INTO THE MOUTH OF THE BEAST

Princess Sakura's memories are scattered across multiple dimensions - and now she and Syaoran are part of an unlikely group of friends traveling from world to world to find them. Unfortunately the memories have been transformed into immensely powerful magical feathers, and those who possess them are seldom willing to give them up without a fight. The quest takes Syaoran's odd bunch to a jungle world where helpless creatures are being terrorized by a sacrifice-demanding beast. When Syaoran, Mokona, and Sakura are separated from Fai and Kurogane, each group finds themselves on opposing sides of a conflict that threatens to destroy the future of a troupe of young women performers...and possibly the entire world!

[born: 16 Jun 1968, Kyōto; bloodtype: A]

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 liked the short story at the end.

However, it's okay. Although I thought they would follow Seishiro, they didn't.

Well, we will continue with the story and I'm liking it.

I find the plot quite engaging and it keeps me hooked.

The characters are also well-developed and their actions and decisions add to the overall interest of the story.

Even though the direction may not have been what I initially expected, it has still managed to hold my attention.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the story progresses and what new twists and turns it will take.

Overall, it's been a pleasant reading experience so far.

I really loved the scarffed rabbits. They were SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

AINT THEY!

In this volume, we embark on a journey to two fascinating worlds. The first world we visit is WAY too fast, and Fai suspects that there is something fishy going on.

The other world is also quite interesting. It is a place full of hot chicks on a circus, and there are two teams. Each team has a god that they worship, and these gods are against each other.

However, we don't get to know that much about the world of Sharha or Sarha (whatever it is called). I guess we will have to wait until the next volume to figure it out.

The story seems to be full of mystery and excitement, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

The image of the scarffed rabbits adds to the charm of the story, making it even more appealing.

Overall, this volume has left me eager for more.

Meh....

Nulla di che :(

This simple expression seems to convey a sense of mild disappointment or indifference. It's like a sigh that escapes when something doesn't quite meet our expectations or fails to elicit a stronger reaction.

Maybe it's used when we encounter a situation that is just okay, not bad but not great either. It could be a meal that tastes average, a movie that doesn't really engage us, or a conversation that lacks depth.

"Meh" and "Nulla di che" are both concise ways to express this feeling. They allow us to communicate our lack of enthusiasm without having to go into long explanations.

Sometimes, using these words can also be a way to downplay our emotions or avoid getting too worked up about something. It's a way to say, "Oh well, it's not a big deal."

Overall, while these expressions may seem unremarkable on their own, they can add a touch of authenticity and relatability to our conversations.

I'm truly overjoyed to witness that Sakura has been evolving into a more assertive and strong character as the series progresses.

The initial storyline, which revolved around a country filled with furry creatures, appeared to be a bit disjointed and hastily put together. It felt as if it was shoehorned in without proper development.

However, the second half of the series was a significant improvement. The plot became more engaging, and the character arcs started to take shape in a more meaningful way. Sakura's growth was particularly notable, as she began to stand up for herself and make decisions that were true to her character.

Overall, I'm looking forward to seeing how the series continues to unfold and how Sakura will further develop as a character. I hope that the writers will continue to explore her potential and give her more opportunities to shine.

The omake of Mokona inviting them to eat was what saved this volume from being one of the least memorable within the story.

The part about the rabbits, although I know it will have relevance later due to the words of Kurogane and Fye who are realizing that they are being observed by someone with abilities similar to Yuuko, felt quite rushed to my taste.

Perhaps more time could have been spent developing this aspect, exploring the significance of the rabbits and the implications of being watched.

It would have added depth and intrigue to the narrative, making it more engaging for the reader.

Nevertheless, the overall story still has its charm and the omake provided a welcome break from the more serious plotlines.

It was a lighthearted moment that brought a smile to my face and reminded me of the unique characters and world that the author has created.

Hopefully, future volumes will continue to build on this foundation and deliver an even more captivating reading experience.

This volume is divided into two parts.

In the first part, after Mokona transports them to another world without any notice, the group gets separated. On one side is Sakura, Syaoran, and Mokona, while Fai and Kurogane are seemingly close, so they don't take long to reunite.

Some creatures very similar to talking rabbits attack Syaoran and the princess. However, after that small misunderstanding, they explain that they wanted to use Syaoran as a sacrifice because, apparently, there is a powerful beast that has been depleting their food and destroying their homes. So, thinking it might be a feather, he decides to help them defeat the said beast.

However, thanks to the help of Sakura, who can hear the laments of those without a voice, they realize that there was actually never a beast, but rather a tornado that accidentally trapped the feather.

Needless to say, in these chapters, nothing very significant occurs except for the fact that Kurogane and Fai, since they started the journey, know that they are being watched by someone other than the Witch of Dimensions.

In the second part, our group arrives at the Kingdom of Shara. Here, there are two groups that seem to have had a long-standing feud. On one hand, we have a circus company consisting only of women who perform shows throughout the kingdom. But when they return to their hometown, disasters occur, or so claims the opposing group, which is made up of men who seem to follow some kind of cult.

The girls protect the statue of the god Ashura, and the boys protect that of the god Yasha, who are said to have been eternal war rivals. However, this volume ends with a cliff-hanger as Mokona suddenly transports them to another world within the same world they were in.

Now, as I said, this eighth volume doesn't contribute much to the story. Rather, it serves as a break between two arcs that, in my opinion, are extremely interesting. It's a time to relax and for us to better understand the relationship and past of Sakura and Syaoran.

The next one promises to be much better, so I can't wait to read it!

This volume contains chapters 50 to 57.

The group is actively engaged in the search to discover more feathers.

They are determined to leave no stone unturned in their quest.

With great enthusiasm and focus, they comb through various locations, hoping to come across these precious feathers.

The members of the group are well-prepared, equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to identify and collect the feathers.

They understand the importance of these feathers, not only for their beauty but also for the valuable insights they can provide.

Whether it's in the forest, by the river, or in the fields, the group is committed to finding as many feathers as possible.

Each feather they find is like a little treasure, adding to their growing collection and expanding their understanding of the natural world.

As they continue their search, they look forward to the exciting discoveries that lie ahead.

I'm truly exhausted from penning down these reviews. To be honest, I don't have a great deal of affection for the concept of this particular world. It just doesn't seem to resonate with me on a deep level.

Nevertheless, there are certain aspects that cannot be ignored. The art in this world is truly remarkable. The detailed illustrations and the unique visual style add a certain charm and allure.

Moreover, the characters are also well-developed. They have their own distinct personalities, motives, and backstories, which makes them interesting and engaging. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for the overall concept, the art and the characters manage to keep me somewhat interested in this world.

It's a bit of a love-hate relationship, really. I hope that in the future, the creators will be able to improve upon the concept and make it more appealing to a wider audience.
