I'm really enjoying this manga.

It has captivating storylines that keep me hooked from the very first page. The characters are well-developed and have unique personalities that make them easy to relate to.

The art style is also very impressive. The illustrations are detailed and colorful, bringing the story to life in a vivid way.

I find myself getting lost in the world of the manga, completely forgetting about everything else around me.

Whether it's the action-packed scenes or the more emotional moments, this manga has something for everyone.

I can't wait to see what happens next in the story and continue my journey with these amazing characters.

It's truly a great read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves manga.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle by the mangaka group CLAMP is like the other side of the xxxHolic coin. It's precisely because of that connection alone that I'm delving into this series.

My husband perused through approximately half of this series four or five years ago and had me watch the first disc of the anime which encompasses books one and two. Then, when we got immersed in xxxHolic, we returned to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle since the two are so closely intertwined. We've rewatched the anime twice more, and after enduring the anime again, I was eager to progress beyond this part of the series, even in manga form.

In volume two, the group reaches a place that resembles modern-day Osaka. For anyone acquainted with Osaka, they'll understand all the puns and visual jokes incorporated into the world. Everyone has a spirit animal for protection. These Kudan can be utilized in battles and bear a striking resemblance to Pokémon. The only distinction is that you can't "catch 'em all."

There's also a substantial amount of fighting, drawn out in the style you'd witness in Bleach or similar. Appearing this early on, the fighting serves as a distraction in both the anime and the manga. In the manga, it's perhaps even worse because it essentially functions as filler for the book, even when it's明显 being a parody.

3.5/5
The search for Sakura's feather continues, and suddenly Mokona senses its presence. At the same time, the leader of a team named Shougo, who uses his kudan to cause destruction in the city, challenges Syaoran to a duel as it seems that he also possesses a powerful fire-type kudan.

Kurogane and Fay also have a powerful kudan, but unlike Syaoran, they use it to defend themselves from the attacks and provocations of others.

Fortunately, they recover Sakura's feather and she finally wakes up. However, just at that moment, Syaoran feels all the weight of what he had to give in exchange to save the life of his most important person. Sakura will not remember anything related to Syaoran and that is something that breaks your heart whether you like it or not.

Now, I must admit that when seeing Syaoran's fighting style, I remembered the Syaoran of Card Captor Sakura. In that world, he was also good with elemental attacks, especially fire. On the other hand, we also see Touya and Yukito in this world, only here they are simple citizens, unlike the King and the Priest of the Clow Kingdom.

All this about alternate worlds (or dimensions) in which the souls still have the same connections has fascinated me from the beginning because it is something that I firmly believe in real life. I believe that, indeed, coincidences do not exist, and that we are destined to meet certain people on our path, whether for a short or long period of time.

The second volume contains chapters 6 to 13.

Volume 1

I really had a great liking for the part in the story where they became separated from Mokona.

It was truly an interesting and unexpected turn of events. Suddenly, they found themselves in a situation where they couldn't understand each other's languages. This added a new layer of complexity and challenge to their journey.

It made me wonder how they would manage to communicate and overcome this obstacle.

Additionally, the singer-villain and her sea of fanboys was an extremely awesome aspect.

The concept was unique and captivating. The singer-villain's allure and power, along with the loyalty and adoration of her fanboys, created a thrilling and exciting dynamic.

It made the story even more engaging and enjoyable to read.

Overall, these two elements really stood out to me and made the story a memorable one.
