Currently running in
Shonen Magazine in
Japan is
CLAMP's latest
manga, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. "Tsubasa"
is Japanese for
wing or wings.
Sakura, the princess of Clow Country, has a vision of a
mysterious object. The next day, she visits her childhood friend
Syaoran at the excavation site he's working at. She sees the
mysterious object - and begins to get pulled in to it! Wings appear
on her back. Syaoran manages to pull her back, and her wings
disappear - but Sakura is unconscious, and the palace magician
Yukito says that the wings were Sakura's memories. Now that they're
gone, Sakura will die! And so Yukito sends Syaoran on a quest to
find the feathers of Sakura's memories, which have been scatted
throughout different dimensions. Joining him on his quest are Fye, a
magician who left his dimension to escape an evil king; Kurogane, a
swordsman who was banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo; and
Mokona, a magical creature given to them by the Witch of the
Dimension.
Tsubasa is made up of a lot of crossovers. Early chapters reveal
that it actually crosses paths with the story of
XXXHolic. Sakura, Syaoran, Yukito, Touya, Fujitaka, Clow and
Tomoyo from
Card Captor Sakura appear; Chii from
Chobits is in it for a few pages; Mokona from
Magic Knights Rayearth; Ashura and Souma from
RG Veda; Sorata and Arashi from
X; possibly the Dash card as well. The latest
cameo characters are Imonoyama Nokoru, Takamura Suoh, and Ijuuin
Akira from
Clamp School Detectives.
