This story focuses on two high school drop-outs, Kazahaya Kudo and Rikuo Himura, who work at Green Drug Pharmacy, a corner store which sells sundries such as chocolates and condoms. But the owners of the shop, Kakei and Saiga, run a second business as well: one that involves dreams, wishes, spirits and memories. Kazahaya is able to sense memories of anything he touches, Rikuo is able to break things telepathically and Kakei can see some aspects of the future. He also might not be human- there are many hints that he and Saiga are not what they seem, and that both the store and even the supernatural side jobs are a front- their real purpose being the protection of the boys in an environment designed to foster their relationship. I loved this series in high school. It is not particularly sophisticated or well-drawn compared to other Clamp series, but the constant homoerotic tension between both Kakei and Saiga, and between Kazahaya and Rikuo (plus sometimes between all four of them) was like a sweet syrup to my gay-ass teenage soul. Re-reading these books again as an adult, I am less impressed. The story is designed in such a way that Kazahaya is constantly fainting, or being enchanted to fall lustily into Rikuo's arms, or being forced to wear a dress despite numerous protests. I ate that shit up at 16, but reading it now I'm uncomfortable with the instances of dubious consent. The mysteries that Kazahaya and Rikuo are sent to solve feel like less well-developed versions of the mysteries Kimihiro Watanuki works on in xxxHolic. Of the three volumes collected in this omnibus, the third one is the strongest. It takes place at a private boys school where Kazahaya and Rikuo pose as students. Because the whole book is given to one mystery, it is the most complex and interesting that they face. It is also the gayest and the shippiest volume of the series, but if you've made it to book three, than that's probably what you are reading for!
