Synopsis"The world is a very small place, but for those who know it...it is very, very large. And the world, when it is viewed by those who 'know'— is far larger than just one world can hold!"
The famous CLAMP brings back the characters from all their creations for an ultimate showdown in this multi-dimensional tale.
This is the story of four travelers, bound by fate and by prophesied future. Sakura is the princess of Clow Country, and possessor of a strange power that promises to change the world. Syaoran is an aspiring archaeologist and her childhood friend. When Sakura is endangered by the plan a certain man has for the future, the princess' memories are scattered across dimensions in the form of feathers, and Syaoran is forced to go on a desperate journey to retrieve them. They are accompanied by Fay D. Flourite, a magician running from the horrible truth of his past, and Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja trying to get back to his world. However, the ability to cross worlds demands a great price, and each of them must pay the Dimensional Witch with what he or she values most. In order to save his princess, Syaoran must give up his relationship with her. Even if he gathers all of Sakura's memories, she will never remember their past together...
But the world is not so simple. The very moment these four made this decision, their destinies were sealed into a tragic course...as everyone in the group has their own secrets. Indeed, this is an alternate reality, where whatever you least expect can happen—and does. |

*Just to warn you, this is the first review I have ever written, so it might not be that good.*
This by far is probably one of the best mangas out there that I have ever read. I have never been hooked on a manga for so long and still kept buying the next volume as soon as it came out without taking stopping ever 5 volumes. If you have ever read any of CLAMP's other works you'll sure to be able to enjoy this one.
Story:
I have to give it a ten. It's original and fresh. This is the very first manga I have ever read that the story takes place in many different places. The plot seems to be never ending because they have to find Sakura's feathers. But that is what I like about it because I really would hate to see the end of such a great manga.
Art:
I give the art a 9. Clamp just has a way with their drawings that I find very unique. It reminds me a little of a duo tema of an amateur and an expert workinbg together. But that's what gives Tsubasa it's charm.
Character:
Another 9. I love how we meet new and old characters that are originally from other Clamp works. The main characters fits right in to this story. I would have not chosen any of the other of Clamp characters to play the main roles.
Enjoyment:
I give this a 10. It has plenty of humor. There is no end to just how funny this manga can be. I just get the biggest kick out of Fai-san and Mokona. And the cliffhangers leave you wondering about the next chapter or volume which leaves much for you to think about what would happen in the next volume.
Overall:
Overall, it is a 10. Everything ties in just perfectly. The never ending supply of cliffhangers and humor. Also plenty of characters to meet and see. You can not but help to pick up this manga and read it over and over again. read more

tsubasa reservoir chronicles can be considered one of the most EPIC crossover series to date.
it is clamp's latest work, along with xxxholic (w/c is also amazing, btw). the two stories are connected, and although either can stand alone as its own series, it is also recommended that you read both to completely understand the story.
the opening plot is simple: the princess sakura has lost her memories and it is syaoran's task to get them back. along with a ninja who wants only to return home, and a mage who wishes never to go back (plus mokona, of course), they undertake the journey of a lifetime. on the way, they meet different people (some very familiar to us - especially those who are avid fans of clamp), and experience different things.
but as you immerse yourself deeper into the plot, it suddenly becomes more than a simple adventure story: it becomes the manifestation of all of the themes clamp has made their own: the strength of wishes, the bonds that can form between people, and the power of the deepest kind of love. Of how there can be no such thing as coincidence, only hitsuzen.
the art is simple and yet elegant, and of course, completely original. their bodies may not be perfectly proportioned (a common complaint) - but one can say that it is their signature style. one look and you can definitely identify it as a work of clamp.
there are four main characters (mentioned in the summary), aided by Yuuko, our beloved space-time witch (see xxxholic). some start off as no more than selfish brats, and others are so completely selfless they disregard themselves entirely. there are no mary sues (nor gary stus) in this series - each character has their own flaw, their own imperfections. every one of them is pained by the past.
and as they go along their journey, they grow up - are influenced by each other, and grow stronger as a result. i love how each of them faces their past and destroys the chains that bind them.
i loved the manga - the anime, not so much, except for the ova (see tokyo revelations), w/c was great, and stuck true to the manga plot.
at this point part of me wants to know how it ends (it is now at its last arc); the other half of me wants it to go on forever.
this series is brilliant - clamp never fails to amaze me - and i would definitely recommend it to those who would enjoy a heart-thrilling, mind-bending tale of adventure, magic and love.
i guarantee that this is one series that you will always remember.

The twin sister series of Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE by CLAMP. The story plot connects deeper more than the anime.
Seconding the above suggestion -- although you do not HAVE to read Tsubasa to "get" xXxHolic (or vice versa), characters from Tsubasa frequently make crossover appearances in xXxHolic (and vice versa), and these scenes will make very little sense if you are not familiar with both series.
If you're reading xxxHOLiC or Tsubasa but not the other series then you are missing out on part of the story. They are connected so you have to buy not just one series, but two! As they are both created by CLAMP they have a very similar style. xxxHOLiC is more focused on the supernatural stort stories which prop up main character development while Tsubasa is more character driven as the journeies they go through support them.
How are they similar? Well it's quite obvious. They both are by the same manga-ka and they cross over with eachother. Not to mention the are both very good!
Both of these CLAMP stories are connected from the start with minimal events, but later the connection between the the two becomes very important.
they're both from CLAMP and they crossover with eachother
The two series cross over each other every once in a while and the stories are connected to each other. However the two series have thier own original story line! Also in both xxxHoic and Tsubasa, you get to see some of CLAMP's old manga characters pop up here and there at certain times...I reccommend both to all! Especially those who are CLAMP fans!
Same mangaka..The storyline crosses over every so often..And even though the actual storyline of each manga is very different, the same aura of mystery and fantasy surrounds both..
You'll understand the plot better if you read the two series simultaneously, though Tsubasa focuses more on action and adventure while xxxHolic on the supernatural
xxxHOLiC is the sister series of Tsubasa. Tsubasa can be read on its own, you will get much more out of the experience if you read xxxHOLic along with it. Yuuko and Watanuki turn out to be of great importance to Tsubasa's storyline.
While the plot lines are a bit different, they are both by the same author and they occasionally intertwine. For example, in the beginning of "Tsubasa" Syoaran and the others meet with Yuko and we also see Kimihiro who is the main character in "xxxHolic". Both are awesome!
They are both by the same mangakas - CLAMP and both are interconnected.So its like the events happening during the same timeline to differnt people!! If you enjoyed TRC, you will love xxxholic!!!

Clamp began to recieve hype with the publication of Magic Knight Rayearth. Here, you can find the original Mokona! <3 It is a magnificent story where three girls - Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu - are transported into a magical other world that they must save. It is a very nice, short story spanning over three volumes. Highly reccomended!
In both, a group of people, who unfamiliar with each other, teleported to a different world and must accomplish their mission before returnning back home.
Step by step, the strangers become good friends and work as a team in order to finish their task.
Both manga have fantasy ,adventures, fights, comedy and drama.
They are both created by Clamp and have some crossover characters, like the cute rabbit like creature Mokona.
Both have Mokona in them and both of them have a fairly epic plot. In Magic Knight Rayearth, three girls are transported into some magical world that they must save. In Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, three men become allies as they travel through dimensions for different purposes (and there's also a princess who tags along).
To be honest, it seems like Magic Knight Rayearth is the shojo version of Tsubasa, and Tsubasa is the shonen version of Magic Knight Rayearth. However, both contain lots of elements that will appeal to fans of both shojo and shonen.
