5.0 out of 5 stars The Long Road of Tsubasa, March 18, 2006

By	Carolyn E. Blount "ceblount" (Broxton, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even though it has been quite a few months since I have read Tsubasa, I totally disagree with what the other reviewers have written. Yes, Clamp does focus on cameos with characters from past manga that they have written. Yes, Clamp does focus a tremendous amount of time on the character's fighting techniques. But, if these pieces of the manga were left out, the story would not tie together effectively.
The major part of the story is the characters traveling to different worlds and fighting to get back Sakura's feathers that make up her memories. In the meantime, the group will meet people from everyone's past, but these people will be different from the people in their own world. This was the case when Syaoran saw Sakura's brother in another world. Cases such as these keep the reader on his/her toes as to what will happen next.
Another major part of the story is the scars and pain that everyone carries with them. Syaoran and Sakura's relationship is an example of this. When Syraoran is forced to realize that Sakura, the one he loves the most, will never remember their childhood together, it is a pain that someone can feel empathy for. When readers are exposed to these two driving forces of Clamp storyline, they cannot help but be drawn to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting More Understandable and Deeper, June 28, 2008

By	Lynn Ellingwood "The ESOL Teacher" (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I was very confused by the first volume and still am but the second volume tells me more about the story and I feel more comfortable about it. Sakura has lost her memory and Syaoran must travel to different worlds to get the memory back. Yuko, the witch from XXXHolic is there too.
