As the
feud between the Suzuran Troupe and the men who worship the Statue of
Yasha continues, the wind creature attacks. Mokona determines that there
is not a memory feather on this world and he sees that there is a
feather through the wind creature. He transports Syaoran and Sukura to
the country of Shura. Syaoran and Sukura appear in the middle of a
battle on a floating castle at night. The battle is between a living
version of Ashura and Yasha and their clans. They notice what appears to
be Kurogane and Fai with the Yasha clan. It seems that when the moon
reaches Zenith, both the Ashura clan and the Yasha clan appears on the
floating castle that hovers above their world to do battle. Mokona
informs Syaoran that there is a strong power emanating from that castle,
which could be one of Sukura's memory feathers. Syaoran asks Ashura if
he can go with them to the castle the next night to determine whether it
really was Kurogane and Fai that he saw fighting with the Yasha clan.
That night, when they arrive, Syaoran calls out to Fai who turns and
shoots arrows at Syaoran pinning him to a wall. Then Kurogane answers
with his sword. While they are battling, Syaoran notices that Kurogane's
sword is the one he bought while in the world of Oto. But Kurogane and
Fai do not seem to know Syaoran at all. How could that be?

Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 9 is
another awesome book in this wonderful manga series by Clamp. I love
this series! I would have to say that it is probably my favorite series
because of its consistency in great storylines and artwork. I quite
enjoy reading about the main characters going from world to world
searching for Sukura's memory feathers. It is a massive adventure full
of action and a lot of fighting scenes. What I also like about the books
is that they are quick reads. Some of the manga books bog the reader
down with an incredible amount of dialog because the story is so
detailed, and possibly confusing. Not so with Tsubasa. The read is very
easy and the stories are always enjoyable. Wow! What a wonderful series
this is. I did find myself a little confused when they jumped to the new
world and the statues were now alive. But my confusion faded quickly and
the story continued. I still am not quite sure why there were two status
in the previous world that others worshipped. Hopefully that will be
explained soon. Overall, I highly recommend this series and found
Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 9 to
be another wonderful book. I look forward to finding out why Kurogane
and Fai don't seem to recognize Syaoran in Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 10. Boy, oh boy. I cannot wait.
I rated
this book a 9 out of 10. |
