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.

Clamp is a renowned name in the world of manga and fantasy. Their art and writing style are truly captivating and unique.

Their works are filled with intricate details, beautiful character designs, and engaging storylines that draw readers in and keep them hooked from beginning to end.

For manga and fantasy lovers, Clamp's works are an absolute must-read. Whether it's the magical world of "Cardcaptor Sakura" or the complex and mysterious "XXXHolic," each series offers a different and unforgettable experience.

Their ability to create vivid and immersive worlds, along with their talented artistry, makes Clamp one of the most beloved and influential manga artists of all time.

If you haven't yet discovered the wonderful world of Clamp, now is the time to do so. You won't be disappointed.

(See book 1 review for a complete review of this series)

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.

3.5/5

The book was an absolute masterpiece. It captured the essence of a bygone era with its vivid descriptions and engaging plot.

As I turned the pages, I was transported to a world filled with mystery, romance, and adventure. The characters came to life, their emotions palpable and their stories captivating.

The illustrations, such as the one shown here , added an extra layer of charm to the already enchanting narrative.

It was a book that I couldn't put down, and one that I will surely cherish for a long time to come.

I really liked the change in the turn of the dimensions. It makes you rethink and wonder if the time could have been changed or how we can do small things that will change the destiny of several people in the future.

The short story at the end, in a detective style, was undoubtedly perfect. It added an element of mystery and excitement to the overall narrative.

The way the story was crafted, with its unexpected twists and turns, kept me on the edge of my seat.

I found myself completely engaged in the plot, eager to find out what would happen next.

Overall, it was a great read that left me with a lot to think about.

I still truly enjoy this manga. It has always managed to capture my attention and keep me engaged with its unique characters and interesting plotlines. However, among all the storylines, the Piffle race is probably one of my least favorite. The Piffle race seems to lack the depth and excitement that I usually expect from this manga. The characters involved in this storyline don't seem to have as much development as in other parts of the manga, and the overall plot feels a bit rushed and disjointed. Maybe it's just my personal preference, but I found myself not as invested in the Piffle race as I was in other storylines. Nevertheless, I still look forward to reading the rest of the manga and seeing what other adventures and storylines it has in store for me.

In the original story, not in Tsubasa, the ending for Ashura and Yasa is still tragic. It turns out that King Yasa has long passed away. His current form is due to an illusion created by Sakura's wing feather. Ashura finally takes that wing feather and returns it to Syaoran. After that, he seizes the moon castle and requests that King Yasa can live again. However, his request is too heavy to be granted, and thus the castle collapses. Ashura refuses to follow his children to escape.

After that, Syaoran finally learns that Kurogane and Fye, who are King Yasa's children, are actually his comrades. Only, the two deliberately pretend not to know Syaoran so that Syaoran can face them seriously and thereby improve his swordsmanship skills. Here, the part that Kurogane cannot communicate with Fye because Mokona is not with them is further strengthened. The retcount continues, yes. Ahahaha. It seems that many people will ask about this this time.

Syaoran doesn't expect that his words to Ashura-ou's subordinates will change the future in the country of Shara. Those words are: If you find the remains of these two kings in the ruins of the moon castle, make sure to bury them together. Don't let them be separated.

It turns out that Ashura's request to Yuuko before the moon castle collapses is: "Make me and Yasa the gods for the next generation. As a sign that there is a request that cannot be granted by the gods."

When Syaoran's team returns to the present time, the country of Shara is already peaceful. The two statues of Yasa and Ashura are placed side by side. And because of this, the earthquake does not occur, so the residents of Yuukaku District and Shara Shrine no longer have a reason to fight again. Yuuko's power actually extends to changing fate and time and space.

After obtaining Sakura's wing feather, Syaoran's team moves to a modern country where they have to participate in the Dragonfly Race to win the battery containing Sakura's wing feather. In that world, they meet almost all the "doubles" of the people they met in the previous worlds. Even Dr. Kyle Londart is there!

However, in the middle of the race, a strong wind blows and blows away most of the participants. Can Syaoran's team win the Dragon Race?
