Synopsis
CLAMP's personal anthology exploring love through 12 short manga-prose stories on relationships and emotions.
Drawing on CLAMP's own personal experiences, The One I Love provides insight both into the creators' own lives, and into the oft-elusive concept of Love itself. This intimate collection of short stories and essays doesn't skirt issues at the heart of the matter such as insecurity, honesty, distance, independence, age, and marriage. This one-volume anthology comprises 12 individual stories, each of which consists of seven pages of manga and two pages of prose. (Source: Tokyopop)
