Tokyo Babylon
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Supernatural
Plot Summary (from ANN): Subaru Sumeragi is a 16 year old, cheerful and extremely caring Onmyou medium (the head of his family, the Sumeragi clan) who confronts and helps take care of ghosts and spirits with the help of his twin sister, Hokuto, and his gentleman friend, Seishiro. Subaru does his best to help anyone he meets, but the entire atmosphere of the polluted city of Tokyo in the 90s, brings about a feeling of desperation that threatens to drag Subaru's spirit down.
Queeny's Comment: Published in 1991, Tokyo Babylon is a prequel of sorts to X. It tells the story of two of X's key characters, Subaru and Seishirou (and Subaru's twin sister Hokuto.) The scans for the first five volumes are kinda rough, but it doesn't even matter. The story is still amazing. It's not a needed read for X, but I highly recommend it.

X
Genre: Drama, Supernatural
Plot Summary (from ANN): In the year 1999, the Dragons of Heaven and Earth will gather in Tokyo for the final battle for humanity's future. The Earth's future is placed into the hands of a youth named 'Kamui' whom will make a preordained choice, to become a Dragon of Earth and preserve the planet by ending human life or become a Dragon of Heaven and protect humanity from ruin.
Queeny's Comment: Mmmm... dark shoujo... oh how I love you. X is dark. X is violent. X is all sorts of angsty. X is unfinished. =( Yes, unfinished. It went on hiatus back in 2003, but that doesn't lessen it's worth. It starts out a bit slow, but once it gets going X tells a sad and touching story of 14 people thrown together by destiny and the people around them.

(Note: Volume 18.5 is the compilation of the last published chapters of X for years they were never seen in anything other than the magazine in which it was published, but recently a volume version was released. Also it comes after 18... MyDataBus is just dumb. =P)
And if you've finished all that... if you want more X chracter goodness check out Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. It's CLAMP's massive crossover project where they're attempting to connect everyone together. Lots of X character cameos. Less angst (well at least for the X cast.) Scans can be found here.
