CAN PURE DETERMINATION DEFEAT A MASTER MAGICIAN? Sakura is awake, but she remembers almost nothing-certainly not Syaoran, who has sacrificed everything to help her. Accompanied by the happy-go-lucky Fai, the intense Kurogane, and the strikingly odd creature Mokona Modoki, Sakura and Syaoran make their way into a new universe where a traveling magician has suddenly become frighteningly powerful and is terrorizing an entire town. Only a few independent-minded stragglers remain to battle for control of their own lives. Fai, the lone magician in the group, traded his magical powers to the dimension witch, xxxHOLiC's Y?ko, before the journey started. Without a weapon with which to fight, can the extraordinary group of friends defeat a master magician who can control the Earth's elements?
I am still a little confused and am getting used to the series. The second volume was better for me, but I grew to love XXXHolic so I'm giving this one a chance.
Magic, magic everywhere

The gang's journey continues as they press on to their second dimension together in this entry of Tsubasa. This time, their surroundings are a bit more sinister as they end up in a land oppressed and terrorized by an evil ruler with a suspicious source of magic. Normally this would be a job for Fai, but since the magician can't use his magic per his payment to Yuko the companions are going to have to use their wits to find a way to foil the magician-ruler without magic of their own. The highlight of the volume is probably a very fun sequence in which Kurogane and Fai run diversion for Syaoran as they battle a magical creature while trying to avoid a less-than-refreshing dip in a magical acid lake as their odd couple rapport continues being set up as one of the series' major sources of comic relief. We also get an interesting tidbit with the suggestion that Fai's marking was not the source of his power, but rather kept it in check - begging the question of what would happen if he did use his magic. Volume three maintains the precedence of the previous two as a straightforward action-adventure with something a little deeper beneath the surface.
Tsubasa..my favorite manga!

I've read different stories of manga, and obviously the best out of all is the Tsubasa Series! I've fallen in love with Syaoran and Sakura's sad young love story! Fai and Kurogane's chemistry is hilarious! Mokona..the manju white bun, is an adorable character! But the fact that it holds so much power tells me that there's more to appearances! I haven't received my fourth volume yet, and I can't wait to get it!! I DESPISE the "To be continued..." parts! I DO!! This is the kind of story that leaves me craving for more!
Cute, funny and sweet!

I was so happy when I saw that Clamp had continued the romance of Li and Sakura! Evene though it's not Cardcaptors exactly, it still has many of the characters, and ones from other mangas like Chi from Chobits! This series is so fun, and it'll make you tear up, or laugh, and cheer the characters on! Totally a series to get!
Extra Great

Rateing- MUST HAVE I just wanted to say I was a hudge fan of CCS (Card Captor Sakura). You follow the group of heros were the last book left off. But this time they are sent to a new world after regaining another feather. She remebers nothing at all. As soon as they enter the new world they are in the middle of a big comotion- just getting worse with them. A girl pops up declaring a revolt (well sort of). She is out to get her revenge on the king and his son. Her mother was an expert in magic. However, the king sought through with that and murdered her. She lets the weird group of heros stay with her over night while thety repair her house. Introducing new and unique magical items that help them out in tight spots. (But I won't say where or which part, or what anyhow) I also wanted to not only remark that this volume is a lot darker, but it's got some tear jerkers now and then. Also you'll get to see another remarkable power of Sakura's memories (the feathers). Even if you never liked CCS this series is a MUST have if you love manga as much as I do. Sincerly, Ichigo Defender
