Legal Drug
(Lawful Drug / Gohou Drug)
Imagine an xxxHolic where Watanuki and Domeki were constantly placed in sexually stimulating situations and where every male around them seemed to be involved in some kind of same sex coupling... that's pretty much what you'll find in Legal Drug which has a very similar supernatural feel to xxxHolic but with twice as much fanservice.
The basic story follows two young men, Kazahaya and Rikuo who are working in a drug store / chemist and get sent on several missions, most of which involve something either homoerotic or mystical.
It's a very fun series yet at the same time dealing with very adult subject matters such as drug abuse and to a lesser extent, sex and relationships.
The series also crosses over directly with several of CLAMP's other series, most notably Suki Dakara Suki, several characters guest star and xxxHolic Kazahaya and Rikuo steal the vase that appears in xxxHolic Episode 16 and actually appear in Episode 6, Indulgence. The parallel dimensions that's accessed by walking between the lamp post and the wall in xxxHolic and Kobato. is also first introduced in Legal Drug.
Unfortunately a conflict with the Japanese publisher has put the popular series on hold but CLAMP has mentioned several times that they want to continue the series with an upcoming fourth volume seeming very likely.
Volumes 1, 2 and 3 have all been translated into English and are available from Amazon.
