The sci-fi classic from the creators of xxxHOLiC and Cardcaptor Sakura returns, in a remastered, hardcover edition, featuring the entire CLOVER series. One of CLAMP's most ambitious works -- part AKIRA, part Metropolis -- CLOVER features nearly 500 pages of manga. Su was born into a bleak future, where the military keeps tight control over the few children born with magical abilities -- known as "Clovers."

The Clovers are forcibly tattooed with a symbol that indicates their potential power, and Su is the only four-leaf Clover in the world. Kept locked away in isolation her whole life, Su longs to find happiness in the outside world. An agent named Kazuhiko appears to help grant Su's wish, but he soon realizes that there is more to the mysterious girl than meets the eye... CLAMP's most daring science-fiction work, CLOVER's art-deco cyberpunk aesthetic is just as fresh and exciting today as it was twenty years ago. Featuring the entire story in a newly-revised translation; remastered art and lettering; a striking cover; and over 20 pages of color art, this is a great collectible for CLAMP fans, and the perfect way to get to know CLOVER for the first time.
