While I found the last volume to be rather bland, I can now see that it was purely setup for this kickarse volume that has got to be one of the best in the series yet! This arc completely breaks the cycle of the gang going to another world, find a feather and move on and brings up several questions, answers and clues about the series mysteries that I didn't know even existed. For example we find out that Mokona can actually teleport everyone to the next world no matter where they are in the current world. I honestly never thought of that possibility before so it came as a very nice suprise when it came out of nowhere. We're also given a lot more focus on the two Syaorans, as well as Fei Wang Reed and his connection to Yuko and Clow Reed.

Speaking of Yuko, fans of xxxHolic will really find reading this volume worth while as we get to see an above average dose of Yuko this time around and find out a little bit more about how she is and how she can help Sakura and Syaoran. It also becomes apparent that she's aware of what Syaoran really is. We know that there's another Syaoran with a connection to him but it looks like there's a lot more to it than that.

Kurogane and Faye are used rather well and mysteriously here with both characters being thrown into a situation that none of them have been before which leads to a showdown between Kurogane and Syaoran which is amazing to see and I can't wait to see it animated in the anime.

I also got the feeling in this volume that at least one character will die before the end of the series, possibly even all off the characters (which would make for a rather dramatic ending in my opinion).

This volume doesn't disapoint on any level and finishes with a cliffhanger that actually makes you want to read the next volume asap! The story is moving very quickly now and it just keeps getting better and better!

5 stars all the way! Grab it now!

I throughly enjoyed the latest installment of Negima adventures in an Japanese private school for girls. The scrapes and misunderstandings abound to my through enjoyment. Can't wait till the next one comes out!

As the series pogresses things get more intense.The stories only getting warmed up and boy is it getting good.I eagerly await the next volume!

In volume nine of the Tsubasa manga, Syaoran, Sakura, and Mokona are still separated from Kurogane and Fai in the country of Shara, when suddenly they are transported to another world, the country of Shura, which seems to have some connection to Shara. Once again they are separated from Kurogane and Fai, who seem to have aligned with a different side in the war taking place in Shura. This volume reveals more of what's going on behind the scene and about the mysterious people watching the traveling companions from afar. This volume also has lots of sweet, funny, and exciting moments, and more of Sakura's growing feelings for Syaoran. Tsubasa fans won't want to miss this one.

The story of Ashura and Yasha always fascinated me and in this setting especially. The fights were beautifully drawn, as usually, and the cliffhanger ending would have made me want to scream and yell if I hadn't had the next volume in the series at hand already.

This volume was relatively interesting because it revealed some important plot points. You also get a lot more character development (most prominently for Sakura and Syaoran). I wasn't a huge fan of the way the gender separated world worked, but the story elements are wonderful and keep you engaged through most of this excellent volume.

i love reading this manga. the artwork is beautiful. the story is great. i also love the characters. mokona is soo cute.
