When we
last saw Sakura, she was still chained up in the castle of the Princess
With the Locks of Gold. She is able to pull the chains out of the old
wall and follow the children to a hole in the wall they are passing
through. Inside the hole is one of her memory feathers embedded in a
hard substance, and all of the children are working to get it free. She
wonders who is putting the children up to this task. Meanwhile, back in
Spirit, Syaoran has been doing some historical research and finds out
that Princess Emerald, otherwise known as Princess With the Locks of
Gold, may not have abducted the children 300 years ago. It seems that
the town was struck by some sort of plague and she took the children in
a gave them shelter to protect them form getting sick. Syaoran tells
Kyle, the local doctor, his suspicions that Grosum might be the one who
has been stealing the children lately. So, that night they set a trap.
Someone falls for the trap and runs into the castle with Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane,
and others following their glowing footsteps. There they find Sakura and
she has the feather after the children gave it to her at the behest of
Princess Emerald's ghost. The villian, crazy for the power it could give
them, attacks Sakura, but the heroes win out in the end. After Sakura
reabsorbs the feather, Mokona teleports them to a new world called to
Oto. After being attacked by and
killing a creature called an Oni, they find work being Oni-Hunters. One
night, they are looking of Oni to kill when they are approached by
another band of Oni-Hunters. The only question is whether the new
Oni-Hunter are good or bad . . .

Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 5 is
another action-packed manga that I highly enjoyed. I love this whole,
science fiction, world-hopping, bad guy rear-kicking, cool manga series.
Clamp sure does now how to entertain. The book is well-translated and
adapted to English and a pleasure to read. I always know that when I
pick up any book in the Tsubasa series, I am in for one heck of a roller
coaster ride. The nice thing about this book is that I didn't figure out
who the bad guy was in the country of Jade. As for the stretched out
artwork, it was wonderful as usual. Don't forget that the storyline is
fun and exciting, which is the best part. I must say that the Tsubasa
series is one of my favorites, which is good because there are some many
book sin this series. I have a long way to go and I hope Clamp doesn't
stop creating this series anytime soon. Sakura sure must have lost a lot
of memory feathers. I wonder if she will ever remember her childhood
friend, Syaoran? I sure hope so. Overall,
Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 5 is
a totally awesome book and one that should not be missed by any lover of
action books, like I am. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the
country of Ono with the other Oni-Hunters in
Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 6. I
bet it will be very exciting.
I rated
this book a 9½ out of 10. |
