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've been working on some character bio stuff with a friend - we're hoping to get it up sometime in the next few weeks (when the mod here comes back~), so hopefully that will help you. We're trying to put together info on the historical figures they're based on as well, so I'm sure that will be helpful at some point.

I really like the in media res presentation of this. I think it's meant to be a bit overwhelming - you're supposed to be like Chikahito, tossed into the middle of all of this and will slowly figure out the connections between everyone and history that has lead to this point as he does (or maybe I'm just making crap up, like I am prone to doing when I need things to fall into neat categories, I dunno XD). I like each chapter more and more as we get more information, so I too am very excited to see where this is all going :D

I'm down for a discussion post, and can probably dredge up a couple more fans for it as well~
