What series would you say is most evocative of classic CLAMP? I recently bought their manga The One I Love and found it a little old-fashioned and lacking focus. Perhaps Rayearth?

Re: 38

For me, Tokyo Babylon resonated in my heart the most because of its dark and brooding themes of decline in society (prostitution, lack of humanity, religious imperialism). Also, I think that Man of Many Faces did a very good job in terms of themes of love without going to sugary/rainbows like CCS. I didn't really like Rayearth that much, and therefore didn't read much, so I missed any profound meanings.

CLOVER was very profound as well, but that manga didn't attach well with me.

And you?

I haven't read or watched anything enough to be super sure... I know the most about Rayearth and can infer from it the humor and the elegant character designs that CLAMP is sort of famous for.

Re: 38

Yeah, Rayearth is a really good example of classic CLAMP- it shows off the sense of humor that CLAMP used to have- cute, sweet, and based on puns and such. But now, it seems more snarky than cute.

It may be telling that I haven't been able to finish anything other than The One That I Love, and that because it was so short that none of the stories ever take off.
