Clover

In a futuristic world, the government has conducted secret research called the 'Clover Project'. Each Clover is tattooed with a power level by the Five Elders Council. Sue is a Four Leaf Clover, the only one in existence. Ran is a Three Leaf, one of two. Gingetsu is Two Leaf and Oruha is One Leaf. Each book tells a different tale of these tragic children, backtracking from when Kazuhiko takes Sue to Fairy Park to when Ran becomes Gingetsu's ward. Kazuhiko is a former soldier turned private eye who is giving the mission of picking up and delivering Sue to Fairy Park. Sue is part of a race of children called Clovers who are children with special powers, and in this futuristic world, the government is out to control them.

The story to me started out pretty confusing and it wasn't till after a couple pages that I fully came into concept of what this world is like. I liked the idea behind it but did not feel this was explored enough. Again, this story had so much potential to carry on the plot that came to a anti-climatic halt. I picked this series from the picture on the cover since I like this style of artwork and I wasn't disappointed. But it was annoying on just how many pages were dedicated to song lyrics and little sayings that were repeated again, and again, and again, etc. I started skipping over those annoying fillers.
