Review

In the Country of Shura, Ashura shows everyone that Yasha is not alive, but a transient thing that only appeared to be alive because of the memory feather. She gives the feather to Sakura and she absorbs it. Mokona then opens the portal and transports the entire group back to the Country of Shara. But things are vastly different now. The Suzuran Troupe and the men who worship the Statue of Yasha now live in peace and harmony. In fact, the leaders of both are getting married and the two statues that were worshipped individually, are now one. Syaoran, Kurogane,  Fai, and Sukura realize that they must have transported into Shara's past and made changes when they stopped the war between Ashura and Yasha. Mokona uses his powers again and they are transported to Piffle World. There is going to be a race called Dragonfly and the winner receives a very powerful item . . . one of Sakura's memory feathers. They start to notice people that they have met on other worlds on Piffle World. They soon come to realize that these people may look like their friends, but they are different people. Syaoran, Kurogane,  Fai, and even Sukura, enter the Dragonfly race, a race through the air in flying vehicles. One of them must win the race so Sakura can get back her memory feather. The only question is whether any of them have the skill to do so.

Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE is the most awesome manga being published by Del Rey today. I absolutely love this series. It is packed with action and a spectacular story arc. All of the characters that Clamp has created are wonderful and I find great joy in reading this series. What made Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Volume 10 so spectacular is the newest world they visited, Piffle World. A race. I love a race. What I did miss in this book was Sakura getting more of her memories back when she received the feather on the Country of Shara. Yes, she got the feather, but we didn't get to see what old memories she remembered. I also enjoy how each one of the books in this series ends in a cliff hanger, kind of like a Batman TV show from the 1960's. Overall, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Volume 10 is another excellent book in an already wonderful manga series by Clamp. I cannot wait to see how the race ends up in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE: Volume 11. No doubt it will be very exciting.

I rated this book a 9½ out of 10.
