Now that Kohaku has returned to heaven, Shuichiro realizes how much he cared for his former angel companion. Kohaku still longs to return to Earth, but God has forbidden it. Both of them saw how much trouble can result when angels explore forbidden relationships. Will Kohaku toss aside her divinity to pursue a wish that can't be fulfilled alone?

Shuichiro Kudo
Shuichiro is the man who has everything - a successful medical practice, a huge house, lots of money. So when he rescues Kohaku, an angel, from an evil crow with a devilish design and she offers him a wish, there isn't anything he really wants. A man of science, Shuichiro is skeptical about the supernatural world that literally falls into his life, but before long he accepts things for what they are and takes in Kohaku as a roommate.

Kohaku
The angel Kohaku was sent to earth by God to find the missing archangel Hisui. A bit of a ditz, Kohaku soon finds herself in trouble, but she's rescued by the doctor Shuichiro. When he won't accept her offer to repay him with a wish, Kohaku moves in with him, helping out with watering the garden (the one task she can perform that doesn't usually end in disaster). The longer she stays with Shuichiro, the more she becomes attached to him. By day she takes the form of an elegant human woman, but by night she's reduced to her weaker form - a pudgy cherub.

Koryu
This lesser devil is investigating why Kohaku's been slumming on Earth. He loves to tease Kohaku about her pudgy cherub appearance, but by day, Koryu becomes a rather unimpressive and pudgy demon himself. A troublesome meddler, Koryu makes things difficult for Kohaku and Shuichiro.

Ruri & Hari
These mischievous twin cat-demons answer to their master, Koryu. They can transform into common housecats when they need to go unnoticed on Earth. In exchange for Koryu's affections, they'll do anything he asks.

Hisui
One of God's archangels, Hisui exiles herself to Earth after she falls in love with the greater devil, Kokuyo. When Hisui doesn't report back in, God sends Kohaku to investigate.

Kokuyo
Formerly a playboy of the underworld, Kokuyo's a changed devil once he falls in love with the archangel Hisui. Their forbidden love will shake the foundations of Heaven and Hell.

What is 'CLAMP'?

CLAMP is the four-woman manga studio that creates the world's most popular manga. For the past 15 years they have worked non-stop, creating everything from the adorable shojo (girls comic) hit Cardcaptor Sakura, to the dark and brooding Tokyo Babylon, to the sci-fi romantic comedy Chobits. Currently they are working on four series: Legal Drug, X, Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicle and xxxHolic. The group also has a close relationship with anime studio Madhouse, which has adapted most of CLAMP's manga into equally successful anime.

2004 marks the team's 15th anniversary, and to celebrate they are working on a retrospective collection called CLAMP no Kiseki, available from TOKYOPOP in 2005.
