Hoooly crap. I've heard couple of good stuff about this manga, but... man was it a pretty neat read. CLAMP wows me yet again.
Really loved the humor (Mokona is cute and I did not mind the often meta humor towards RPGs), the drawings were a treat for the eyes (I love these character designs, who on CLAMP made these character designs??), and... look I dunno, not sure if this is a new favorite or not but it was definitely worth the read and worth getting it pre-owned in the long run. Need to find out where I can get the sequel, man.
The plot twist felt like it came out of nowhere though. Kinda wish there was a bit more foreshadowing for it, cuz otherwise it feels like it was made up on the last second.
In volume 1, there’s a bonus chapter where CLAMP talks about the manga. It is confirmed that Mokona (Apapa) designed the characters and drew them throughout the series. (Mokona in MKR is named after Mokona Apapa).
In Clamp No Kiseki volume 4, where CLAMP had their interview regarding MKR, it was stated by Nanase Ohkawa that they really wanted to draw this ending for Part 1 (they most likely had it in mind since the beginning of the series). The feedback was pretty mixed apparently, so I don’t blame you for feeling that this ending came out of nowhere lol. I didn’t mind the ending tbh. I liked the surprise!
What I also learned from CNK was that some of the characters were named after cars 😂 it makes sense since CLAMP really wanted to depict mechanic-related things for people to remember it by lmao
