Summary: Another great story by CLAMP!
Review: I love all the books so far in the X/1999 series! The artwork is great, the story is great, and I can't wait for the next one! If you like X/1999, check out Card Captor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Clover! (also by CLAMP)

Summary: Correct Information
Review: Ok, here is the correct order of the books, atleast to book 6. There is allot of confusion concerning this, so I hope this helps. Book 1 is Prelude, followed by Overture, Sonata, Intermezzo, Serenade, and Duet. The first two that I have read have been wonderful, but the main purpose of this post was to help those confused by the titles.

Summary: X: Greatest CLAMP Manga of all time
Review: X, known as X/1999, is my personal favorite. I've read _all_ ofthem, 1-15 (8-15 have yet to come out in English), and I must say,CLAMP has spoiled me. Their art is exceptional, story lines arecomplex and meaningful, and their characters made to love or hate.
This book is my favorite in english, because it introduces SeishirouSakurazuka, the SAKURAZUKAMORI, a heartless, cold, charming andhandsome assasin who has a secret past and bloodstained hands. ((He'smy favorite X character, along with Fuuma Monou))
I'd recommendthis book to anybody over 14, as there are lots of shonen-aireferences (guy on guy schtuff) and lots and lots of gore. Be preparedto love it or hate it. CLAMP really has a winner here.
((and ifthe story seems to be going slow now, wait until the 8th book..thatswhen it REALLY picks up ^///^))
If you buy this, you REALLY won'tbe wasting your money!...

Summary: Another great story by CLAMP!
Review: X, or as it is called in America, "X/1999", is one of the darkest manga I've seen. This is especially interesting because it is done by the CLAMP team, who have also made such cutesy titles as Card Captor Sakura. Needless to say, fans of that series may want to research X a bit before reading."Duet" continues the macabre apocalyptic story of X, and hightens the feeling of a fast approaching storm. Those who are familiar with Tokyo Babylon will recognize the mention of the Sakurazuka; yet another aspect of the story, which, along with the disturbing imagery of Kamui's visions and the introduction of bizarre genetically manufactured entities by the "bad guys" accelerates the creepiness of the story. If you like conspiracy theories, darkness, and an approaching apocalypse, this is definately the book for you.
