Intro
Tons of iron and cement; kilometres of asphalt and tubeways; millions of people with apparentaly no identity. Big cities seem like a hell made by the hand of the man that had replaced the ancient evil kingdoms from old history. Among so much technology and so much artificial light it doesn´t seem to be space for the spirits and, nevertheless, these exist, like Subaru and Hokuto, the Sumeragi Twins know well.

The Story, the Settings
Descendants of a family of wise spiritists, the Sumeragi twins live in the biggest city of the Pacific shore. A proud metropolis that not only boasts of having reborn from it´s own ashes but that aspirates to rule the world. A city very parallel to the biblic Babylon. A city that seems to be waiting for some god to punish it for it´s pride and it´s inhabitants ´sins.

Because each one of the many millons of citizens of Tokyo city has his dreams, his yearnings, his anguishes and his pains. Everyone of them are easy preys of despair and feel tempted to turn to magical methods to escape from their little dramas. Methods that, if wrongly used, can bring about the destruction and misery of everyone that surrounds them.

The Characters, their Feelings
Sumeragi Subaru is a young Omnyouji, Thirteenth Head of the powerful Sumeragi Clan. His duty is to unsummon the painful spirits that still walk the world of the living. He lives with his twin sister, Hokuto, whose main occupation seems to laugh at his shyness and his deep relationship with Seishirou, descendent of another ancient family, the mysterious Sakurazuka Clan. Seishirou is also an Omnyouji, though he dedicates his life to veterinary.

But, is there any shadowy bond that links the couple appart from their relationship?

The TB Xperience CLAMP shows us with Tokyo Babylon a fantastic panoram of the capital city of dazzling Japan. A scenario in which cement only hides a fertile ground full of legends of spirits and demons. A background in which magical spells mingle with everyday´s life and gives place to some of the most fascinating (and also moving, don´t forget we´re dealing with Shoujo Manga) adventures.

A magical, splendorous City in which the most forbidden and passionate romance will rise...


"Life in Tokyo is far from being a perfect dream...
In everyday's struggle we constantly hurt other people's feelings.
Sometimes, we also get hurt..."
