Synopsis

Warmhearted Syaoran has always been friends with Sakura—the princess of the Clow Kingdom who holds an extraordinary power capable of changing the world. When a mysterious man attempts to monopolize Sakura's ability, her memories scatter throughout different worlds in the form of feathers. To save Sakura, Syaoran seeks help from the Dimensional Witch and meets two other travelers—Kurogane and Fai D. Flourite.

Kurogane, a capable fighter and ninja, has been banished from his homeworld and wishes to return. In contrast, Fai, a magician from Celes, wants to traverse different worlds to avoid his home and past. As the price to cross dimensions, each of the three must sacrifice their most valued possession. For Sakura's sake, Syaoran agrees to give away their relationship as payment to the Dimensional Witch. With firm determination, Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai begin journeying through numerous worlds to fight against their ill-fated destinies.

Background

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE is set in the same universe as other CLAMP works, most notably xxxHOLiC. Characters in the series follow Osamu Tezuka's star system principle, in which characters with the same name and design are reused in different settings.

The series was published in English by Del Rey Comics from April 27, 2004, to November 23, 2010. Kodansha Comics USA republished the series in 10 omnibus volumes from August 19, 2014, to October 18, 2016. It was also released in Brazilian Portuguese by Editora JBC in 56 volumes from April 2006 to September 2011.

Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, often shortened for the sake of convenience to "Tsubasa", is one of the newest additions to a large body of work by world-renowned manga studio CLAMP. After 6 years of faithfully following this series' serialization, I have come to the conclusion that it is nothing short of a masterpiece.

------------------------
~STORY~: Tsubasa has an original and fresh story under its belt, which is to be expected from a CLAMP work. The main antagonist (Fei Wong Reed) causes a desert princess (Sakura) to lose all of her memories in order to achieve his dream. Her childhood friend (Syaoran) is forced to go to the Space-Time ...

Story:
The story started out very simple and easy enough to follow--travel the worlds, find the feathers, cute romance-y moments etc. Then everything hits the fan and at first you're like, "Oh, cool, this is actually serious!" Unfortunately, being serious can only be so good for so long when suddenly, EVERYTHING is dark and depressing and there is NO RAY OF HOPE. The story also becomes extremely confusing and hard to follow when the same plot device is used again and again. Everything seems to drag on because of these two negative factors, and so what was a cute and adventurous series turns into... something rather ...

I loved most of this, but at some point the plot became dumb and confusing, and I honestly didn't want to read through all of XXXHolic to figure out "why is this bad guy doing this". You shouldn't have to read through multiple other works, to get what's going on in this.

I've read a lot of Clamp, but the fact they made these two so intertwined is just..bad. The multiple plot twists were just so stupid and it felt like they were trying to write something edgy, that would get attention, rather than a story that we should care about.
