After challenging the Kingdom of Kouryu, they moved on to the Kingdom of Mist. There was no one there. But there was a small town beneath a lake and a huge, shining fish that served as the sun for that town. How cool is that?

Then they moved to the Spirit Kingdom. The atmosphere in the village where they arrived was very gloomy. This was because for the past two months, the children had gone missing. They suspected that it was due to the curse of Princess Emerald who had once ruled that kingdom. How depressing. Uuuh, when will this story be as bright as in the Kingdom of Hanshin?

One thing I ask. Sakura is always in the village. So how does she know that in front of Princess Emerald's palace there is a river that cannot be crossed because there is no bridge? Was I missing something?

Perhaps there is more to the story that we don't know yet. Maybe Sakura has some special knowledge or has heard rumors about the river and the palace. Or maybe there is a hidden path or a way to cross the river that she is aware of. We'll just have to wait and see as the story unfolds.

I still remember the plot twist of one of the characters who will appear later, so.... :>

This plot twist really left a deep impression on me. It completely changed the direction of the story and added a lot of excitement and mystery. When this character finally showed up, I was shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

The way the author designed this plot twist was very clever. It made me constantly guess and anticipate what would happen next. And when the truth was revealed, it all made sense and tied in perfectly with the overall narrative.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plot twist will develop further and how it will affect the other characters in the story. It's moments like these that make reading so enjoyable and engaging.

  “A man who points a weapon should be prepared to die by one.”

This thought-provoking statement holds a certain truth. When a person chooses to brandish a weapon, they are essentially entering a dangerous territory where the consequences can be severe. It serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, and those who engage in such behavior must be ready to face the potential outcomes.

I absolutely love this story and these characters!

They are so engaging and interesting that I can't help but be completely immersed in their world.

However, this particular installment was left as a cliffhanger, and it's driving me crazy!

It keeps me on the edge of my seat, constantly wondering what will happen next.

I find myself unable to break free from the story, constantly thinking about it and eagerly anticipating the next chapter.

It's a testament to the author's skill that they can create such a captivating narrative that leaves readers longing for more.

I can't wait to see how the story unfolds and what adventures the characters will embark on next.

This cliffhanger has truly hooked me and I'm excited to see where the story takes me.

2.5 This installment of the Tsubasa Chronicles was rather strange for me. After concluding in one world, the story then led through multiple others. It gave a distinct impression of being filler material. However, even the seemingly unimportant parts were more captivating than the mystery that emerged in the second half. It didn't appear to have a well-defined arc of its own. Despite this being one of my all-time favorite series, I found myself easily distracted and putting the book down on more than one occasion. It was a bit disappointing as I had high expectations. But perhaps there were hidden depths that I failed to fully grasp upon this initial reading. I will have to revisit it at some point to see if my perception changes.

July 2013

I have always been fascinated by the introduction of Kyle and the captivating legend of the yellow haired princess in Jade Country. Kyle, with his mysterious charm and unique qualities, immediately catches my attention.

The story of the yellow haired princess is like a magical tale that unfolds before my eyes. Her beauty and grace are said to be unrivaled, and her adventures in Jade Country are filled with excitement and wonder.

As I delve deeper into this introduction, I find myself completely immersed in the world of Kyle and the yellow haired princess. The details and descriptions paint a vivid picture in my mind, making it easy for me to imagine their every move and encounter.

I can't help but wonder what lies ahead for Kyle and the princess. Will they face more challenges? Will their paths continue to intertwine?

The introduction has left me with a sense of anticipation and a desire to know more about their story. I look forward to uncovering the secrets and mysteries that await in the pages of this enchanting tale.

I have a strong preference for character-driven content over stand-alone stories. As a result, I didn't enjoy the horror part involving the Princess as much as the first story in the volume.

In this particular book, we did gain some insights into Shaolan. However, to be completely honest, I have a greater fondness for Fye and Kurogane, with Fye being especially captivating.

He is so mysterious! There is an air of enigma surrounding him that keeps me constantly intrigued. His actions and words seem to hint at a deeper, more complex story that I can't wait to uncover.

While the horror aspect with the Princess had its moments, it just didn't resonate with me as strongly as the characters of Fye and Kurogane. Their interactions and the development of their relationship add an extra layer of depth and interest to the overall narrative.

I'm looking forward to seeing how their stories unfold in future installments and hope to learn more about the mysterious Fye.

This volume's world is truly one of my favorites so far.

It's as if the characters have stepped right out of a period film and into this captivating story.

The attention to detail in creating this world is simply remarkable.

Every aspect, from the architecture to the clothing, transports the reader back in time.

It's like being able to experience a different era firsthand.

The atmosphere is so rich and immersive that it's easy to get lost in the story.

I can't wait to see what other adventures await in this wonderful world.

It truly is a delight for the senses and a treat for any reader who loves a good period piece.

I highly recommend this volume to anyone looking for a unique and engaging reading experience.

At this juncture, I'm rather uncertain about the extent to which I truly appreciate this series.

As the series unfolds, the art appears to be experiencing a bit of a decline. It doesn't possess the same level of charm and detail that I've come to expect from CLAMP's works.

Moreover, the story itself fails to captivate me as much as their previous endeavors. It lacks the depth and complexity that usually keeps me engaged.

For me, this installment definitely gives off a sense of being "rushed." The pacing feels a bit off, and some of the plot developments seem rather forced.

I hope that in the upcoming volumes, CLAMP will be able to address these issues and bring the series back to its former glory.

This might be my favorite volume so far.

Although there is a lot going on, the action is a bit more subdued, which allows for more time for the characters to grow and develop.

I am really enjoying the "fairy tale" storyline that runs through the second half of the volume. It has me on the edge of my seat, eager to see how it will be resolved.

Also, the running gag of Fai's names for Kurogane and the way Mokona teases Kurogane are some of my favorite little details that add an extra layer of charm to the story.

These elements work together to create a volume that is both engaging and entertaining, and I can't wait to see what the next volume has in store.

This experience was very fun indeed.

It straddles two extremely interesting dimensions, which makes it truly captivating.

In the middle, there was a short visit that added an extra layer of intrigue.

While I'm not entirely sure if I enjoyed it to the exact same extent as volume 3, there's no denying that it was good stuff.

The unique combination of the two dimensions and the unexpected short visit made for a memorable and engaging encounter.

It left me with a sense of wonder and a desire to explore more.

Overall, it was a great experience that I would highly recommend to others.

Whether you're a fan of the previous volumes or new to this world, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.

So, don't miss out on this exciting adventure!

Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, and Fai embarked on a journey through approximately four dimensions. During their adventure, they managed to locate four feathers.

However, when Sakura regained some of her memories, there was a particular part that eluded her. She couldn't recall a birthday party she had attended. Specifically, she didn't know who was sitting next to her. She had a vague recollection of talking to someone in the chair beside her, but when she tried to picture the person, there was no one there.

Sakura persisted in her attempts to remember who it was, but her efforts were in vain. No matter how hard she thought, nothing came to mind. The reason she couldn't remember was because she would never be able to recall who Syaoran was before. This memory loss added an extra layer of mystery and complexity to their already perilous journey.
