Classic Fantasy

Wow, I really enjoyed this! I didn't have much exposure to CLAMP or their works before starting this with a book club, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was a fun, beautifully-drawn tale of three girls carried off to another world, summoned as mythical warriors in order to defeat evil and bring peace back to the land. The premise is a classic one, and I'm happy to say that, at least for me, the characters' colorful personalities and the classic shoujo art style merge together great with the story, leading to a fun, adventurous read.

The girls have a great dynamic with each other, and the side characters, though they might only (so far) be around for a chapter or so, have great chemistry with the girls and a lot of personality in general. The art is really expressive with this, which helps a bunch as well.

This is a pretty easy manga to read; the most difficulty a reader will likely bump into is the series' fondness for made-up fantasy vocab, often combining kanji for a particular meaning and assigning unrelated katakana for pronunciation.
