The sci-fi classic from the creators of xxxHOLiC and Cardcaptor Sakura returns, in a remastered, hardcover edition, featuring the entire CLOVER series. One of CLAMP's most ambitious works -- part AKIRA, part Metropolis -- CLOVER features nearly 500 pages of manga.

Su was born into a bleak future, where the military keeps tight control over the few children born with magical abilities -- known as "Clovers." The Clovers are forcibly tattooed with a symbol that indicates their potential power, and Su is the only four-leaf Clover in the world. Kept locked away in isolation her whole life, Su longs to find happiness in the outside world. An agent named Kazuhiko appears to help grant Su's wish, but he soon realizes that there is more to the mysterious girl than meets the eye...

CLAMP's most daring science-fiction work, CLOVER's art-deco cyberpunk aesthetic is just as fresh and exciting today as it was twenty years ago. Featuring the entire story in a newly-revised translation; remastered art and lettering; a striking cover; and over 20 pages of color art, this is a great collectible for CLAMP fans, and the perfect way to get to know CLOVER for the first time.

About the author

CLAMP CLAMP

CLAMP is a group of four women who have become one of the most popular manga artists in the world - Satsuki Igarashi, Mick Nekoi, Mokona Apapa and Nanase Ohkawa. They started out as doujnishi (fan comics) creators, but their skill and craft brought them to the attention of publishers very quickly. Their first work from a major publisher was RG Veda, but their first mass success was with Magic Knight Rayearth. From there, they went on to write many series, including Cardcaptor Sakura and Chobits, two of the most popular manga in the United States. Like many Japanese manga artists, they prefer to avoid the spotlight, and little is known about them personally.

Praise for CLOVER (Hardcover Collector's Edition)

"Starred Review. This experimental sci-fi work from CLAMP reads like a romantic version of Akira." - Publishers Weekly
"Clover will appeal to Clamp's many fans, and also to anyone who appreciates cyberpunk or striking art." -School Library Journal
"The apotheosis of CLAMP illustrator Mokona Apapa's draftsmanship -- every single page is a revelation of elegance, symmetry, and use of white and black space. ... The cyberpunk style...anticipates The Matrix." - Anime News Network
