Reading this brings back so much nostalgia for Cardcaptor Sakura. It's really interesting to see the alternative universe versions of these characters. It's like taking a trip down memory lane and exploring a whole new world at the same time.
I am a little behind on the rest of Clamp's works. I have Chobits on my list, and a few years ago, I tried xxxholic but didn't stick with it. I'm not sure why, maybe it just didn't click with me at that time.
Anyway, I'm curious to see how I will absorb this crossover. Will it be as engaging as Cardcaptor Sakura? Will it introduce me to new aspects of Clamp's storytelling? Only time will tell. But for now, I'm excited to dive in and see where this adventure takes me.
Der wievielte Reread ist das jetzt..? Keinen blassen Schimmer! :D
Tsubasa - RC is truly one of my all-time favorite manga series. What makes it so special is the concept of playing with different worlds and dimensions. In these various settings, the same people exist but lead completely different lives. Thanks to this, CLAMP was able to create a crossover series where potentially all the characters from their other works can appear. A prime example are the protagonists Sakura and Shaolan, whom we already know from the series Card Captor Sakura. However, here they are placed in a different context. I absolutely love this idea! And every time I find familiar characters in the panels, I feel an overwhelming sense of joy.❤️
This unique aspect of Tsubasa - RC allows for a rich and diverse narrative that keeps me engaged and excited with each reread. The exploration of different worlds and the interactions between characters from different series add an extra layer of depth and complexity to the story. It's like a magical adventure that never gets old.
¡Empieza la gran aventura!
This is one of the most impactful and entertaining introductions I've read, and that's considering I'm already familiar with the work of CLAMP.
In the first half of the volume, we get to know Syaoran and Sakura, who live in the Kingdom of Clow and have been friends since childhood. She is the princess and he works in the excavation of some ruins that apparently hide a power beyond belief.
However, that power calls to Sakura and when she responds, incandescent wings sprout from her back. But at the same time, she loses part of her consciousness. Syaoran, in trying to bring her back to her five senses, causes the feathers to scatter across several worlds and with that, her life begins to detach from her body.
Therefore, before something worse happens to the princess, he is sent by Priest Yukito to the current world of Japan, where he meets Yuuko, better known as the Witch of Dimensions.
At the same time, Kurogane, a ninja and extremely powerful swordsman belonging to an ancient Japan, is sent by Princess Tomoyo, under the condition that he learns and understands what true strength means.
On the other hand, Fay D. Flowright, a mage from the Kingdom of Celes, transports himself to the current Japan with the excuse of never returning to the world he is from, where King Ashura remains asleep.
According to Yuuko, they all have the same purpose: to travel through different worlds. But to have this ability, they will have to give something in return. Kurogane gives his katana, Fay the tattoo on his back, and Syaoran renounces the memories Sakura has of him. In addition, Mokona will help them travel through dimensions and recover the feathers (which translate to their memories and vitality).
The second part of the volume is the arrival of our group to the Republic of Hanshin. There they recover the first feather of Sakura, which was among Syaoran's clothes, and also discover that the inhabitants have a special power called kudan.
As I said at the beginning, it is one of the best-planned introductions and although this volume only covers chapters 1 - 5, the story slips through your fingers like sand. It is full of action and is so dynamic in presenting all the characters that it is a gem no matter how you look at it.
I can't wait to read the second one! Totally recommendable for those looking to read a great adventure!
This volume contains chapters 1 - 5.
