Book Description
A fairytale quickly turns into nightmare for Syaoran and his band of friends as they search for Sakura's missing memories...
Product Description
Young Syaoran embarks on a worlds-spanning adventure to restore the memory of the most important person in his life, the princess Sakura - even though he knows that she'll never remember her love for him. The trail leads to a small town reminiscent of Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century, a place where the ghostly image of a golden-haired woman comes in the night to steal the town's children. Syaoran and his band of outrageous friends - affable Fai D. Flowright, loose cannon Kurogane, the odd creature Mokona, and Sakura herself - mount their horses and venture into forbidding, barren woods to solve a mystery, rescue the children, and retrieve one more piece of Sakura's missing memories.

This book is great for everyone who is a fan of clamp or the tsubasa series but even better if you are a fai fan girl coz you get to see him in 1900 dress as the group explore a new town. There is a plensent suprise which resolves the story of the amenosa before the party are whisked off to explore a new world. Into total there are 3 worlds visited but each of them are beautifully drawn.
Great art and an even better story a must have for all ^_^

Tsubasa CHRoNiCLE takes off...
19 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
Clamp's cross-over chaos manga takes off in this fourth installment, and reaches new heights of excellence.
After bogging down in the Hanshin Republic and an alternate Korea, our heroes reach a world strangely reminiscent of late 18th-century Europe. They find a village where a dead princess is said to be stealing children, and things get a lot more interesting.
The fourth volume of Tsubasa really seems to "click": the story, art (especially the panel and page layouts), and dialogue all seemed to come together suddenly, and I tore through this volume at a teriffic rate, only to spend hours paging through it again and marvelling at the individual panels; they're gorgeous. Moreover, the characters are finally starting to come into their own, and the interactions between our five heroes are often hilarious and sometimes poignant. It's a big plus that Sakura has regained enough memories so that she's no longer a space case; in this volume she officially "joins the group" by formally introducing herself etc (the effect is almost irreproducible in English, but the translation notes make a gallant effort). On a side note, I was a little reminded of the recent "Brothers Grimm" movie, but that's not Clamp's fault, but rather a tribute to their ability to create an atmosphere.
In sum, fans of Clamp, Cardcaptor Sakura, and manga in general should not hesitate to get out their wallets for this one. The story is picking up speed, and it retains its interest by being both episodic (world after world), and a saga as well (who are those mysterious villians who pop up every now and again?). Clamp fans will find hours of entertainment by playing "spot the cameo" or "what Clamp series is this character orignally from?" I don't have enough words to praise Del Rey's efforts at translation; not only do they retain the honorifics, without which it's virtually impossible to understand the relationships between the characters, but their translation notes are well-informed and very useful. Manga doesn't get better than this.

The "continuation" of a beautiful story
27 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
I always hoped that the Clamp writers would put out the continuing story of Syaoran and Sakura, and here it is, in a way.
The manga is fun, intreging and romantic in an innocent way. Syaoran and the others are still looking for feathers of Sakura's memory, and she begins to notice that someone is missing from them, but she still feels close to Syaoran. It's a sad young romance, which makes you hope for a real happy ending.
ButI will say this, the ending is a cliff-hanger (meaning: to be continued) which drives me nuts! But you'll have to read to find out the rest.

Brilliant
11 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
What more needs to be said for this series? Clamp is an excellent group of four female manga artists. The books are each a work of art in their own right.The story is compelling.You can't help but root for the four travelers.
