TIME WILL TELL

The godlike being Ashura-ô has killed the equally skilled and mighty rival, Yasha-ô. But now Ashura-ô seems depressed. What this means to the country of Shura, none can tell...not even the five friends on a desperate journey through dimensions to find the memories of Princess Sakura - memories in the form of immensely powerful feathers. The five have been racing from world to world, separated and then pitted against one another as enemies. Now young Syaoran is at the center of the maelstrom - and only wits, luck, and some help from his friends will save the tiny band from destruction.

CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Currently, there are four members in the group.

In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well.

In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. They were well received at the convention, with 6,000 fans in attendance at their panel.

I really loved the story of Ashura. Although I haven't read RG Veda, the various characters are very interesting.

Since I have read all of Clamp's works, I liked it even more. The multiple presences and interactions, from Miyuki-chan to the trio in the academy, the characters from Clover and X. And I suppose I understood Ashura better, and the protagonists appealed to me more.

The story of Ashura seems to have a unique charm. It weaves together different characters and their storylines in a complex and engaging way. Each character has their own personality and motives, which makes the story more vivid and interesting.

Even though I haven't read RG Veda, the introduction of the characters in Ashura has already piqued my curiosity. I am looking forward to learning more about their backgrounds and how they will develop in the story.

Overall, I am really enjoying the story of Ashura and can't wait to see what happens next.

The Dragonfly Race is an extremely interesting event. It's not just any ordinary race.

What makes it even more special is that Sakura is participating in it. This shows a significant aspect of her growth - she is becoming independent.

Watching her take part in this race gives us a glimpse into her evolving character. She is no longer relying solely on others but is勇敢地venturing out on her own.

It's wonderful to see her embrace this opportunity and show her determination.

The Dragonfly Race is not only a test of speed and skill but also a platform for Sakura to展示her newfound independence.

We can't help but cheer for her as she takes on this exciting challenge.

I truly love that Sakura is a part of this race and look forward to seeing how she fares.

It's a great moment for her and for all those who are见证her growth.

I think I'm officially giving up on this series,

at least for the time being. While there are indeed some interesting bits here and there,

overall, there's just too little plot for my liking.

It feels as if the story is moving at a snail's pace,

lacking the excitement and momentum that I usually look for in a good series.

And even worse, there's very little character development.

The characters seem to remain stagnant,

not evolving or growing in any meaningful way.

I truly love a lot of CLAMP's other works,

so I really wanted to keep giving this a try.

However, after several attempts, I've come to the conclusion that it's better to spend the time I'm taking on this series on things I enjoy more.

There are so many other wonderful books, shows, and activities out there waiting for me,

and I don't want to waste any more time on something that doesn't bring me joy.

Maybe I'll come back to this series in the future,

but for now, it's time to move on.

After a year, I return to where I had left off...


I had missed all the characters to death!


I love these volumes ❤



It's been a long time since I last delved into this world. The anticipation is palpable as I open the pages once again. The familiar characters seem to come alive before my eyes, their stories pulling me in like a powerful current. Each one has their own unique charm and personality, and I can't help but become fully invested in their lives.


The author has done an amazing job of creating a vivid and engaging world that I never want to leave. I find myself completely immersed in the narrative, forgetting about everything else around me. These volumes are truly a treasure, and I can't wait to see what new adventures and surprises await me as I continue to read.

I truly love this series!

Each and every volume has the ability to introduce brand new worlds, fascinating characters, rich lore, and captivating mysteries. It's like opening a door to a whole new realm of adventure with every turn of the page.

The concept of being transported to the floating Moon Castle for a limited period of time in an attempt to conquer it is simply magical. It strongly reminds me of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In both, the presence of the moon and the constraint of having only a short time to complete tasks add an element of urgency and excitement. Going back multiple times to try again and progress further makes the experience all the more engaging and challenging.

I have a special affection for Tomoyo. Whether it's in this world or in Cardcaptors Sakura, she is always Sakura's biggest fan and hype-person. Her love for filming adds a unique charm to her character. I can't help but be drawn to her positive and enthusiastic nature.

This series has been generating a lot of buzz lately. The first book in the series set the stage with its engaging plot and well-developed characters. It introduced readers to a unique world full of mystery and adventure.



The story follows the protagonist as they embark on a journey filled with challenges and unexpected twists. Along the way, they meet a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motives and personalities. The author's writing style is vivid and descriptive, allowing readers to easily picture the scenes and events in their minds.



The series has the potential to be a real hit, especially for fans of the genre. However, like any series, it has its flaws. Some readers may find certain aspects of the plot a bit predictable or the pacing a bit slow at times. But overall, the series shows great promise and is definitely worth checking out.



Stay tuned for more reviews of the upcoming books in this series as we continue to explore this exciting world.

The first half of this volume deals with the conclusion of the previous arc. Here, King Shura ends the illusion of King Yasha, who was only "alive" thanks to the powers of Sakura's feather.

Although Syaoran and his generals try to save him, King Shura decides to sacrifice his life as his only wish was to revive the person he loved. Since it was impossible to fulfill, even for the castle that was supposed to have the power to grant any whim, he makes a deal with the Witch of Dimensions, Yuuko. As a result, in the future, both kings are worshipped as gods and also remain united instead of being at war all the time.

The second half of the volume is the start of a new arc in the Kingdom of Piffle. In this kingdom, a feather of Sakura is the prize in a dragon-fly race (very popular flying vehicles in that place). Most of the participants are people they have already met in the previous kingdoms. To make matters worse, Tomoyo Daidouji makes her second appearance, only this time she is the owner of a company promoting the race.

It is also the first time that Princess Sakura is going to act voluntarily to win the race and thus, recover her feather and with it, her memories.

Really, this volume doesn't have much that is interesting, except for the end of the two-king arc and the fact that Syaoran knows there is another one like him hidden somewhere. And of course, that his actions do have consequences in the worlds, although that was to be expected.

In conclusion, I hope the next volume is much better!

This volume contains chapters 66 to 73.
