Synopsis

Retiring as a soldier of the government of a high-tech city, Fay Ryu Kazuhiko's transition into civilian life is cut short when his superior, General Ko, summons him. Having a leaf imprinted onto his hand by code, Kazuhiko is entrusted with a secret task to deliver a "package"—a girl with white hair and evergreen eyes whom he finds singing in a birdcage-like building. All Kazuhiko knows is that her name is Suu, and for whatever reason, she wishes to go to Fairy Park.

As his friends Lan and Gingetsu help set up a transport module for the duo, Kazuhiko suspects that there is more to Suu than he knows. Not only is their transport intercepted, but the two are also pursued by Bols—a face that is uncomfortably familiar to Kazuhiko and who seems to have received his own mission to seek out Suu. The truth behind the discreet nature of this operation, Suu's existence, and even a possible connection between her and Kazuhiko may all be linked to just one word: clover.

Background

Clover was published in English by Tokyopop from May 15, 2001 to March 20, 2002 before the company went defunct. The license was then acquired by Dark Horse, who released the title in one complete omnibus volume on May 13, 2009 as well as digitally on May 21, 2014. Kodansha Comics USA later republished all four volumes as one omnibus volume digitally on June 30, 2020 and in print on September 8, 2020.

The series has also been released in French as Trèfle by Pika Édition from July 18, 2000 to November 12, 2001 and in German by Carlsen Verlag.

Clover is a special manga that demands attention to the way ties intertwine intensely, guiding the unexpected.

What makes Clover's narrative special, apart from the fact that it is very well written, is the way in which, constantly in te midst of the artwork, song lyrics are composed and introduced into the contexts of the characters in the story. Part of this is a special factor in the midst of a cinematic expression, which plays with the positions of the frames, explores spaces and shapes feelings. It's something that constantly gains more layers through conflicts and interactions, as the past, present and future intertwine. At the ...

Mixed Feelings
Story: 4/10
For what it had of a story, Clover was interesting.
The major problem: Most of the pages were lyrics and mostly blank pages.
I hate lyrics in literary works because I don't know the melody. I'll try to make a tune, then fail. Eventually, I'll just skip the songs. That's all right, but if the pages are mostly lyrics, that's not good.

Also, there is little plot development. The volumes are told out of order. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE stories that are out of order: Like Pulp Fiction and Sin City. The thing about those movies/comics is that they have plot development.

Hm, where should I start with this review? I remember back in my early days on the Internet, I remember seeing pictures of Sue everywhere. I recognized the art as CLAMP but I wasn’t aware she was from a manga series until I actually started to read about CLAMP. I longed for the day to read it because I really loved their ideas for stories and I wanted to explore what other worlds they have created.

And, honestly, I’m not quite sure what I read. The setting takes place in a retro like world that has steampunk. I suppose that’s interesting in itself – I’m not ...
