October 2013: 5 Stars

Wow! I discovered that so many things took place in this volume! It was truly an exciting read.

Spoilers:

Sakura emerged victorious! Hurray! xD Her psychic ability is truly captivating and it significantly enriches her character. It gives her an added dimension that makes her even more endearing.

Doctor Kyle! Grrrrrrrrr! I couldn't help but swear out loud when he showed up and everything seemed to be lost. However, thank goodness for Mokona and its (his? her?) secret techniques! But the doctor's appearance seemed rather random. What exactly does he have to do with all of this? Why is he so determined to obtain Sakura's feathers?

And Kurogane :3 Awww, I adored learning a little more about his relationship with Princess Tomoyo. It made me have an even deeper affection for his character. His connection with her adds a layer of complexity and depth to his personality, making him even more fascinating.

Por fin concluye esta aventura por el país de Piffle.

The race, in the end, was a bit obvious in terms of who the winner would be, but the entire development has been exciting.

Each of the protagonists shows growth in their personalities. As they progress, they become more confident and sure of behaving as they truly are. Something that helps a lot is that they are together and support each other.

As always, the jokes that Fye makes to Kurogane are really great, and in this dimension, it turns out to be very funny. This time, Kurogane proves to be the most responsible person and the one who cares about the well-being of each one, despite his appearance of indifference.

There is still more to learn about Fye, and I'm still waiting to reach the volume where they explain a little more about him.

The one who turns out to be the accomplice of the villains didn't entirely surprise me because it generates a small suspicion in you at the beginning, and when it's discovered who it is, it's evident that it couldn't be anyone else but him. Apparently, it will be a person they will encounter again later, but what makes them distrustful is the fact that now they will have to distrust a little all those they meet again and who have the same face as those they knew before, since they won't know who is different and who will be the same people they knew previously, who is a friend or who is an accomplice of the bad guys.

To finish, what surprised me was Tomoyo. I didn't imagine the role she would play at the end. I still have a lot of curiosity to know what the relationship is that Kurogane has with her in her dimension.

It has been a good end for this adventure in this world. Now, on to the next volume and the next adventure.

Highly recommended.

Carinissimo :3

Carinissimo is an Italian term that means "dearest" or "most beloved." It is a term of endearment often used to express affection and love for someone special.

When we use the word Carinissimo, it is as if we are showering the person with warmth and tenderness. It can be used between lovers, family members, or close friends.

The term has a certain charm and elegance to it, adding a touch of romance and intimacy to the relationship. It is a way to let the other person know how much they mean to us and how deeply we care for them.

Whether it is written in a letter, said in person, or used in a text message, Carinissimo has the power to make the recipient feel loved and cherished. It is a simple yet powerful word that can strengthen the bond between two people and bring a smile to their face.

So, the next time you want to express your love and affection, consider using the term Carinissimo and see the effect it has on the person you care about.

Finally, the arc of the Piffle Kingdom ends! Sakura is the only one in the entire team who manages to reach the goal and who, for the first time, claims her own pen.

During the different phases of the race, we noticed that someone was deliberately interfering with the competitors. Although at first we didn't know who was behind all that, eventually the mystery is revealed.

Well, I'm grateful that this arc has finally ended because it's one of the ones that feels more like filler than anything else. Princess Tomoyo and Sakura become friends in this kingdom, yes, but really there isn't much to take away from the two and a half volumes that the arc covered, except that we see characters who have already made their appearances before.

In fact, to be honest, I'm more eager to read the next volume because it's one of the arcs that I like the most, as it tells the story of Kurogane.

This volume contains chapters 83 to 90.

A rigged race has caused quite a stir, and there is also trouble brewing from the Dr. from Jade. This situation has created a tense atmosphere. Meanwhile, there is a dress specifically for Yuko. The details of the rigged race remain somewhat mysterious, but it is clear that something不正当的 has occurred. The Dr. from Jade seems to be at the center of some controversy, and it's not yet known what the full extent of the trouble is. As for Yuko's dress, it is likely to be a beautiful and perhaps even extravagant piece. Maybe it has been精心 designed to suit her style and personality. We can only wait and see how all of these elements will play out in the end.

For me, it is still a very weak band because they don't really progress much.

However, the second half did appeal to me in the end xD Nevertheless, I am now looking forward to finally having a new world and hopefully it will be better this time around oo.

This band has shown some potential in certain aspects, but overall, their growth seems to be somewhat stagnant.

The first part of their work didn't really catch my attention, but as I got to the second half, there were some elements that I found quite interesting.

I'm excited to see what this new world they are creating will bring. Maybe they will be able to overcome their previous weaknesses and present something truly remarkable.

Only time will tell, but for now, I'm keeping my hopes high and eagerly anticipating what's to come.

I take back what I said about having no favorites.

This volume is truly my absolute favorite!

From the moment I laid my eyes on it, I was captivated. The story within its pages unfolds in the most enchanting way, drawing me in and refusing to let go. The characters are so vividly brought to life that I feel as if I know them personally. Their adventures and challenges keep me on the edge of my seat, eager to turn the next page and discover what awaits.

The writing style is both engaging and beautifully crafted, making it a pleasure to read. Every sentence seems to be carefully chosen to create the perfect atmosphere and convey the emotions of the story.

This volume has truly exceeded my expectations and has become a cherished addition to my collection. I can't wait to explore it again and again, losing myself in its wonderful world.

In this volume of Tsubasa, we witness the conclusion of the epic race. Sakura and her friends have a precious chance to win another one of her memory feathers.

As expected, Sakura emerges victorious in the race. However, the plot twist regarding who was sabotaging the race is truly remarkable. The highly active and detailed artwork is simply wonderful, bringing the story to life in a vivid manner.

We are also presented with a proper confrontation with their rival, a mysterious character who bears an uncanny resemblance to Xxxholic's Watanuki, albeit with long hair and an antiquated wardrobe. Fortunately, Monoka's abilities come to the rescue and save the day. This turning point serves as a great catalyst for the larger plot lines, not just in the quest to regain Sakura's memories but also in other aspects of the story.

Overall, this volume of Tsubasa is filled with excitement, mystery, and engaging characters, making it a must-read for fans of the series.

Dec 2013 - It is truly a sad sight to see them leave Piffle. Oh, Kurogane! The journey now leads on to the next world.

As they bid farewell to this place, there is a sense of melancholy in the air. Piffle has been a part of their adventures, and leaving it behind feels like leaving a piece of themselves.

Kurogane, with his stoic exterior, perhaps hides his own emotions well. But one can sense the determination within him as he steps forward towards the unknown.

The next world awaits, full of mysteries and challenges. What lies ahead for them? Only time will tell. But for now, they must gather their courage and embrace this new chapter of their journey.

I truly love that Sakura finally got her moment in the spotlight. It was a precious opportunity for her to prove herself, to accomplish something significant, and to feel that she is an invaluable part of the team. Moreover, it was crucial for her to achieve this on her own merits, not relying on anyone else's means.

Also, what on earth?! Tomoyo in this world was observing Syaoran and said, "It's true. The way he pilots his machine is very much like the one I know." This statement has left me with a plethora of questions. Who is this other Syaoran that she has encountered? Is he a native of this world, or does he hail from another world? There also appears to be a certain fondness in the way she utters those words. Will we ever uncover the answers to these questions, or is this merely a reminder that there are individuals with the same faces or souls in other worlds?

I can't help but wonder and anticipate what further revelations and developments await us in this captivating story.

I finally got through it. It was a long and arduous journey, filled with countless challenges and obstacles. But I persevered, and here I am, ready to move on to volume 13.

I'm excited to see what this new volume has in store for me. Will it be as difficult as the previous ones? Or will it offer some new and interesting surprises? Only time will tell.

But one thing is for sure, I'm ready for whatever comes my way. I've learned a lot from my experiences with the previous volumes, and I'm confident that I can handle anything that volume 13 throws at me.

So here I go, into the unknown. Wish me luck!
