The Story:

The story begins with Kazahaya Kudo collapsed in the snow one night and on the verge of death. He is rescued by a mysterious young man, Rikuo Himura, who takes him back to a pharmacy named the Green Drugstore. Kazahaya, apparently running from his past, takes up work at the Green Drugstore alongside Rikuo. He comments that although Rikuo rescued him, he really feels indebted to the store’s owner, Kakei, whom he thanks for his current accommodation and job. Whilst their day job is quite simple, the boys are persuaded and, in some cases, practically forced by Kakei to take on strange extra jobs outside the store, which make use of their supernatural powers.

My Thoughts:

Although undeniably beautiful graphic-wise, Clamp stories are somewhat a turn off for me. With the exception of XxxHolic, I was not that keen in reading their creation due to the confusing nature of their stories. Okay, so maybe I'm a bit 'slow' in catching up with the stories so I found myself being bored most of the time. But Legal Drug to me is a more acceptable & 'stress-free' series from the ladies. It might not be as good as XxxHolic & appeared a bit yaoi but the story is quite eye catchy & pretty interesting to read. The idea for the story might not be original but it is still enjoyable especially for supernatural fans. And yes, as usual do expect 'cameo' from several Clamp universe characters inside the manga cause hey, that's what Clamp is all about right? Shameless promoting. Hehehe.. Just kidding...
