Clamp's "Tokyo Babylon Vol. 1+2" (manga), #10, #11
Vol.1: Even knowing how this manga series ends - I mean, this is one of the most famous stories in the history of manga, after all - it's strangely alluring. Subaru Sumeragi and Seishiro Sakurazuka, the healer and the killer... Hokuto, Subaru's twin, kinda gets on my nerves though. But the juxtaposition of Seishiro - the good-hearted vet vs. the cold-blooded Sakurazukamori... Wow. Clamp really knows how to push boundaries.
My favorite drawing? Seishiro standing by the window with the shikigami, the shadow bird, sitting on his outstretched arm.
Vol.2: It's really creepy, the way Seishiro can be so kind and caring, then as if a switch was flipped, he's suddenly heartless, cruel, even devious. I wonder if he really doesn't feel anything for Subaru, nothing at all...
I'm also happy that it's a series that the mangaka actually finished!
