Hey guys, first time poster (I think) in the comm.

I'm really excited that Clamp is doing this kind of manga again. I'm usually not a fan of their more cutesy stuff and gravitate towards their more X-like urban fantasy (action, adventure, magic etc). I like the concept of Gate 7 so far, but I'd be lying if I said I understood what was going on lol. Is there ANYWHERE I can go to to find an in depth summary of the whole manga so far - plot, characters, and the conflicts etc. I tried tvtropes but no luck. Also I don't believe there's anything on wiki.

Also, what do you all think of gate_seven so far? I almost feel like there's so much exposition and new characters being thrown at us that the plot feels a little lost right now...a lot of set up. I was hoping for a stronger start, but I can't wait to see where it's heading.

We should definitely have a discussion post every month too!

I don't recall seeing anything beyond the character files in this very comm, tbh. But I found that reading the scanlations (rather than the raws next to the translation, that is) helped a lot! Following the links to information on the historical references can clear out a lot of confusion, too. A- and I kinda think it's meant to be confusing, even to those who understand the references.

I kinda like the way it's setting up. It's the total opposite of, say, TRC, where you were given the plot right away, and then it took forever to introduce other characters/the main charas' pasts/etc. But it sort of works? I already feel completely in love with pretty much the entire cast, where with TRC it took me longer. And it makes me really really curious as to where the plot's going to go, and what's going to happen.
