It's a celebration of my favorite mangaka group (and the lateness is a result of getting two nasty cases of the flu? cold? generic respiratory nastiness in a row), starting with what may be one of the weirdest works they ever made.
MAN OF MANY FACES (Niju Mesno ni Onegai!), by CLAMP. First published in 1990 and first published in North America in 2003.
PLOT:
When Akira Ijyuin isn't busy with the CLAMP School Detectives, he spends his days refining his fine cooking skills and taking care of his two mothers. By night, though, he is the infamous phantom thief 20 Faces, stealing only the finest, most whimsical things at his mothers' request. Like his father before him, Akira can steal just about anything and get away, but what will he do when the kindergarten-aged heiress Utako ends up stealing his heart instead?
