About X 3 in 1 Edition Manga Volume 1
X 3-in-1 volume 1 collects volumes 1-3 in omnibus format and features story and art by CLAMP.
Kamui Shiro is a young man followed by mystery. Taken from Tokyo by his mother when only a child, Kamui left behind his dearest friends - the gentle Kotori and her brother Fuma - in the aftermath of a terrible incident that claimed their mother's life.
Returning to Tokyo after his mother's death, Kamui is a changed young man: moody and distant to his old friends, yet determined to protect them from the dark forces that swirl around him. Kamui is the nexus of a great cataclysm to come, and inheritor to a strange destiny that could decide the fate of the entire world.
In this deluxe collector's edition of X, the pages have been recomposed in the original right-to-left reading order and restored to the highest quality. Each volume contains three of the original graphic novels, along with gorgeous, full-color illustrations never before published outside Japan!

More, baby, more
by Enoch
Stunning artwork with creative panel use that never fails to stimulate, and I'm not usually someone who cares much about that sort of thing, but with CLAMP in general and this in specific it really is an experience that deserves recognition. It's a lot of buildup, but it stays interesting, and I generally read CLAMP manga for the second half anyways, the payoff is always worth it.
CLAMP's Epic Masterpiece
by LainEverliving -
X is perhaps CLAMP's greatest work: epic, unfinished, and thematically-rich, it is a testament to the powerful gifts of artists at their best. The dark template of the story, in which powerful warriors on opposing sides duel in the shadows to determine the fate of the world, has since been replicated countless times (perhaps best in the Fate franchise); however, this is the original, and it still holds up beautifully. CLAMP's exquisite artwork turns each page into a miniature masterpiece; one can spend many hours enjoying the art, independent of the story it brings to life. But the heart of X is in its memorable cast of characters, vividly and sympathetically realized by fine, sensitive writing that deftly combines action and drama. Though never completed, this is a series that yields more than its share of rewards along the ride; it's well worth the dark and tragic journey, and leaves one hoping a conclusion will someday be crafted.
