Just in case people are confused: Ashura is genderless. He is neither a boy nor a girl. He is referred to as "he" because it is more of a rational way to address him than "it". You will find out why and how Ashura was born genderless near the end, but the focal objective was to make him unable to pass his bloodline through reproduction. Even though this series is Clamp's first big project, it is a really complex and phenomenal series (although you should be prepared for the ending.)
