Tokyo Babylon

This manga is old but it CANNOT be forgotten! It's a classic! Whenever I read back into this manga it always breaks my heart, especially at the very end. I knew X before TB so I knew what happens while reading TB, though there were many surprises.

My favorite characters are Subaru (one of the best characters ever to be created), Hokuto and some times Seishrou.

Spoiler:

Also, I love Hokuto's outfits, I've been thinking of being Hokuto for an anime convention once but I didn't know where to get her outfits. I know you could make the outfits but I'm horrible at making clothing, I was the last to finish a short pair of pants in my sewing class at school.

Almost everyone who has read TB is a Sei x Sub fan, I can't say that I don't like it, but I can't say that I like it. It's weird...I'm like in the middle....I like to write about their twisted relationship and there are a lot of really good fics and AMVs about them...it's like the only pairing that I have to ponder if I really like it or not....

Okay, I'll stop rambling and let you guys discuss, lol :P

Tokyo Babylon Rocks!!! It's one of the best manga I have ever read!:D Subaru is so cuute! I found the artwork beautiful and compelling. The words, also, were perfectly placed and timed to be poignant with the art. This series is very good if you give it a chance. The beginning might seem unoriginal with common themes of the complexities of humanity and whatnot, but these issues are eventually fixed as the series progresses.

I absolutely loved this manga. It was the first time I'd read anything by Clamp, and I can't say that I was disappointed! From start to finish, this is an amazing and gripping manga. CLAMP does an amazing job with the illustrations, every character and scene thoroughly CLAMP. The story and characters are amazingly complex and human, making this very worth reading.Tokyo Babylon is a manga any fan of either angst or the supernatural should have in their collection. I highly recommend this series!

If you are a major Subaru and Tokyo Babylon fangirl, raise your hand (Raises both hands and also feet.)

I think that Tokyo Babylon should have been longer, 'cause it was sooooo short for such a great series!!! I mean, in no part has there been a time where you want to fall aslepp or you want to skip it!! OH, and Subaru is so ,well, ........ But Tokyo Babylon is just so true, and that bullying part in vol. 4, I just had to think if one of the CLAMP girls had been through that themselves.

And I think that what Hokuto said about Subaru is amazingly true: "If anyone he really cares about betrays him.... Subaru's heart will shatter and he will surely die" and "I always thought that Subaru would never survive in this world... he's to pure." And all the other stuff.

And the artwork is wonderful, plus the quots are so DEEP you know??!! But when Subaru said that he loved Seishiro I just thought in my ming: typical CLAMP, because I knew everything was about to be settled.

But if Tokyo Babylon was given some more volumes, I would want to jump over the moon because this is one of the best mangas EVER!!!

*jumps up in the air, waving arms like crazy and kicking feet around till they hit the computer and it explodes.* Yeah, TB is definity one of the best mangas that I ever read, the artwork is beutiful, the quotes are like the deepest quoates that I ever read in a manga, the characters are awesome and it's just so amazing! That's why I want all the volumes for my birthday! But do they have the volumes in my bookstore? No~o -__-

Tokyo Babylon is my most favorite CLAMP manga and I personally believe that it is their masterpiece. The twisted love story of Subaru and Seishirou is just so amazing and complicated. The tragedy of it makes you want to cry and scream at CLAMP for being so cruel. I think it's one of those stories that grabs you and never let goes.

I agree! I think that no matter what, Tokyo Babylon will be the most tragic, moral-filled and beautiful works of CLAMP. I really got into it.

Then Hokuto-chan told me that there was only 7 volumes. I thought that I was going to be sick. Only 7 volumes for such a wonderful manga??! CLAMP, when you decided to do that I think you were insane!!

Of course, whenever Subaru was mentioned in X, shivers went up my fangirl spine.

Yet still, I believe that CLAMP should have done so much more with Tokyo Babylon!! And only to OVAs?? And they didn't even follow the manga!! CLAMP, whats wrong with you?! We want more Tokyo Babylon!!

I know, I was also surprised that there was only 7 volumes, but it worked out pretty well. Although, I think that they could've gotten away with a couple more volumes.

The manga should've been turned into a full fledge anime series instead of 2 ovas. Well, I guess we could always hope it'll happen.

I know! There should've been an anime! But it'll proably be pretty short, maybe like twenty something episodes...

uh, X was 24 episodes.....

And there was also an OVA and a movie...don't watch the movie.

I know, and I notice that the best animes have around 26 episodes, well Full Metal had 52 but it's still one of my favs, and and CCs was like 70 something right?

Yes, around 70. No wait, there was 70 episodes and two movies and a few OVA's that had nothing to do with anything, but they were hillarious!

Hmmm, I never saw the OVAs but we're getting a bit off topic..again.

So anyways, if TB was animated again I want there to be a movie of the entire series! Ooh, that'll be a cool movie!

Yes, but it'd be long! But if it came out in my country and was in the movies, I'd buy a ticket for me and my friend for the first viewing!! And then buy the whole animation, then I'd force the japanese seiyuu's to learn english then say their parts in english. That would be an awesome english dub.

Ah, a movie...I know it would be extremly long but some parts could be cut off, we mainly just need stuff from vol. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7.

And the part where Subaru talks to his Obaa-chan in vol.2

Nah, that part was boring...actually I made that part intresting when I was reading it to Sei-chan. We were cracking up so hard when I was mimicking Sub's obaa-san's voice, lol.

Anyways, a movie would be aweosme! Actully there is a live action movie of post TB but there were no subs...*sniff*

I( know! That sucked!! I can't wait for the subs!!

Uh...I don't think they are any subs...I'll check to see but I doubt.

There isn't any, but they are trying to get a translation team to sub it.

Ah, I see, and besides I usually don't like anime live action movies

Well, I don't understand it, therefore I don't even know which one Subaru is!

Oh that's sad, is he wearing anything that looks Subaru like?

It's after TB, so no.

Anything that Subaru wore in X?
