I think I have now finally caught up to where I fid she'd reading up to last time I started reading the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles series. Being reminded just how awesome it is! Still holds up! The actions scenes never fail to impress. Plot twists at an all-time high.

Can't believe Syaoran's martial arts teacher is reeking havoc in other worlds with one of Sakura's feathers in search for a way to gain immortality. Vampire twins? Sounds awesome, I hope we run into them at some point. Syaoran is so cool, knowing that he's not ready, but desperate and determined enough to unsheath his sword to try to retrieve a feather.

¡Por fin tenemos la conclusión del arco del Reino de Outo! Realmente la gran mayoría de enfoque es en la pelea contra Seishiro, y aunque éste resulta no ser lo que pensaban, sí se dispone a combatir a quien quiera cruzarse en su camino, sea inocente o no.

De hecho, gracias a que este viajero es poseedor de una pluma de Sakura, el Reino de Outo se encuentra en peligro. El balance se pierde y entonces, todos se dan cuenta de que se hallaban dentro de un juego de realidad virtual. Nuestro grupito llegó a un parque de diversiones, perteneciente al Reino de Edonis, y aquí los encargados, con tal de brindarles la mejor experiencia en el juego, borraron sus memorias.

Desafortunadamente, el poder de Seishiro provoca el caos en Edonis, y Syaoran se verá obligado a luchar contra él, aún si no tiene probabilidades de ganar.

Ahora bien, este volumen, como podrán darse cuenta, tiene un par de giros que te hacen devorar los capítulos, y para la gente que se queja de las escenas de acción, creo que les hace falta leer más manga (sobre todo de shonen y seinen). Las CLAMP tienen un estilo único, no sólo hablando de la estética de sus personajes o de la ropa que usan, sino que, en sus historias, siempre encuentro el balance entre acción, romance, drama, comedia, y desarrollo de personajes y de ambiente.

Ciertamente son unas autoras que han logrado lo que pocos, y eso es juntar todas sus historias en un crossover masivo en el que los personajes, de una u otra forma, interactúan sin perder la esencia original.

Sin embargo, sí debo admitir que este volumen tiene un final abrupto, todo a causa de que Seishiro también viaja a través de los mundos, con el único propósito de encontrar a unos vampiros gemelos. Así que, antes de que haya un ganador en tan intensa batalla, nuestro grupo apenas y tiene oportunidad de despedirse pues Mokona, sin explicación alguna, los traslada a otro mundo.

¿Qué irá a pasar después?

Este volumen contiene los capítulos 43 al 49.

To be honest, this volume was pretty fun to read. I wish the minor characters were recurring, but I know it's not quite as possible in this story. I liked the concept and the throwback to the Angelic Layer series, which I loved.

Such an interesting continuation of the story. Many twists and turns in this volume! I love Mokona and I really like that he's such a bigger part of the action in Tsubasa.

With oni acting strange and Syaoran's old mentor involved somehow, the group need to figure out what's gone wrong in this world. Also, where in the world (pun intended) could Sakura's next feather be? Mokona can sort of sense it, but it's both there and not there. Very strange.

The mysteries keep on piling up! I'm very curious to find out what Syaoran's forgotten past is all about and what the true motives of the villain behind the scenes is (and why the time-and-space witch has chosen to work against him). On to the next volume!
