This is so funny and whoever is in need of a good laugh read this, you won't be able to stop. My friend who hates manga read this and couldn't stop, she was so sad when she found out there were only three books in the series. Even though manga books are kinda spendy I encourage buying this one it's worth the money. Even though I've ready a ton of times I still laugh all the way through it. Its one of the best mangas I have on my shelf, and I have alot : )

The boys are back in town...... ;P

After volume 1 I did enjoy "Clamp School Detectives", but I wasn't extremely impressed with it. I just thought it was *cute*. However, with volume 2, it develops the characters of Akira and Suoh more, taking the spotlight away from Nokoru, and as much as I love Nokoru, it was nice to see the other characters fleshed out a bit more. :D Even though the boys do look almost exactly the same, they're personalities really set them apart. Nokoru is the woman obsessed-slacker-genius, Suoh is the martial arts pro, goal focused, and serious one, and Akira is the young innocent master chef whom looks up to his Senpai's with adoration. The stories in this one are much better too. Especially the story that involves Suoh's search for a girl he saw in the Wisteria. If you even remotely like volume 1, you will LOVE volume 2.! Its just as much fun, maybe more, and the art work is gorgeous. Its more than a guilty pleasure. God Bless & *Enjoy* ~Amy

A cute, light, and fun read.

This is a manga for those looking for a break from those with heavy subject matter or ones with complicated emotions. This is a manga for those young at heart. :D Anyone with a fun-loving spirit and a non-cynical attitude should love "Clamp School Detectives". I read this manga because my brother purchased it and had me read it. It took me a while to read because I lost it. And at first I didn't think it was anything special, but once I'd finished it I LOVED IT.! And okay, in reality the odds of finding guys like these, let alone 9-11yrs boys is extremely far-fetched. But even with that in mind, its still a lot of fun. Of course I can't say their the HOTTEST bishounen I've seen in a manga. haha They're little boys, so I they're not even close, but they are very handsome. :D The manga follows Nokoru Imonoyama, Suoh Takamura, and Akira Ijuyuin, the three members of the Clamp Elementary School Board. They begin solving crimes and mysteries to help Damsels in Distress. And this manga follows their "mini" cases. I hope that in the 2nd volume(which I will be reading shortly), they will be developed a little more character-wise. :D And that the mysteries will be harder to solve as well.! :) So I *hope* you enjoy it.! God Bless ~Amy

The CLAMP School Detectives

I thought this book was excellent because the pictures are great and there is nothing bad about the book. It was fun to read and the characters are very funny. I like the part when he has to do all the paper work and he complains. I also think that the guy with the blue hair is totally hot.

Clamp creates another beautiful book

I love this series, it's very cute and different. I've read the entire series, and even though there are only 3 books there is still a lot of story. (especially in the third book where you find out how the eldest boys met) I also love how this book overlaps with "man of many faces", which is all about akira-san. I recommend it, its even cuter and funnier than this series. (not that all clamp's works aren't great, lol) I've been told it also overlaps with 'Duklyon High School Defenders" (these series are all based in the Clamp school universe), but i dont own that series!This book is really cheery, one that can easily lighten your mood!
