Gate 7

[Arcademan]

Dark Horse presents Gate 7 by CLAMP



An innocent sightseeing trip to Kyoto opens up a magical realm to shy high schooler Chikahito Takamoto! Visiting a legendary shrine, Chikahito finds himself in the mystical world of Hana and her comrades--and his immunity to their powers leads them to believe that he's no ordinary, awkward teenager! Protecting our world from violent elemental beasts, Hana and her team welcomes the confused Chikahito--who isn't quite sure that he wants to be caught in the middle of their war! One's thing's certain, though, since he's smitten with aloof, childlike warrior Hana, he's along for the ride, for better or worse!

Available October 12, 2011 in the United States (English translation).

Excellent start to this series and the artwork is very good, as one would expect from CLAMP however enjoying the art more as it doesn't seem as rushed as in Tsubasa and xxxHoLiC. Very pleasing to the eyes without the wild battle scenes.

The second book is out and let me tell you...if you're not used to doing a lot of reading, this may not be the series for you however it's a pretty good read...lots of Japanese history and folklore covered in the storylines.
