For the rest of the series all their interaction consists of is fighting and molestation, that's pretty much it.Â Volume 13 may have a major death, but it also has Fuuma licking Kamui's tears. XD

Subaru has a more civil relationship with Fuuma than Kamui, the two of them would be better off if Kamui could control his temper.Â Although I wouldn't call Fuuma evil after he changed.Â In the beginning he is quite cold, but later he becomes warmer.Â He gained a personality when he switched, although I have serious doubts that he's possessed.

Lets just say, X/1999 got me into everything CLAMP, and to think it started off with seeing the movie.

I was, 13? or so when I saw X the movie, and I just balled by eyes out, because I knew of TB, I had seen the OVA's and some manga at the time, so when Subaru and Seishirou showed up, and

killed off in like 30 sec. flat

Other then those two, and Hokuto, who is only mentioned in the past, realy made me go WTF, then the other characters showed up. Being confused and having no idea who or what was going on. But as the movie went on, I sorta cared for the characters, and when they went bye bye, I was like, I need to read the manga to see the diffrence from the two. Boy was there a big diff.

Heads up, those who died in the movie, don't die till manga #13, but if you count Kotori......wait, since book 1 people have been killed off like its hunting season, which in Fuma's case it is.

I have spoilers for the X Moive, X TV, X video game endings good and bad, just I don't want to spoile anyone who hasn't read or seen anything, tell me and I'll post it.

Spoiler tag to be safe...

Which makes me wonder, why did he attack Kamui?Â Seishirou only kills for hits that somebody has put on someone (he's an assassin, it's his job), he doesn't just go around killing left and right.Â In a volume of TB one of his hits asks him if they had offended him, and he said not at all.Â They then asked who and he said "I wonder".Â Who hired him to kill Kamui?

My impression was that Seishirou went after Kamui because he was curious. As one of the Angels, he's been hearing about this "Kamui" person who can either save or destroy the human race. I think Seishirou would want to go see and get the measure of a person like that upon hearing he was back in town, if only on a whim.

That sounds about right, at least from what I know.

Going to read the next volume today, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to find TB?Â I looove Subaru, simply for what he did for Kamui.Â I read on a fansite that they share a pretty close relationship, though I suppose CLAMP wanted it to be brotherly since they're twins in TRC.

EDIT: I remembered that I wanted to say Kamui is gorgeous angsty. I saved that picture where

Fuuma has him pinned to that slab of wood or concrete or whatever with those pieces of glass, and Kamui has this blank look on his face while there's all this destruction and blood everywhere. I feel sadistic. XD

Haha, dunno why I spoiler, I'm the farthest person behind.

Do you mean scanlations of TB? I know a LJ group. As for Kamui and Subaru's relationship, I honestly think Kamui had a crush on Subaru but Subaru never really felt the same; so they're pretty much brotherly, or as CLAMP once said, 'sisters.' xd (I've always thought Kamui's crush on Subaru had a lot to do with just wanting someone who'd gone through a lot of pain and understood it and who wasn't going to hurt him- in other words, someone who wasn't Fuuma, the one he's really in love with.)

bie liao · « **Reply #85 on:** September 28 2006, 10:21 am »

Ah, that makes sense! I haven't really gotten into their relationship, but the TRC one is very cute~

But I'll try to figure it out myself while I read.

Hi, can I have the link to the TB scanlations LJ group? I really really want to read it, thanks!

Seishirou wouldn't need to visit him personally to do that, he could just use a surveillance shikigami to observe him...and possibly attack him if need be.

I think it had to do with Hinoto, he said that she knew him well.Â Also given that Kamui discovered that the shiki's that attacked him when he first came to Tokyo were Hinoto's strongly points to this.Â Her shiki's didn't work, so what does she do but hire somebody to do it for her.Â Which of course failed because Sei-chan figured out what Fuuma was and gave up.

Ah well, just a theory.

I really like the X manga, The anime isn't at all as good as the manga and they made some misstakes too(Kamui don't have blue eyes, Subaru's eyes are not green etc...) I think the X anime is okay but it's very different from the manga...The movie is very good animated, but they rushed the story too much and it didn't turn out very well...But I understand that it must be hard to animate X because the manga isn't finished yet, I hope CLAMP will continue working on it soon!

I voted for Kamui and Sorata. ^^ Kamui 'cause he's so cute and a great character and Sorata 'cause he's the optimistic one most of the time and he's also a great character.

Sabbe-chan · « **Reply #90 on:** November 13 2006, 03:18 am »

I agree with Sandra-chan, the manga is much better than the anime. And the movie has such wonderful animation, but the story isn't that great.
BTW, I voted for Subaru and Sei-chan!!! They're so cute together ^ ^, they're my favorite couple of all time.

I would have voted for Kamui too if I could.

Arcademan · « **Reply #91 on:** November 14 2006, 02:21 pm »

Okay, I decided it's time for me to better understand the world that is X/1999 and picked up the first 5 manga books today. I'll start into it by this weekend.

Just gonna suggest you read Tokyo Babylon as well if you want to appreciate Subaru and Seishirou's story better (if you haven't already that is).Â Although they don't make any real major appearances until volume 6, there are mentions of Subaru and Seishirou does cause some chaos before that.

Just finished reading that series so it looks like I'm good to go. Thanks.

Whoo! XD I'm glad Kamui beat out Subaru... XD;;;

Arcademan · « **Reply #95 on:** December 18 2006, 10:59 am »

I've now finished 16 books in the X/1999 manga. Now it's my understanding there are only 18 out in the United States? I know it's not finished but hopefully CLAMP can get back with it in the near future

Smile_For_Me · « **Reply #96 on:** December 18 2006, 02:45 pm »

Yeah, I have all the books so far, in Japan, Manga 19 has a few chapters released, just not as much as their should be. As of yet, Fans are waiting for books 19, 20, and 21.

nefadol · « **Reply #97 on:** December 18 2006, 03:11 pm »

You can find the 5 chapters that will be in volume 19 whenever they decide to continue the series online if you know where to look.Â It's the only real way to read them other than old Asuka mags or the 18.5 book that came with Clamp Newtype Platinum back in September, but those are in Japanese of course.

Arcademan · « **Reply #98 on:** December 18 2006, 03:34 pm »

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. I'll be picking up books 17 and 18 this week

Sandra-chan · « **Reply #99 on:** December 20 2006, 02:52 am »

It's a pity that it isn't finished, they stopped drawing on both X and Legal drug 2002.. I wonder if they will be finished, I really hope so!!!
