Review

Princess Sakura is still in a coma and Syaoran, Fai and Kurogane are still searching for the second feather of Sakura's memory. In this dimension, every person has a kudan within them. One native of this dimension believes that each kudan is an ancient god that picks that person to protect somehow. Syaoran's kudan is a fire canine and is a special level (the highest there is). Kurogane's is a dragon what turns into a unique sword in which he weilds with his ninja skilled hands. Kai's is a large bird that enables him to fly. After battling another team that wanted to take over the district, they travel with a local boy, Mayayoshi Saito, who guides them through the district. Suddenly, Myayoshi and Mokona, the little creature that lets them to travel to different dimension and also enables them to talk and understand each other because in reality they are speaking different languages, are snatched away by a powerful kudan. Syaoran, Fai and Kurogane follow the kudan to Primela, a local pop star and idol of millions. She is working with Shogo, another team leader of a good gang and they are interested in Syaoran's powerful kudan. Now, Syaoran has been challenged to battle with Primela who has a special level kudan also.

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 2 is a manga book written and drawn by Clamp. This book was translated and adapted by Anthony Gerard and Lettered by Dana Hayward. This book contains Chapters 6 through 13. There is also some special extras in the following sections: Honorifics Explained, About the Creators, Past Works, Translation Notes, and a Preview of Volume 3. The book reads from right to left and back to front, just like a book from Japan. This manga book is intended for readers ages 13 and up.

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 2 is just as fun and exciting as Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 1 was. In fact, since the kudan's were introduced, the action has been fast and furious with huge battles. I love action, and this series is full of it. Readers of all ages will enjoy the different types of kudans and how they battle. I flew though this book because it was so exciting and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen. Once again, Clamp's artwork is fantastic, even though he draws the character's heads too small, but I think he is doing that on purpose. The storyline is fun and exciting and the battles remind me of Pokemon battles, but much longer in length. This manga series has the most promise of all that I have read so far. There are at least 15 books in this series, and I hope there are more are to come. Overall, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 2 is another fantastic manga book and I can't wait to see what dimension they travel to next in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 3 looking for another of Sakura's memory feathers.

I rated this book a 10 out of 10.
