I'm a fan of CCS, Clover, Magic Knight Rayearth, Angelic Layer, and Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. ^_^

I'm not ultra fond of most Clamp works, except for Cardcaptor Sakura.
x3 GOD, it's so adorable!~
EDIT: I also LOVE Wish. Koryu is muy sexay. <33

I'm more of an anime person than a manga person, but I also read Magic Knight Rayearth and thought it was quite good.

I read way more of their manga than I've seen on their anime forms (Just because they usually get rearranged if they ever end up being an anime/OVA. I end up preferring the manga. The story just works out for it better. Art's better too) 
Anyway, I've liked pretty much everything of theirs that I've read (Which is close to everything they've done. I missing some of their really early stuff like Chun Hyang and Veda, and some of their slightly more obscure titles like, Cluster, Sweet Valerians, and Suki , also their newest one, Kobato, all of which I'm still planning on picking up >_< )
There were a few I didn't love, but nothing that I didn't like. They have a few titles that are really special to me, either because they were one of my first or because they were exactly my thing. I think CLAMP's like that for everyone. They've got something everyone likes. I just like how everything ends up connecting later on (and I'm not only talking about Tsubasa, they’ve been crossing over since CSD.)

I like Clamp. They're good people.

Magic Knight Rayearth has always been one of my favorite manga- and so is Clover, which is the first manga I ever read......
I found Chobits to be a good read too. (though the anime was terrible)
Ive never been able to get into CCS or Tsubasa, but im currently reading Man of Many Faces... tho I cant really say much about it since im only on book 2....

Many Faces only has two books. The rest are untranslated novels, like Paranoia Detectives and the rest of the Clamp Campus Detectives (Which you’re kinda supposed to read before Man of Many faces 0_____0. Otherwise it’s all confusing, and kinda out of place.)

Campus detectives only has three (and also doesn’t end, just continues in novels), but the anime covers the rest of the story. I’d both watch and read it. That’s really fun ^_____^
There’s no Many Faces  anime ^^.

Right now, both manga are out of print from Tokyopop, but they’re still not that hard to find.

EDIT: I was being brain dead when I wrote this. I said '20 faces' instead of 'Many'. Why? Because I'm ON CRACK.

I love CLAMP's work! I've been collecting as much of their anime and manga that they have here stateside!

My favorite series so far by them would be Magic Knight Rayearth, followed by Card Captor Sakura and Chobits(still haven't finished the anime yet, but I love the manga).

My favorite CLAMP series that is manga only would be Wish.  That was a sweet story! I also liked Clover and Legend of Chung-Hyang. 

I'm currently collecting the XXXHolic manga and the RG Veda manga.  Both are my current CLAMP obsessions!

Oh, and the CLAMP school series have good books.  I liked Campus detectives and thought the Duklyon series was funny.  I've still got to read the 20 faces books.

Maybe I'm one of the few crazy people out there but I really don't like Clamp. They have a beautiful style to their art but ... I've never been able to get into their stories.
Then again, I haven't read that much of their stuff ... And it's been about two or three years since I've given it another try. Many of their stories just don't appeal to me, I guess.

I'm currently really into Tsubasa (LOVING IT EVERY BIT), been reading all the scanlations and stuff and from where it is now I don't think I'll ever be able to read/watch Cardcaptor Sakura and have that same 'awwww cute' feeling as I use to... :hangs head:

As for the rest of Clamp's manga, there are those that I love, like CCS, Chobits, Wish, Tsubasa and those I've never really gotten into, like X/1990. I haven't read any of RG Veda though =/

I watched XXXHolic and bought the manga. I wasn't as thrilled with Tsubasa Cronicle and the only reason I keep watching it is because of Kuro and Mokuna...and the referances to some of their other anime, especially XXXHolic and Chobits.

In my apartment at the moment I have some of Tsubasa (7-12) and all of Wish (it's only four volumes long) though I have to say wish is really cute. I still need to get the rest of tokyo babylon and my other manga shipped to me from Oregon, but so far most of their things are like crack. I loved CCS anime and I'm working on getting together the manga of it. Though the dub on CCS was terrible. I wanted to stab the people who raped it the way they did.
