My first impression of Yami

My first impression of Yami no Matsuei: Its Tokyo Babylon, Fushigi Yuugi-style. The art work is more like Fushigi Yuugi than CLAMP stuff, and it has lots of humor intermixed with the seriousness, like FY. But the premise of the plot is much more like that of Tokyo Babylon, and the endings of the first chapters of both are rather similar. They both end with main-charecter thought reflections on certain subjects. Tsusuki's is about how everyone has a paradise where they are most important, and Subaru's is on Tokyo, following one of Seishirou's lines about how he likes Tokyo because it's the only city that can enjoy itself as it walks the path of destruction. Yami no Matsuei is a series I definately want to read more of - Tsuzuki is hilarious even if he looks like a girl at times...I swear, its the eyes.
