Cute Book

Very nice book and the last one of the series. It made a great gift for my girlfriend who is not very big into manga. Very hard to come by and at a decent price.

Good Ending to a Great Series

This is the series that made me enjoy Manga for the first time. The first DVD was XXXHolic. I didn't know before reading this series that manga could be that sophisticated. Although the ending wasn't as good as the beginning, it was still good. I've started to really love Clamp and have gone on to many series. Most of my students are Japanese, Korean, or Chinese so it was almost a requirement for me to learn more about it and I have.

Not what I expected, but then again, it was.

I admit, I wanted a different ending than what CLAMP gave, but if they had done it the way I, and probably others had wanted it, the story would not have been CLAMP's. CLAMP continually surprises me with its wonderfully artistic endings that I never expect. Suki ended well in my opinion. It answered all the questions asked in the previous two volumes. While I still had issues with Hina's friend Emi, I suppose it did indeed end the way it was intended to end by CLAMP, I was happy with Hina and Asou-sensei. He finally smiles and it is because of Hina, so in my opinion, this was the best ending they could have done. Buy this series, it's wonderfully cute, and is one of the sweetest stories CLAMP has ever created.

Another wonderful Clamp series comes to a close

I won't say much other than that is a wonderful ending to a wonderful series. It delivers exactly what we readers want in perfect Clamp style and leaves us wondering what will happen after we close the book. It's not quite like other Clamp endings, but I suppose it's similiar. I highly advise checking it out for yourself! You won't be dissappointed!

We know a lot now...

After volume One and Two we now know that Hinata Asahi, because of her rich father, has been kidnapped many times. We know that she has somehow stayed happy, even after she decided that living alone was better. She didn't want anybody else getting hurt if somebody kidnapped her again. And by the third volume you SHOULD know why Shiro Asou is there. But can you guess who is going to be her next kidnapper? Will Shiro be able to protect her and will Hinata WANT his protection when he could hurt? And what happens when SHE figures out that he's just doing a job for her father? If she loves him because he does everything she loves, what happens when she understands that he did it to get close to her, to better protect her?And can he love her back?
