One of CLAMP’s most enduring and resonate series, Tokyo Babylon is a sophisticated look at Tokyo itself, as well as the interior lives of the people who live there, all wrapped in a mostly-episodic urban fantasy. The series elevates BL tropes while digging into some of CLAMP’s deeper themes, and is still wildly discussed to this day.
