Princess
Sakura is now awake, but all of her memories of Syaoran have been wiped
out of her memory. After getting another feather of Sakura's memory,
they travel to another country where they end up in a foggy forest.
While Fai, Kurogane and Mokona go exploring at night, Syaoran notices
that the lake they are camping by is glowing. He swims down to the
bottom and finds a miniature city under the water. But there is no
feather in this country, so Mokona transports them to another country
called Jade. Mokona doesn't sense a feather on this country either.
Needing money for food, shelter and clothing, Sakura gets involved in a
local game of poker, and wins ever hand. They soon hear an old tale of a
golden-haired princess who received a magical feather from a bird 300
years ago. Soon after, the king and queen mysteriously died and all of
the most children of the nearby village of Spirit disappeared. Now,
there are rumors that kids are disappearing again from Spirit. The gang
buys some horses and ride through the dead forest to the town of Spirit.
That night, Sakura witnesses the Princess With the Locks of Gold
appearing in town. The next morning it is reported that children are
missing. The townspeople blame Syaoran and his friends, but they have no
proof. The next night, Sakura sees the Princess With the Locks of Gold
appear again and follows her and the children toward the castle. The
next morning, Syaoran is shocked to find that not only are more children
missing, but so is his beloved princess.

Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 4 is
another fantastic manga book by Clamp. I had forgotten how much this
series entertains me. Once I get past the slightly elongated style of
drawing Clamp has, I find that this book is in my top five series that
DelRey Manga publishes. All of the characters are very interesting and
readers will love all the action, although this book didn't have a lot
it this time. This book was used for building up to the battle over the
children with the Princess With the Locks of Gold that is sure to come
in the next book. I really enjoyed both the writing and drawing style of
Clamp and the translation is pretty good. It could use a little
polishing off, but it isn't too bad at all. This book ends in a
cliffhanger, so I am greatly anticipating what will happen next.
Overall,
Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 4 is
an awesome story that should not be missed by anyone who loves science
fiction like I do. I cannot wait to see how they deal with the Princess
With the Locks of Gold in
Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 5. I
bet it won't be easy to get all the children back safely to the town of
Spirit.
I rated
this book a 9 out of 10. |
