Ahh Tsubasa, you wonderful story you! At the time of this review, I have read this story more then ten times! With that being said, I will do my best to keep this review short. Now first off with the story.
..................
~Story
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle starts out as a typical adventure story but soon morphs into something even more outstanding. The story begins with Syaoran getting jumped by Sakura and she begins to confess her love for him but is soon interupted by bells from the castle. As she leaves we learn that Syaoran feels the same, but will soon be able to show how he feels
...
by helping her find her memories that soon get scattered along the worlds. Now this might sound like a typical romantic manga, but I swear to you it is nothing of the sort! It will soon start to get slowly dark and angsty after chapter 100 and onwards and will have you wanting more. When reading this story, it is smart to make sure you read through the manga slowly and not rush it, otherwise you might miss things. And rememebr, this is a Clamp story, so make sure your able to get at what they are writting. Its not weird at all to go back through this story to re-read it a few more times.
..................
~Art
Oh god, the art in this story is wonderful! If you have read Clamp's previous works, then you know already that the artwork will be amazing. At first the art is just a black and white inking style (Which happens to be a fave of mine) But soon evolves to include screentones that make the characters and scenes pop out even more. As you read though this work, you will come to notice how the art style changes and adapts through the chapters. The art is already well developed by volume 4 but evolves into something even more powerfull and grips you. Nothing else to be said about it now.
......
~Characters
Well, I am only going to sum the characters together and not go one by one. I figure that anyone who reads the story will be able to tell what they like about them. Now the main group of characters that you travel with throught the entire story is half original new clamp characters, while the other half are from CCS. And to be honest, a lot of characters from Clamps history of stories pop up in this story, all the way back to RG Veda. We even get the entire X/1999 crew in here, not to mention lots of others. This is one of the main reasons you should keep your eyes peeled and see if you can fins your face Clamp character!
And all in all, you should get to reading it now! And speaking of reading, I have to go back and re-read it again, just for old times sake!
