Suki: A Like Story (Japanese: すき。だからすき, Hepburn: Suki. Dakara Suki) is a three-volume manga by Clamp. The title literally means "I like you, that's why I like you". It was published in English by TOKYOPOP (although their license has since expired).

Suki follows the story of Hinata Asahi, also known as Hina, a childlike teenager who loves teddy bears. She lives alone in her house and early in the story, her new homeroom teacher moves into the empty house next door. Shiro Asou, her new teacher, becomes her first crush and he seems to take an interest in her as well. However, this simple love story grows complicated as Shiro's interest in Hina is put into question as more sinister elements are placed in the story, all while forcing Hinata to grow up at the same time.

Hina's house is a large, two story home in a safe neighborhood. Shiro moves into the house next door to hers, to keep a watchful eye over her. Her house is (unbeknownst to her) tapped with multiple cameras and microphones, placed secretly by Shiro, to monitor Hina.

The girls-only high school that Hina attends and Shiro's place of employment. Outo High has also appeared in Legal Drug (along with Shiro and a graduating Hina).

Tokyopop licensed Suki: A Like Story for an English-language release in North America and published the three volumes from February 10, 2004 to June 8, 2004. However, all three are now out of print.

Suki, along with most of CLAMP's other titles, appeared in CLAMP's second music video, CLAMP in Wonderland 2, which was the first time the manga was animated.
