I have a deep affection for Suki.

However, the realm presented in Suki demands a significant suspension of disbelief, similar to what one would offer to X/1999 or other works by CLAMP that merely seem to occur within our reality.

In this particular series, the fantastical element that stands out is Hina.

Hina brings a unique charm and a touch of the extraordinary to the story. Her presence adds an element of mystery and wonder, making the world of Suki even more captivating.

Despite the need to suspend disbelief, the series manages to draw the reader in and keep them engaged with its interesting characters and plot twists.

Overall, Suki is a fascinating series that combines elements of fantasy and reality in an intriguing way.

If you are seeking a fast-paced and effortless read, then this is precisely for you.

The entire series is incredibly cute and filled with fun.

Each book in the series takes you on a thrilling adventure, with engaging characters and exciting storylines.

Whether you are a fan of mystery, romance, or action, there is something for everyone in this series.

The writing style is simple and easy to follow, making it perfect for readers of all ages.

You can easily get lost in the world created by the author and enjoy every moment of the reading experience.

So, if you are in need of a quick and enjoyable escape, look no further than this amazing series.

Not my fav Clamp series by far!

Clamp is a renowned manga and anime collective with many popular works. However, this particular series fails to capture my interest as much as their others. The story might lack the depth and complexity that I usually expect from Clamp. The characters may not be as well-developed or engaging. The art style, while still maintaining Clamp's signature aesthetic, might not have the same charm for me. There could be several reasons why this series doesn't resonate with me. Maybe the theme is not something that I'm particularly drawn to. Or perhaps the pacing of the story is off. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that this is not my favorite Clamp series.

This series, which was completed in three volumes, was just so cute! It can be perfectly summed up by that one word. In it, we get to know Hinata, who is, let's admit it, completely adorable! Horribly adorable even, which sometimes leans towards total silliness and makes the reader want to shake her. However, her naive side is also what makes her charming, and we quickly let ourselves be charmed by this girl who always knows how to see the good side of things.

Let's not kid ourselves: the plot is quickly revealed, but we wonder exactly how Hinata will react when she too knows what the reader has understood throughout the pages.

I adored all the little passages telling the illustrated history of the bears, which were particularly cute and had interesting morals. The parallel between these little novels and the manga itself is just as nice to see, and we have fun noticing the differences and similarities between what the characters are living through and what is happening with the bears.

The characters all have their own personalities, and I really liked Tomy. Hinata's friends, Toko and Emi, are also to be taken into account, and one of the plot twists really surprised me.

In short, it's a cute story, served by colorful characters and always sublime drawings! https://tempsdemots.wordpress.com/201...

This is the last volume, so my general view is as follows:

It is tender, but very short. Therefore, it does not allow for in-depth exploration of the characters and everything remains very mysterious until the end, which suddenly wants to close the loops.

However, it is Clamp and they are learning here.

Perhaps in future works, they will be able to better develop the characters and storylines, creating a more engaging and satisfying experience for the readers.

Despite its shortcomings, this volume still has its charm and吸引力, and it is interesting to see the evolution of Clamp's style and storytelling techniques.

Overall, it is a worthwhile read for fans of Clamp and those interested in the world of manga.

I simply can't hate anything created by CLAMP. The illustrations are wonderfully drawn, and the story is truly unique. In fact, I could have *ALMOST* fallen in love with it. However, there is a certain aspect that makes me a bit uncomfortable. There is a substantially older person involved, and Hina, who is presumably around 15 or 16 years old, yet acts like she's ten. I'm not too sure about this particular dynamic. Well, to be honest, I do know how I feel about it, and I don't like it at all. Therefore, I have to give a nay to this story. But as I previously mentioned, I just can't bring myself to actually hate it, solely because it's a work of CLAMP.

Not only do I not care to finish the series, but I actively don't want this in my brain. It's a complete fail on the part of CLAMP. The story just doesn't hold my interest. The characters lack depth and the plot seems to be going nowhere. I had high hopes for this series, but it has disappointed me greatly. I feel like I'm wasting my time by continuing to read it. I would rather spend my time on something more engaging and worthwhile. CLAMP really needs to step up their game if they want to keep their fans. Fail, CLAMP, fail.

Review originally published at mangaupdates.com in January, 2008.

We had a great time reading this book aloud together. It contains an abundance of action that manages to hold both of our interests. There is also enough sweetness within its pages to keep us happy, and just the right amount of angst to keep Mommy intrigued. In fact, it makes me grateful to all the gods that I don't have to read Clifford or Backyardigans to her.

I must admit, I would have liked to see a bit more of a pervy side to it (hehehehe - that's just my nature). However, for reading with my child, it was truly delightful. I simply can't help but fall in love with Hinata and her remarkable ability to forgive and always think the best of people. It was truly touching. This book is well worth the read.

My daughter fell asleep during one chapter in volume 3, but I couldn't stop myself from continuing to read until the end. (And I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to her again when she woke up.) I most definitely do not do that with Clifford. Ha.

This piece is truly terrible yet it is compellingly written.

It manages to draw you in despite all the rather dubious aspects it presents.

For instance, the age gap of over 16 years between the lead characters is quite significant and might raise eyebrows.

Moreover, the terminal naïveté of the characters adds another layer of complexity that could be seen as either charming or frustrating.

However, despite these potential drawbacks, the writing style has a certain allure that keeps you engaged.

It makes you overlook the flaws and continue reading, eager to see where the story will lead.

Perhaps it is the author's skill in creating a narrative that is both flawed and fascinating that makes this piece so interesting.

Overall, it is a strange but captivating read that leaves you with a mix of emotions and thoughts.

Where to begin? It just keeps getting worse and worse. The idea of having a bodyguard redeems it very, very, very slightly. However, it still doesn't make sense that she has been living alone all this time. Granted, she has been kidnapped a lot, so having a bodyguard is at least a little bit logical. But she still needs someone to help her with homework, cook, clean, do laundry, etc., as if she is a child! And at the end, his job is just done like that? Just because she got kidnapped again? It means he failed at his job, not completed it! What is the solution here, guys? This is equally as bad as "Man of Many Faces." At least Miyuki-chan was funny-bad. No, I take it back. It is worse because in the last few pages, this grown man validated the kid's romantic feelings towards him. There are simply no words to describe how bad this is.

*Possible Spoilers*

Well, I really plowed through this series. To be honest, this volume is the best out of the three, but that doesn't mean it's outstanding. The artwork has indeed improved and become cleaner, and the action has picked up a bit. However, as a whole, my rating for this series is only 1.5 - 2.5 stars. I'm a huge CLAMP fan, but unfortunately, this series was a huge letdown compared to anything I've read previously by them. There are several problems I had with this manga:

1. I understand that Hina is 14 and supposed to be naive about the world. But being naive is one thing, and Hina seems to be borderline daft. Even when her friends explain things to her multiple times, it just doesn't seem to register in her mind.

2. Her friend Emi instigates the most recent in a string of kidnappings of Hina. Given how it's emphasized that Hina is too kind and too trusting, all Emi had to do was ask Hina for the money, and Hina would've given it. There was no need for a kidnapping at all. But I guess we need something to drive the plot forward.

3. It's very slow for what is considered a "slice of life" story. The pacing could have been much better to keep the reader more engaged.

4. The use of the bear story to get the seemingly dumb characters to progress their feelings was rather lame. It felt forced and didn't really add much to the overall story.

5. Two characters in the story, Tomo and Kizu, I initially assumed they were characters from CLAMP's other works, Legal Drug and Drug and Drop, since CLAMP likes to intertwine their universes. But after looking it up, I found out they're not. They're just similar, and that's really confusing as hell. It made me wonder if there was some connection that I was missing.

I only read this series because it was a CLAMP title I hadn't read before and it was super cheap on Amazon Kindle. To be honest, I probably will never revisit this series again. It just didn't live up to my expectations as a CLAMP fan.

Way to be a jerk, Emi. I'm really glad this weird series is finally over. It's been a strange and rather unpleasant journey. Emi's actions throughout have been less than desirable, and it's a relief to see it all come to an end. The whole thing has been filled with odd moments and behavior that just didn't sit right. Maybe now, with this behind us, we can all move on to better things. There's no need to dwell on the past and Emi's jerkiness. It's time to look forward and hope for more positive experiences.
