I’m not sure about this one yet. But I know how CLAMP tells their stories, so I’ll save full thoughts for the end. I like the characters well enough, but I haven’t quite gotten entranced by the story yet.

I am still so confused by this book but I was intrigued and had a good time.

This is supposed to be a retelling of Rig Veda, a collection of Indian hymns.

At first I was super bored because I couldnt figure out what was going on. But pretty much a child has been kept in stasis/prison for 300 years and he is going to bring about the sundering of heaven. The king of the gods, Taishakuten, usurped the throne and hes kinda a dick. He proceeds to wipe out whole clans that do not follow his rule.

Overall I cant wait to read the other two to finish up the series!

I've been a big fan of CLAMP for a very long time, and reading this for the first time is so interesting. I love seeing how CLAMP explores what they wanted to do with their narrative style, themes, etc. in their very first official manga! This first volume is a bit slow but definitely fun if you're already a fan of their work.
