WISH by CLAMP (possible spoilers)

<< < (3/5) > >>

Dayanira:
This is a very sweet story, and i too didn't find the ending too sad,most likely because i also cared mostly of Hisui and Kokyo ^_^
Kill me, but they remind me a little of kurofai (just like KakeixSaiga from lawful drug). I DON'T KNOW WHY!

And even though this manga is very different from others their works, it's SO CLAMPish! With the whole idea of a wish you can't grant by yourself

mia-chan:
Oh does no-one else find it sad? Just me then! Never mind I am quite emotional I still cry everytime I watch Titanic! Anyway back on topic, what do people who have read this manga think of the artwork? I'm not very good at judging artwork, is Mick Nekoi good at it. I know that I find it very pretty. I think that she enjoys drawing the superdeformed people more than the normal sized people.

Capella:
Wishes are definitely one of CLAMP's favorite topics - Wish, X, XXXHOLiC, TRC...It's right up there with destiny, happiness, and strength.

To be more on topic, Wish is one of my favorite CLAMP series. I find it hilarious most of the time, and sweet at others. I agree with Duchessa and Rekall - it doesn't really have a sad ending. Show contentI've actually heard that CLAMP had originally planned to leave Shuichirou dead, but were persuaded to make it happier.
Koryu is my favorite in this series. He's a such a brat. And Ruri and Hari amuse me so. I'm also not really into Kohaku/Shuichirou. I like Hisui/Kokuyo more, but I think my OTP for Wish was actually Ransho/Touki.

There is that annoying plot hole in the series, though. Show contentEveryone always goes on about how Shuichirou looks like Kokuyo, and we don't know where Shuichirou came from in the first place. I expected something to be made of that, but nothing ever is.
About the artwork, I think it's nice, though the shoulders on the men look extremely strange - the girls and the genderless people look good. The backgrounds and clothing designs and whatnot are quite as good as in the other CLAMP series.

duchessa:
I read about  that too. I  heard the story was originally planned to revolve around Kokuyou and Hisui but hten it turned out too 'adult'  XD. Was also a bit dissapointed with the plot hole - I would've even gobble up the old 'long lost brother 'plot than just letting it dissapear.

Jeannette:
'Wish' is a really good series, one of my favorites by CLAMP. I've heard the whole 'Kadokawa made them change the ending' story'- I was the one who told you about it, wasn't I, Capella?

Anywho, here's a translation of the CLAMP no Kiseki interview about Wish. In the interview Ookawa says that she actually wishes she had ended the story differently- but instead of the more depressing ending she actually says she wishes it had a cuter ending, and says that she had the whole ending planned out before they started. So if they had originally started out with a more depressing ending, I guess they and their editors decided to change it even before they started printing it. O_o Maybe we've all been wrong.
