I would rate and review this book for all of the volumes--all 28 of them. At first, what intrigued me was the fact that Sakura and Syaoran from CCS were back in somehow different adventure. But when I started to read it, I was completely wrong. This story told about a whole new adventure that had no--or just a slight--connection to CCS. In this story, CLAMP managed to gather all of the characters they had created and put them into different roles--in a parallel universe, they say, so the soul is the same yet they act in different roles in different worlds. In the first few volumes, I found the story to be rather constant and not very much like a typical CLAMP work. I was about to stop collecting this story when the Tokyo Arc began in volume 15. From then on, the story spiraled and twisted in an amazing and intriguing plot--peeling away the darkness of the characters, their sins, their masks--and all in all, it ended with an open ending that, actually, was not too satisfying but there was no other way to end this better. It made us dragged back to the beginning of the (new) dimension journey. Overall, this series had its ups and downs. The beginning was a bit slow and unremarkable, but the middle and end made up for it with its complex and engaging plot. The characters were well-developed and the art was beautiful, as always with CLAMP. However, the open ending left me with some unanswered questions and a bit of a letdown. Nevertheless, I would still recommend this series to fans of CLAMP and those who enjoy complex and imaginative stories.
