Gate 7

In the early 2010s, Dark Horse published Gate 7, a compact four-issue series from the legendary all-female manga collective CLAMP, with primary art by member Mokona. The story follows a high school student who stumbles into a hidden, magical Kyoto where historical figures like Oda Nobunaga fight as warriors in a secret conflict. Though brief, this series showcases CLAMP’s signature lush, intricate character designs and their talent for blending Japanese history with fantasy. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained entry in CLAMP’s American-published catalog, offering a quick but vivid glimpse into their imaginative world-building.
