The Man of Many Faces (in Japanese 20面相におねがい!! or 20 Mensō ni Onegai!!) is a manga by CLAMP about a nine year old boy named Akira Ijyuin (Ijuin Akira) who steals beautiful and valuable objects to please his two mothers, known to the public as the dashing, clever thief named Man of 20 Faces.
One moonlit night he meets Utako Ogawa, who is heartbroken because the teacher she loves doesn't love her back, and they start to talk about love and relationships and decide to go steady. This is one of CLAMP's earliest original works and is a prequel to CLAMP School Detectives. Though never animated, it did spawn a drama CD.
The manga is published in English by TokyoPop and retains its right to left format.
