Storyline Blurb

In this OVA, Su-chan is asked to investigate a strange series of accidents that have been causing the deaths of several important chairmen of the MCC Corporation. Subaru soon discovers thanks to his astral perception that, as supposed, there´s a particular Dark Omnyoujitsu curse set upon the project, but one that has been incorrectly casted, while an executive chairman, Shinji Nagumo, has been present in all the accidents, though he has surprisingly always survive, each new death driving him closer to his desired position. Just then Subaru meets beautiful Kazami Asou, sister of one of the murdered MCC´s top corporates and whose thirst for revenge have lead her to use evil Omnyoujitsu spells in order to avenge her brother and punish Nagumo´s cruelty.

Getting hooked on
The facts are set on the table for a thrilling police investigation blended with that mysterious, mystic atmosphere we are used to find on TB, and the various Omnyoujitsu elements involved in the whole matter promise an excellent storyline full of action and dramatism. The OAV is supposed to be temporaly situated between Smile (TB Manga Volume 2), -in which Hokuto-chan casts the same Mystic Circle she uses in this OAV to protect Kazami to attack the policemen chasing her "friend"- and Call (TB Manga Volume 3).

The OAV´s music main theme, Kiss Kiss (a direct allussion to that lovely ending scene over the destroyed skyscrapper, I think ^_^) is one of TB Music´s most robbing songs, a very romantic theme involving Subaru´s point of view and feelings about his dear Seishirou. In the OAV we can also find a short music video of the melodic version of this song, that seems to be a kind of paralelism about Subaru´s still borning relationship with Seishirou and Kazami´s frustration and obsession towards Shinji-san.

The Cast
Wise-looking Mr. Mimura Mr. Mimura
President of the MCC Corporation, Mr. Mimura was the one who decided to hire the services of the Sumeragi Clan in order to investigate the mysterious accidents that were delaying the construction of the Project 5. He was killed by Shinji Nagumo on the first scenes of the OVA, and his death is the one that drives both Subaru and Yamakawa into the investigation.

Pretty Kazami-chan, looking surprised Kazami Asou
Sister of one of the MCC top businessmen that Nagumo pushed out of his way, beautiful and brave Kazami becomes obsessed with the need to avenge her brother´s death, and involves in irresponsible and dangerous Dark Omnyoujitsu practices in order to do so. She is the one who casted the curse over the Project 5 and whose last jistu causes the conclusive confrontation.

Cheerful Yamakawa showing his I.D. Detective Yamakawa
Detective Yamakawa isn´t for sure the typichal police detective, but not less capable than any of them. He fisrt met Su-chan at the crime scene of Mimura´s murderer, and then surprised him by finding him roaming around the Project 5 construction, after that they both started the exhaustive investigations of the accidents.
Shinji-san, looking mischieveously appealing Shinji Nagumo
Shinji-san is the ambitiously evil (and good looking ^_^) businessman who would do anything for moving up in the corporate ladder, even kill by using his psychiquic powers. He´s very arrogant and sure of himself, and is that excess of self-trust that would lead him to end up being possesed by the ikiryo of Koni.
Koni, the faithful pet Koni
Remember this innocently-looking face, for it is Koni, late Mr. Asou´s beloved pet, who will be an important factor in Kazami´s power-play and who will define the ending confrontation of the OVA. It is the power of his spirit the one Kazami uses to cast the dark jitsu that should have brought about Nagumo´s death, but Koni´s ikiryo comes to take control of him instead, granting him the enormous power that almost causes Subaru´s defeat.

Comments and Critics
This OAV is mainly action-based, the animation is really great and the police investigation awakes deep interest, but there is too little attention dedicated to the main characters (it happens also in OAV 2), something that makes you wonder why CLAMP prefers to give more attention to the secondary characters than to the main ones. Eventhough the last scene, in which Subaru-kun faces the monstrous businessman, seems a bit too quick, Seishirou´s robbing participation turns it into one of the top moments of the OAV, together with that preacious moment in which Su and Sei stay looking lovingly into each other´s eyes while Hokuto goes on with her supermarket babbling. The jealousy game the couple plays along the whole sequence is priceless: be sure to notice how Subaru reacts to every attention his beloved gives to his sis, and Seishirou´s face and voice tone when Su-chan seems too worried about Kazami. ^_^

Subaru´s Omnyoujitsu display is more important than in the second OAV, some interesting explanations about Sakanagi and irresponsible Dark Omnyoujitsu practices, and otakus can also find the further gift of seeing Hokuto-chan in action.
