CLAMP: Wish (2002, Tokyopop) 1 star

Review of 'Wish' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

During a mission, an angel gets trapped in a tree after an attack. A guy who finds her rescues from the tree behind her. She is very grateful and grants him a wish (hence the title). There’s just one problem: he doesn’t have a wish.

There is also a devil trying to spy on an angel. To solve the problem, he entrusted his friends with the task.

The story is very cute. That’s basically it.

The idea had potential, but it lacked proper development. Untapped potential went unused. There was a lack of development between the two main characters. There was a slight sense that Kohaku loved Shuichiro. Although I saw little evidence of Shuichiro being in love, he was always stoic and showed basic kindness.

Because of the undeveloped nature of this manga, it is hard to explain. There was a sense of having read a manga in the past that slipped my mind. There were similarities in the plot and characters, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I’m sure I’ll remember it eventually, but for now, I’m left with a nagging feeling that something is missing.
