tee hee, they all get drunk in this volume!! ^_^ except kuro-rin. i love it. with all my heart.
and kurogane almost kills fai for REAL!!!! until the clover bartender-san *lol* comes out and saves the day--for asking him pretty much not to kill anybody right in front of the bar XD
all in all TOTALLY AWSOME VOLUME--rocks my socks off!!!

The best thing about CLAMP's work is their characters, you can always find someone to sympathize with or root for, and they always stay true to themselves and grow with the story! This series has been great since some of my favorites from other series have dropped in in each volume. There is sweet poignant moment between Sakura and Saoran and, of course the introduction of the enigmatic Seishiro from X 1999 and Tokyo Babylon. Great Stuff! I can't wait for the next one!

Outo Country is a great arc in this series and the bulk of it happens in this volume. Appearances by famous CLAMP characters, Kurogane finally gets a new sword, and everyone else gets drunk! What more do you need?

Tsubasa goes to a dark place with a major twist for one of it's principals in this volume.

First up is Kurogane and Fai's info-gathering bar excursion. All is going as usual - to wit, Fai driving Kurogane up a wall - until the pair is attacked by Oni. This battle is different though, as without having to worry about the kids being around to see what happens, Fai's reaction outs him to Kurogane as a suicide risk.

Afterwards, Kurogane begins training Syaoran in swordplay as the Oni huntership at large mulls over the recent high level of unusually difficult to kill Oni. The answer to who's behind it will make more than a few long-time CLAMP fans very happy...

The series has by no means lost all humor - a scene in which Fai and Sakura get drunk together and decide it would be a wonderful idea to amuse themselves by enthusiastically meowing at Kurogane and eachother in stereo has to be seen to be believed - but the new revealation about Fai takes the series to a very different place than where it started. It will be up to each fan to decide if they're happy about that.

The artwork is fantastic as usual. And the storyline takes an interesting development. I'm not going to go into specifics as to not spoil it for others but needless to say, CLAMP fans are going to be surprised. I can't wait for the next one.

Oh man guys. Tsubasa RC vol. 6 is probably my favorite volume of the released volumes. There's definitely a missing scene between the end of volume 5 and the beginning of volume 6, but I'm pretty sure it's just a small fight scene with the oni which is where Shaoran gets hurt. Volume 6 has so many crossover (not quite the right term, but oh well) character and references that I was grinning to myself throughout almost the entire volume. Del Rey does a pretty good job of explaining where most of the characters came from originally. Plus, one of my all-time favorite CLAMP characters, Seishiro Sakurazuka, has a big role which I have a feeling will get bigger. He is part of Shaoran's past and has somehow come to Oto and is controlling the oni for some reason yet unknown. It may have something to do with the two vampire twins (I'll give you three guesses as to who the TWINS are)that he was chasing when Seishiro first me Shaoran. As always, there are the heart-wrenchingly cute moments between Shaoran and Sakura, a rather angsty moment for Fai, Kurogane almost killing Fai (what else is new?), and Mokona generally being Mokona. The one scene of Fai angst is really good and although it may crush a few hopes of Fai/Kurogane fans, I think it's about time Fai dropped his mask a little. Oh, and the drunk scene is definitely not to be missed. Sakura and Fai are so funny! All in all, definitely my favorite volume. A lot happens, even though they don't find a feather or change worlds, and it definitely leaves me hungry and anxious for volume 7 this october.
Oh, CLAMP's kawaii cat shows us too!
