For the on unfamiliar with 'Soryuuden', here is a little description:
Soryuden is an action novel written by Yoshiki Tanaka, who is also the author of the popular Sci-Fic story "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". CLAMP has been invited to draw illustrations for the pocket-size reprint of the novel since 1993, but Soryuden itself has started 6 years earlier and has been featured in a Japanese anime (under the title "The Legend of the Four Kings"). The story tells about the four brothers in the modern world who possess supernatural power that can allow them to transform into mighty dragons. They are believed to be the descendants of the Dragon's family in ancient China and the reincarnation of the mythical dragon brothers who guard the heavenly realms. Though they have invincible strength and bodies, they are content to live a normal life until evil enemies started to attack them. The fight becomes a war between the four brothers from Japan (the Dragons) versus the "Four Sisters" from the USA (the Bulls). The four brothers have to fend off the ambitious foes--the Bull's descendants who are trying to control the world through their grasp in the economy and technology--while they search for their roots and purpose of becoming the real dragons in the modern society. To escape for both their freedom and their lives, the characters have travelled all over the world, including China, America, Europe and even the Moon (well, that's the heaven where the dragons came from). It is a humorous but yet satirical story, covering a vast material in ancient Chinese history and modern-day technology, especially ammunitions and weapons. It is a story for heroic romance lovers, but CLAMP's illustrations have also helped to embroider the wonderful make-up of the four brothers to make them even more the charming and welcoming for all ages.
