 This month's artist is not a singular one but rather a group! CLAMP is a team that started over thirty years ago by a group of college students that made yaoi doujins and original manga and while it started with eleven people, it eventually shrunk in 93 to the core team of Ageha Ohkawa (Writer, Storyboarder, Media Relations), Mokona Apapa (Character designer, colorist and lead artist), Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (background and assistant artists). They have continued this four-people team since then and have declined to hire assistants due to how synchronized they are, something quite rare in the industry.  Cardcaptor Sakura Their biggest success. Released in 96, this manga talks about clumsy middle-schooler Kinomoto Sakura accidentally freeing several magical "Clow Cards" in the world after opening a Grimoire. After being pressed by the magical guardian Kerberos, she sets out to catch those cards as a Magical Girl! It's a cute and lighthearted story with a great focus on the characters and their relationship.  Magic Knight Rayearth Three high schoolers (Hikaru, Umi and Fuu) are on a school trip to the Tokyo Tower when suddenly they are summoned to another world! Called by the people of the Fantasy World of Cephiro and accompanied by a cute creature (and future CLAMP mascot) Mokona, they must save the Princess Emeraude and defeat the evil and really really sexy dude Lord Zagato. Rayearth owns a lot and it's probably one of the first manga to fuse the "shojo" and "shonen" genres, combining elements of each in a high fantasy adventure that still has a big focus on the relationship and friendship between the girls.  XXXHolic Despite the name this isn't a porno. This series is about a young man, Watanuki, who is haunted by ghosts and spirits since he was a little child. After almost being chased by a group of them, he ends up in a shop owned by the mysterious witch Yuuko who grants people's wishes as long as they "sacrifice" something for her. Watanuki then becomes Yuuko's assistance in exchange to have his 'ghost plague' rid of, and from then on witnesses several strange cases of people who come to the shop and want their own wishes granted...  Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle I'm gonna be honest it's been years since I read this one and I had no idea what the plot was about and I barely remember it but it's a CCS alternate universe or something like that??? I'll reread this for sure.
