Reviews for Clamp School Detectives

Short, sweet, cute, and fun are the words to describe this manga. Clamp does it again with a simple plot, and yet their characters are what truly engage us. The three boys that make up the elementary school board are so adorable! From the shy, and sweet Akira, the serious and quiet Suoh, to the cordial and somewhat eccentric Nokoru. Each of them possesses a character quality that makes them lovable. For newcomer Clamp fans this would be a good series to pick up and look into it. The manga styling is cute, and very much like Magic Knight Rayearth. The panel layouts are good,and nothing looks jumbled. The dialog is witty and easy for some who is say 12 to still understand. All in all a keeper, and it's fairly short to so no need to worry about epics!

MISC: Want to expand your Clamp universe? Pick up Dukylon School Defenders. Taking place at the same place as School Detectives, there will be reoccurring characters.

I watched the anime version first (which have a perfect adaptation of most of the chapters here, if I'm not mistaken, since it's been a long long time) and maybe that's what compelled me to just give a 6 here but 7 for the anime. I guess it's that few chapters "missing" lol But despite that, being a "fine" manga isn't nothing to be ashamed of! The plot is simple and short, perfect to relieve your mind of serious things and just appreciate the out-of-pocket yet always creative CLAMP way of doing things This is certainly was a good read for me. I just feel likethe story could be longer like the animated version!
