP returning to complete this work. That being said, if they were to return to unfinished works, there are other works I would prefer them to complete first.

Kazuhiko and Sue continued their journey to Fairy Park, reaching its tragic climax. Or is tragic for Sue? According to her, she found her happiness. Only Kazuhiko has to live with her decision.
With Bols in pursuit of the pair, Gingetsu follows after, determined to stop the Azaiaean army from getting their hands on Sue…or Bols gets his hands on Kazuhiko. Sue tells Kazuhiko her whole story, what lead to this journey to Fairy Park, and why she made the choices she did.
There are many definitions of happiness, according to another CLAMP character. This story illustrates this, especially when the character is trapped in a society that fears her and tries to possess her. She snatches for whatever scraps of joy she can get, no matter what the cost. Not even her captors, the ones who kept Sue in a cage and forced her to make the choices she did, are untouched by her feelings. One of them risked her power and position to give Sue her moment of joy. In the end, I got the impression Kazuhiko was the one who was truly sacrificed even if he lived to tell the tale. Or perhaps one should say sing the song?
Once more, the story is intertwined with a song, as much poem as it is prose. The story behind the song is revealed, along with who sang it. For telling a beautiful, if mournful tale with exquisite simplicity, I give this five stars.

I love CLAMP as much as the next person acquainted with their work, but this manga is a disaster. The art is beautiful, although not at par with the usual CLAMP standard. The story, however, is a catastrophe spread across multiple volumes. Honestly, it seems that it was fished out of CLAMP's waste bin. Perhaps they wanted to just blow off steam between creating chapters for a quality tale and just made up Clover as a rough experiment of near nonsense. But my attachment to CLAMP's work will ensure I finish the series anyway, even if I pull my hair out in the process.
P.S. I can't believe no one in the comments section highlighted the absolute horror that is the romantic relationship between Sue and Kazuhiko. Sue is a literal child! Like an actual child! CHILD! And Kazuhiko is what? Definitely knee-deep in adulthood? Perhaps on the shadier side of 40? A grown man, an adult. ADULT. How is this okay? What is wrong with you, CLAMP? This better gets resolved in the next volumes; this romance better ends. If not, I will end the last chapter with a completely bald head.

While this volume had at least some plot development, it was still a mess. The plot still has barely any cohesion to it. I thought this was the final volume with the way the last chapter ended, but apparently, there are two more volumes? The art style is normal for 90s CLAMP, but I noticed a weird lack of backgrounds. It's a lot of just text and randomly placed illustrations for this one. Also, they have repeated the song so many times that I'm sick of it. This series felt like CLAMP just threw some story elements and design ideas into a blender and made Clover from the resulting mess. Also, what is up with the relationship between Sue and Kazuhiko? I thought it was meant to be read as Sue having an innocent crush on Kazuhiko, but no? Apparently it's supposed to be read as a romantic relationship, with Kazuhiko reciprocating? Isn't Sue a literal child?! I knew 90s manga could be wild, but my God.

Such a beautiful, but sad ending to the sage of Sue, a child who lived their whole life trapped in a cage because those in authority knew she was born with the power to destroy them and rebuild the world to her liking... A tragic ending to a sad tale, but also the wrapping up of the questions laid out in the first book~
Now while you might think this is over... you're just in time for my personal favorite entry in the collection, volume 3~

Second verse, same as the first. I am not having a good time.
I got kind of excited when the statue fell, because it gives me hope that we won't have to hear that song ever again.
Honestly, I made a bingo card out of CLAMP writing gimmicks, and it's beginning to worry me how many we're ticking off here.

Stupendo! Una delle opere migliori delle CLAMP, a mio avviso.
Un vero peccato che non sia stata ristampata.

I like the story, this volume is better than the first one because you know more about Suu. I’m interested in the story so I want to know what’s next. I’ll keep reading. ^_^

Está parte me encantó, es difícil digerir que tan rápido haya terminado la misión de Kazuhiko de una forma muy inesperada.

The art is stunning and the overall story is intriguing, but the repetitive use of the song really starts to get old after awhile.

Si me dicen que este es el volumen uno me lo creo. ¿Qué sentido tiene contar esta historia después? ¿Por qué no invirtieron más tiempo en la trama principal?
Esta serie ha sido una decepción.
