This experimental work launched by Maaya Sakamoto CLAMP in 1997 combines the expression of movies with comics to show stunning visual effects and plot tension, so it has been highly praised. Perfect pictures, perfect storyboards, and poignant stories—the artistry of "clover" cannot be compared to ordinary works.

Are you the one who came to take me away? Retired soldier Liu F. Kazuhiko was ordered to escort a young girl to a place called Fairy Playground.

Born The four-leaf clover, which possesses huge magical power, cannot belong to anyone and must be alone forever.

But instead of living in that place of eternal loneliness, that isolated cage with only mechanical animals for company. .....She would rather realize a small wish and get that happiness...

Did Su get happiness? I think so, the lonely girl cherished that happiness, and The fairy playground was reduced to ashes in the flames.

The picture is exquisite, with a lot of white space, but it is undoubtedly a gray clover. It may not be commercially successful, but the quiet pain and helplessness are Enough to make you sigh for a long time...

The biggest feature of the interpretation of happiness is that it not only gives happiness to those who can own the clover, but also writes about the happiness of the clover itself.

The strong desire for happiness gradually affects our hearts. In the language of flowers, different numbers of clover leaves also have different meanings:

One leaf represents prayer - Representative figures: Weaving leaves

Two leaves, represent hope - Representative: Silver Moon

Three leaves, represent love - Representative: A B C

Four leaves, represent Happiness - representative character: Su

Su

The four-leaf clover has extremely strong magical power. "Su" represents "four". The clover is marked on the root of the left leg. He was taken to the laboratory since he was a child and lived alone without relatives or friends. After hearing Zhiye's song, he called her on the phone and began to long for happiness. So after Zhiye's death, he made a request to the elders—— Kazuhiko, who is loved by Oriha, takes her to the fairy playground, where she will end her life.

Oriha

A clover with a clover mark on her chest. The only ability is to predict his own death. Ai Kazuhiko, who loves to sing, is a bar singer. The entire story is accompanied by her and Su's singing. She was assassinated.

Kazuhiko

A retired soldier, his lover is Oriha. After Oriha's death, he received an order to escort a national secret, namely Su.

Silver Moon

Two-leaf clover, soldier. Clover mark on left wrist. He is Kazuhiko's friend. He was sent to hunt down C, and now he lives with Lan. Since 2 3 = 5, it is too dangerous for the two leaves and the three leaves to be together, so there is a self-destruction device in the brain.

Blue

Three-leaf clover. Original name C. Shamrock mark on right shoulder.

The A in the twins is a three-leaf clover. Sanye cannot survive for a long time after leaving the institute (time flows much faster than ordinary people). But after B was killed, C finally made up his mind to leave. Now he lives with Yin Yue and changed his name to Lan. He has very strong power, and in the story, he once used his superpower to send Su and Kazuhiko away.

A

Three-leaf clover. I care very much about my twin brother C, who is also Mitsuha. Care enough to not allow others to share. Therefore, when ABC and three people lived together as Sanye, A couldn't bear that C was nice to B, so he killed B. If the two of them join forces at Sanye's level, the five magisters are no match. Finally, I obeyed C’s request and went back to the institute alone. In this country there is a girl who is forever imprisoned, her name is Su.

I have never left this huge cage for more than ten years, always counting the minutes quietly with the mechanical pets.

The rulers of the country, the elders, paid close attention to Su's every move and were pleased with her indifference to the world.

It turns out that many years ago, this country implemented the "White Alfalfa Blooming Project" to search for children with strong abilities across the country. And the levels are divided according to the size of the ability: one-leaf clover, two-leaf clover, three-leaf clover, and the most powerful four-leaf clover.

Yiye's child has average abilities, and at most he can predict his own death date. Most of the children of Erye and Sanye use their own strength to serve the country.

But the four-leaf clover can only be imprisoned.

The reason is very simple. The only four-leaf clover, Su, has so much power that even if all the elders' magic power is gathered together, it cannot compete with it. If this girl belongs to someone, then that person will rule the world and can get any happiness they want.

So the elders suppressed their selfish motives and imprisoned Su in a cage.

Until one day, Su heard Zhiye’s singing on the radio waves.

Zhiye is a singer, beautiful and with a sweet voice. Her lover Ryu.F. Kazuhiko loves her very much, but Oriha knows that the two cannot be together forever.

Because Zhiye is a clover, he knows very clearly that his death is not far away.

Su controlled the radio waves and talked with Oriye on the phone, and the two quickly became friends.

Oriha talked to Su about her happiness and the regret that she would die soon. I don't know what to do.

Soon, Oriye was shot dead while singing. Kazuhiko was very sad.

At this moment, the government issued a mission order to Kazuhiko, a soldier, asking him to escort something to the Goblin Amusement Park. And promised that this was the last task for Kazuhiko.

Are you the one who came to take me away? Su looked at the man in front of him, whom Zhiye had heard about countless times, and smiled. Kazuhiko originally thought that this was a very simple task. He could reach the destination by teleporting through the machine. However, all the teleportation machines malfunctioned. Su and Kazuhiko came to a strange place. Kazuhiko had to slowly find the way to go to the Goblin Amusement Park. route.

Along the way, many people who coveted the four-leaf clover's ability came to snatch Su. Kazuhiko suffered a lot of injuries in order to protect her, and Su felt happiness for the first time.

Finally we arrived at the Goblin Amusement Park, but it was completely abandoned. Only a statue of a woman singing stood in the center, which was what we had always imagined the Oriole would look like.

Su said, Zhiye wants the three of us to come here together.

He Yan finally understood Su’s heart and was willing to make Su happy.

But things are far from over.

Some of the elders were afraid that Su would fall in love with Kazuhiko, so they decided to kill them first. In Goblin Amusement Park, Kazuhiko was almost killed trying to protect Su. In order to stop all this, Su fulfilled his promise.

It turns out that Su’s condition for asking Kazuhiko to escort him to the Goblin Amusement Park is that Su will end his life there.

Finally, Suhe Fairy Amusement Park, the happy place where Zhiye and her mother lived together, turned into a sea of ??fire.

Kazuhiko survived, and the only thing Su left to him was the mark of a clover.

I am happy.

As the cartoon expresses, everyone thinks that having a four-leaf clover can lead to happiness, but where is the happiness of the clover? And does the person who really gets the four-leaf clover get happiness again? ☆Astrological Hall——Su☆

Where is happiness, my friend, I will tell you. It's not in the shade, nor in sleep...it's just funny.

Funny.

The topic before us is: Since "the person who gets the four-leaf clover can get the whole world." Then why is the four-leaf clover itself not more willful? No need to use too much force, no need to destroy the world. Just a little, like an ordinary child, willful.

Why are girls so good? Obediently abide by the agreement, die obediently, and be suffocating. Could it be that it was an ending just for the sake of the ending? Could it be that the sisters once again set up a big mistake for us?

Maybe the sisters are sober. Sober as never before.

Su: "I had a dream, about a fairy."

Rabbit: "Morning."

Su: "Whose is this?" Where is the dream?"

Bird: "Morning."

Su: "I want to talk to the demon on the phone."

Whales want to drink water when they are sick. Maybe it’s because I’m ten times more lonely that I’m ten times more eager for happiness. Maybe Oriha's singing is to blame. It would have been nice not to have heard it. Then you won’t know that you can love, you won’t want to understand happiness, you won’t leave the exquisite birdcage, there will be no journey, and there will be no end of the journey. Being afraid of being alone and wanting to be with others is definitely not called love, but it will certainly give you the illusion of being in love. Fantasy and desire are entangled twins.

Who is Su falling in love with? Kazuhiko? Or weaving leaves? Or Kazuhiko whom Oriha knitted for her? Or the Oriha she felt in Kazuhiko? Or are you simply "in love" with such a wonderful feeling?

Su’s love happens suddenly. Its object may be everything in the unknown world, or it may be nothing. But it did happen: independent of love, it only concerns one person, love.

But what about happiness?

The first leaf of the clover represents prayer; the second leaf represents hope; and the third leaf represents love.

There is another leaf, the fourth leaf: representing happiness. A very rare four-leaf clover, God knows where it grows. In other words, you pray, hope, and love, but you may not necessarily get happiness.

What definition do we give to happiness? Being with your lover until death is also a kind of happiness, and the flash of lightning between your eyes is also a kind of happiness. Even on the balcony in the early morning, just like the brighter morning glow, watching the newborn puppies trying hard to open their eyes will be filled with the fireworks of happiness.

How can happiness be defined? It is a fleeting paradise. On its unreachable battlements, there are always groups of swans flying down in an endless stream, with a loud sound of wings. They were in chaos, and their blue-gray wings wiped away our illusions and swept away the feeling of happiness. We are teetering on the verge of collapse and are at a loss as soon as we stand. How many cells and time we waste can only prove happiness but not prove it.

For Su, what is happiness?

A person can spend a whole life waiting for the arrival of happiness without expecting that the scheduled moments of happiness will happen before his eyes. The strangest thing is that if it looks exactly like what you dreamed of, the happiness will be forgotten. Without memory, dreams would be forgotten. And memory is in the blood, it's like a big ocean in which everything is washed away. In addition to cellular metabolism, there is something more substantial than life: reality.

What should Su’s choice be? Stay with all her strength, and then slowly get to know this man who may not be the one she loves, and make sure again and again that the person he loves is not her? Or leave with beautiful memories and enjoy your own little bit of thin but clear happiness forever?

Su has the right to choose.

And what she chooses must be what she needs.

The first leaf, the second leaf, the third leaf...

What about the fourth leaf?

Open your slender fingers and look through the gaps, there is a strong light. Oriha's sweet singing, Kazuhiko's warm palms, journey and sunshine and air, blood and smiles, crying, hugs, blessings, and the beautiful and huge fairy statue. Walk. Happiness is vivid in my mind.

"If you find the 'four-leaf clover', you will get happiness. However, please keep it a secret..."

Happiness is within your fingers. "Found it..."

☆Jiujiu Love Story——Su & Kazuhiko☆

"I met you out of nowhere, fell deeply in love with you, there is no reason..." When Su and Kazuhiko met for the first time, the infinite reverie in their hearts turned into this lyric. "Please take me away", the lonely Su became a princess in "CLOVER", like a duckweed, held by the prince by the wrist, carefully walked out of the birdcage and walked towards the terminal of the four-leaf clover.

We may hear the story of a man and a girl, or hear the story of another woman, singing in a low voice in the air, or maybe vaguely smell another past event, with a faint smell.

Then we raised our eyes, and our eyes were blurred in the song that had not yet been whispered by the goblin. The story begins like this, with an old-fashioned gramophone and microphone standing on the stage, a strange gang fight in the reinforced concrete world, but no living bird can be found. This is our world. We can only watch in silence the white flowers blooming on the four leaves of the black curtain.

Oliye's death brings sadness and ending, but also the beginning of happiness. The girl who longs to be loved at one end of the birdcage, the girl named Four-leaf Clover, no longer chooses to hesitate, her frozen emotions have thoughts and pursuits, and her first and last wish brings a happy dream and clear feelings. And intoxicating lovesickness.

Kazuhiko, who doesn’t know where to place his heart, finally comes out of himself. For both of them, a new future can fill the broken past. The only important thing became two choices. Kazuhiko, who has always been in love with Oriha, shared Oriha's love and Kazuhiko's care, even if it was only for a short moment.

"I long for happiness...to be your happiness..." If happiness cannot be controlled by "you" and cannot be shared with "you", then for Su It was meaningless, so

She chose Kazuhiko in order to make up for her confusion and pain at the same time.

On the day when they finally arrived at the Fairy Playground, Su sat on the fairy stone statue and sang - a song she and Oriha completed together - and then, Su got happiness, and the moment the song sounded was so wonderful, like a mosaic The diamonds on the fairy stone statue shine with happiness and sadness.

Everyone is looking for the four-leaf clover in despair and desire. Kazuhiko, who got the four-leaf clover, are you happy?

Valentine's Day Support Team:

The prince gave the princess happiness, but did not protect the princess, because the prince loved the singing elf. Kazuhiko's mission failed and he lost the princess he didn't love, but the sporadic time made him think of loving Su. In a short period of time, he accumulated subtle emotions. It's not just lovers who love and cherish Su. The proof of failure remains in the center of Kazuhiko's palm, just like the scars on Kenshin's face will not fade away.

The use of "CLOVER" dots is very rare among CLAMP's works, and the intertwined images of constantly jumping dynamic and static states show you the theme of the work. The large background of pure black or pure white, the gaps between changing surfaces and a large number of frames that jump out of the screen, as well as the use of symbolic montage and editing montage techniques, make it feel like a movie. The painting style of "CLOVER" is CLAMP's innovation in recent years. With the beginning of the serialization of "CLOVER", the graphic expression of comics has reached a new level.

The Fairy Playground of Dream Garden

The so-called Happiness is probably always It's like this: the grass looks distant but not close, and I don't know how blessed I am when I'm in the midst of blessings.

She said, take me away. Running or flying, stretched wings, intertwined hands, distant songs, flickering smoke, fluttering lights, warm embraces, and other momentary flashbacks are framed discretely in a large expanse of black and white. Freeze-frame or close-up turns the night-blooming epiphyllum into immortal specimens. Only then can we get a glimpse of the leopard through this tube, and guess what thoughts sprouted at the moment of the aurora's shadow. Most of the people involved are unaware of it. Nothing can really be known or decided by others.

We watched them all the way, Su and Kazuhiko—let’s let the previous events between Kazuhiko and Oriha, and Yinyue and A and B sink into the hearts of those who should remember— The two men leave and find the Goblin Playground. In the process of being happy, I thought this way - I know this view has become a cliché - when I arrived at the amusement park, a kite string was placed at the bottom.

The silhouette of the Fairy Playground looks like a construction site under construction. There is no need to lay out all the incredible details in it. There are searchlights at the nearest and farthest places from it in the dark night. All kinds of weird things. The Fairy Playground, it is always obtained before leaving, it does not exist but is always there, its gorgeous simplicity, complexity and transparency are full of contradictory temptations. It is the castle in the fairy tale to the east of the sun and to the west of the moon. It comes and goes in a hurry, it is a mirage, it is as dazzling as the white light at the beginning of the universe, it happens and ends at the street corner, it was only founded on the most ordinary prayer of an ordinary girl - the fairy playground, it is impossible in itself A four-leaf clover means losing at the same time.

She always sang in the fairy playground, and the merry-go-round gave her wings. Sou and Kazuhiko were flying next to Oriha's fairy statue, holding hands as if they were lovers. The pure happiness is like running water and cannot be grasped, it is as far away as the horizon. When it is obtained, the sea and rocks are rotten and the twilight is all around. There is an indescribable shape imprinted on each of our hearts, which drifts away in an instant. In the end, there was only one leaf left in Kazuhiko's hand, which was proof that everything had happened. The goblin crooned endlessly.
