Akira seems like your normal 4th grader. He goes to school, participates on the student council and cooks dinner for his moms every morning. But he really is the mysterious 20 faces, and gentleman thief who steals whatever his parents ask him to. One night while hiding from the police he meets a young girl who instantly falls in love with him. But can a thief really find true love?

CLAMP has a wonderful knack for coming up with unique stories, and this is no exception. The characters are very memorable and the art is beautiful. However, it lacks some of the reality and depth of their better works, making this seem weak compared to their other books. A good read, but if you are looking for something exciting I would try Cardcaptor Sakura.
