X - 1999

Tokyo, midsummer. A crow's cry. Kamui Shiro returns after years away, drawn back to protect his childhood friends, Fuma and Kotori, from a looming fate. Two warring factions seek Kamui's allegiance: the Dragons of Heaven, sworn to protect humanity, and the Dragons of Earth, who desire its destruction. A stylish, apocalyptic vision from the CLAMP universe.
