Clamp

Yesterday, I read the last 18 volumes of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. It took me 8 hours, so it's about 2 volumes + an hour. I'm proud of myself.

Clamp started as a group of girls that made doujinshi. Most of them were short shonen-ai versions of currently running shonen mangas, i.e. saint seiya.
Clamp (and some others, like Kaori Yuki) made a big step in getting shounen-ai / shoujo-ai into mainstream. I just started counting the titles that did have this sort of themes going on. Mostly this kind of plots are really light.

Clamp titles featuring:

-shounen-ai
Clover
X
Tokyo Babylon
Lawful drug
Card Captor Sakura
Wish
Rg Veda
Suki
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles

-shoujo-ai
Card Captor Sakura
X
Rg Veda
Chobits
Angelic Layer
Miyuki-chan in Wonderland
Man of many faces

-not read/not sure
Clamp School Detectives (not read)
Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders (not read)
Shirahime Syo
Legend of Chun Hyang (not read)
Watashi no suki na hito
XXXHolic
Kobato
Dreyard
Magic Knight Rayearth ...I heard from some fans of Lantis x Eagle Vision, but well... no way

Power Axis Hetalia

It is the manga/anime of the moment. It is funny. It has useful information. I has enormous fandom, I can guess why. At first I actually was quite scared off by the amount of fanfiction/ fanart it generated.

Well the best thing is you can find your own cute country there. And the great think is that the author, instead of trying to redraw standar features of country, added a lot into characters. Anyway the way they behave in-sync with historical events is funny.
