CLAMP's "Tsubasa 1" (manga), #14

[katikat]

I bought this manga mainly because it's a xover with xxxHolic and you can't understand one without the other well. I'm not really interested in the main characters, Shaolan and Sakura, they are too soap-opera-ish for my liking, but I love Toya and Yukito (any version of them), and Fye and Kurogane are a hoot! The spelling of some of the names may seem weird but I have the German version of this manga. I will possibly follow the series further but it's not my top priority. From what I heard it gets rather repetitive after a while and I like xxxHolic definitely better.

Tsubasa gets incredibly involved, I do like Holic better but as Tsubasa is the main title they're working on right now it gets updated more.

Oh and if you're interested you can get up to the lasted scanned chapter at onemanga.com. I'm not saying don't buy the hard copies but there's a *lot* to buy if you don't like the series that much. :)

It's too bad that they are not working on xxxHolic more. I hope that it won't end up like X, unfinished. That still irks me terribly. I mean, they wanted to do 21 vols of X - IIRC - but stopped at 18 - again, IIRC - and since then, it's all promises and promises that it'll be finished :(

And thank you for the tip! *thumbs up*

I don't think that'll happen as the events between Holic and Tsubasa crossover quite a bit but I think they don't work on Holic as much as they don't have as much time with their Tsubasa schedule and they probably don't want to get the events in Holic world get to far ahead of the events in Tsubasa world. But this is Clamp we're talking about, my favorite series Legal Drug stands unfinished at 3 volumes (although it did crossover briefly with Holic) and I want a conclusion dang it!

No problem, it's how I keep up on my series without waiting for it to be picked up or combined in a volume etc. :)

Tsubasa started out wonderfully, but now it's horribly convoluted and I stopped reading a few months ago. Pity, because I loved the original characters back from Card Captor Sakura and was so excited to see CLAMP using them again.

I loved Toya and Yukito, they are still one of my favorite yaoi couple! And I also like Fye and Kurogane. But to me it feels like lately, CLAMP just gets so tangled up in their storylines that they never finish stuff - like X! X(
