One thing to point out, the teacher and Rika was so fucking gross.
Definitely one of the worst things of this manga for sure.
Li and Sakura as middle schoolers is just adorable.
Finally finished the manga, I would say that did gross me out at first but I managed to not focus on it too much and by the end it was "fine".
The manga improved alot with these final volumes IMO, the begginings are really slow, but one can say the manga built the fundations to really deliver some beautiful plot and artwork nearing its conclusion.
Readed the omnibus version from dark horse, alot of beautiful old style art, and the art of the manga was really top, Clamp is to be applauded when you think this manga currently finished 18 years ago!
Honestly I was bit skeptical towards reading the series, so chapters were rather boring, and the series can have times if suffers too much from being a "kiddy show", yet there is alot to like, and as fan of the original anime I can say I loved the manga even more, and now can really see its true worth (even if I still believe it is a bit overrated on MAL).
Really great read, cute ship at the end, just thought Li come back too quick.. been following the new anime series too, I m sure I will appreciate it the most now, and of course, I need to read its manga too, and rewatch the original 70 eps and see the movies (never saw them), heard alot of good about 2nd one.
After that I should be going for Tsubasa (have waited for 5 years now to see it) and then maybe XXX Holic manga.
Clamp surely produced alot of good content, beyond making the designs for Code Geass.
