CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Currently, there are four members in the group.
In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well.
In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. They were well received at the convention, with 6,000 fans in attendance at their panel.

Throw everything and everything you love about this series out the door! In these past few volumes, everything has changed. Almost every character has gone through an intense transformation. There are two Syaoran's, one who continues to travel with Sakura and the others, and another who is looking for the feathers on his own. With Sakura's soul split up from her body, it'll be interesting to see how feathers continue to be selected. Then we have Fye. We've finally learned about his past, and let's just say, he isn't the happy, innocent magician we have known throughout this novel. His past is terrible and devastating, to those who know him.
I'm so sad...Fye was my absolute favourite character, and to finally learn of his awful past has made it difficult for me to like him again. Still, the worst part was the fact that .

Resulta que el cuerpo y el alma de la princesa han sido separados con tal de que un destino mucho peor no ocurriera, todo gracias a la Bruja de las dimensiones.
Así pues, queriendo o no, Fay revela que desde el inicio estuvo mintiendo y que durante todo el viaje no ha hecho sino aprovecharse de ellos. Cosa que en parte es cierto.
El grupo viaja al Reino Celes, del cual proviene Fay y en esa tierra fría y desolada se reencuentran con el Rey Ashura, quien había dormido gracias a un hechizo del mago.
Gracias a ese reencuentro es como conocemos el verdadero pasado de Fay y cuyo nombre en realidad es Yuui. Él tenía un gemelo idéntico, pero ambos fueron maldecidos por el soberano de ese reino arguyendo que, si ellos eran felices, solo caerían desgracias a la tierra y viceversa: su sufrimiento significaría la prosperidad para los demás.
Así pues, los encierran en una torre (uno en el sótano y otro en la parte más alta) y cuando están a punto de morir de inanición, se les es concedido un deseo cuyo precio es demasiado alto –Fei Wong Reed básicamente se aprovecha de él y lo maldice para asegurarse de que cumpla sus deseos en el futuro.
El verdadero Fay muere y Yuui sobrevive, aunque apenas y tiene energía para sostenerse. Es entonces cuando conoce al Rey Ashura y a partir de aquí, es él quien cuida de Fay pese a estar “maldito”.
Este volumen contiene los capítulos 150 – 158.
Read it for the #JPLitReadathon.

Review for complete series
Tsubasa is in a way a love letter to all of CLAMP's other works. I went into this having read almost all - definitely all relevant - series by CLAMP, so I can't say for sure, but I think this series is only half as fun if you haven't read the other works (preferably all). If you enjoy Easter Eggs and cameos, Tsubasa is an absolute treat.
For the longest time, Tsubasa was the longest manga series I owned; anything beyond 10 volumes makes me think twice as I find that most lengthy series just drag unnecessarily. However, it was impossible for me to say no to Tsubasa, Sakura and Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura have been long-time favourite manga characters of mine, not to mention that I am generally very fond of CLAMP and all their big and small crossovers. Reading a story that combines almost their entire bibliography and with Sakura and Syaoran as the main characters was too good to say no to. It should also be mentioned that this series is heavily interwoven with xxxHolic's plot and should best be read alongside each other.
This Syaoran and Sakura are not the same from Cardcaptor Sakura (although the original Sakura makes a cameo). In essence, this is a story about travelling between dimensions - the same person can exist in different versions of themselves in different universes. Sakura and Syaoran travel between the different worlds - all very different - and meet characters and elements from all across CLAMP's other works. In fact, some characters appear more than once to highlight how the same being can exist and lead a different life in different worlds. It's really fun to see the characters from other stories living different lives, some are funny and some are bittersweet. CLAMP has killed off a fair amount of its characters in other works so it's nice to see some of them leading happier and peaceful lives.
In addition to meeting a whole lot of known characters, there are also a couple of Tsubasa original characters such as Fay and Kurogane who accompany Sakura and Syaoran on their travels. I've grown to love Fay and Kurogane almost as much as I love the other two - so while Tsubasa is very much a homage to other CLAMP works, it's also a very character-driven story with both Fay and Kurogane having intricate and deep personalities. I also have to express my apologies to Kurogane - I always expected not to like him because I'm not very fond of brawns-over-brains type of characters, but I was very wrong about him; great character, smart as well a strong and just a really great guy.
Being a work of CLAMP, it's almost needless to say that the art is beautiful. That being said, this is more of a shounen-esque series which also shows in the art with the somewhat oddly length limbs and a greater focus on action, weapons and muscles. I prefer shoujo art, but the facial art is much the same as other CLAMP works so I can absolutely live with that.
A downside of Tsubasa is plain and simple that it gets confusing. There are time skips, world switching, doubles across different series (xxxHolic) and rather vague motivations from the villain's side. At some point, I just decided to go with the flow rather than trying to make sense of every detail. There's a bit of a loose end, though I wouldn't exactly call it a band ending either. Now that they are working on a sequel, it'll be interesting to see where things will lead to next.
Either way, an absolute gem if you like CLAMP and crossovers, and Sakura, Syaoran, Fay and Kurogane are just a great team of characters - to be fair, Mokona is as much part of the team and deserves a mention too. Finally, I just love these characters.

Al proclamarse vencedores obtienen el ansiado premio: la habilidad de poder ir a otro lugar. Sakura pretende marcharse sola, pero sus compañeros quieren evitarlo. No entienden por qué ella actúa por su cuenta, hasta que otro suceso estalla en sus narices: Fye apuñala con la espada a Sakura. A pesar de lo ocurrido, la joven princesa acuna el rostro del hechicero y pide a sus amigos que cuiden de él. Ella estaría a salvo pues su alma se ha separado de su cuerpo a tiempo y las dos partes viajan a otro lugar.
Todos se encuentran estupefactos ante los hechos, aun así, esperan que alguien les explique algo y es cuando la bruja de la dimensión comienza a hablar. Sakura actuó en solitario para evitar una catástrofe mayor y Fye cargaba bajo sus hombros con una maldición que le obligaba a matar a un ser más poderoso que él. Sakura al adquirir más plumas había superado al hechicero y eso la convirtió en el objetivo.
¿Qué significa todo esto? ¿Qué pasará ahora con tal división? Kurogane y Xiaolang siguen luchando y mantienen la confianza en Fye, pues saben que no pretendía dañar a nadie. El pasado que guarda el hechicero es mucho más doloroso de lo que jamás querrá reconocer y es el momento de hacerle frente a sus miedos más arraigados, volver a su ciudad natal, Celes.

The thrill ride continues, and we finally learn Fai's backstory! A lot of this volume is composed of flashbacks, so there's not much I can say without going DEEP into spoiler territory. What I can say is that his backstory is exactly what you'd expect from CLAMP.
Seeing Fai's past, while incredibly sad, also gives me so much more respect for him as a character. Throughout the series he's been hiding his personality from the group, so it was refreshing to see what he was like before he began the journey, even if it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.
It was also nice to see how much Yuuko cares about the group, we don't see many emotions other than neutrality from her. One final note:
See you in the next review.

Well I guess we’re back to playing the waiting game, as this collection was basically full of exposition about the group planning what they would do now that Sakura has been separated from them. The final decision (that they would go find her body on Fai’s home world) was completely expected, but this forced journey to Fai’s world ended up revealing a lot about the magician’s backstory. Fai’s been carrying a lot of secrets from the group, which doesn’t totally surprise me, but I’m not exactly liking that his second “curse” is that he has ties to the enemy magician who is out to get Sakura’s memories and defeat Yuko...I guess more will be revealed in the next storyarc, now that they’ve all arrived in Fai’s land and Fei Wang Reed is starting to make moves closer to them again.

Ça fait quelques tomes que l'histoire est plus sérieuse, on sent que le dénouement arrive. Il y a toujours des petites notes d'humour. Surtout les dialogues entre Kurogane et Mokona.
Après avoir appris le passé de Kurogane, j'espérais découvrir celui de Fye. Et ce tome-ci a répondu à mes attentes.
Mais tandis que le passé de Kurogane m'a touchée, celui de Fye m'aura plutôt retourné le cerveau. À un moment je me suis même demandé si je n'avais pas loupé quelque chose (ce n'était pas le cas). Il est aussi très sombre.
Après ces révélations, je ne sais plus trop quoi penser de Fye. Surtout que c'était un personnage que j'appréciais beaucoup par sa douceur et son attachement pour Sakura. J'ai hâte de voir comment il va évoluer. Et j'espère qu'il ne me décevra pas!

I am at loss of words. Yet I have a lot to say and a lot to SCREAM. I need a void to scream into.
I was super curious about Fay's past since the beginning, also because in the anime his story isn't explained (if I'm not wrong) and since he was one of the most appealing characters. BUT IT'S ALWAYS TRUE THAT CURIOSITY K1LLED THE CAT.
This volume is BLACK. Black is the color of the part in the past/memories. Half of this volume narrates Fay's past. Black is also the mood you get from reading this, it's all gloomy and sad.
I bet all the travelers are reconsidering their adventures with Fay right now. I can't think of who's most disappointed in Fay right now. Probably Kuro or Mokona btw. Mokona really loved him and must be so hurt. Kurogane is regretting saving him 100%.

Fai's past is so horrible, dark and twisted. Because he and his twin brother were both they were imprisoned. Only to see everyone (guilty and innocent) in their world arrive at their prison dead. The the sovereign came after he'd killed everyone else to cast his final blame on them before killing himself. They only way either of them could escape is if one died. His brother sacrificed himself to allow him to leave. So devastating. Now we're about to find out what Fai's (or actually Yûi) other curse is.

With Sakura's body split from her soul, the latter within the Dream World, Syaoran and his friends head to Seresu to find her, only to learn the horrific truths of Fai's upbringing from the mad king he has been running from all this time. CLAMP brings another painful past to light with this emotional entry sure to tug at the heartstrings of its fans. Will anything brought to light reveal the powers of Fai, or further drive him apart from his companions?

De los tantos personajes creados por las CLAMP, lo que son Fai y Karen Kasumi (original de "X") son de los que tienen infancias para lamentarse en los rincones. Por algo no releía el arco de Celes... por algo... (llora mares por Fai).

Poor, poor Fai. Nothing is what he said, but why all the lies? A few I can kinda understand but some of the others, like not saying he was cursed, don't make much sense. Here's hopeing this untangles next volume!

Here we go again with bringing back the dead. The easiest thing for that man would be to jump over to Marvel or DC where resurrecting the dead happens every few months.

Continuando con ese final inesperado nos encontramos con que Sakura se separa de los demás para dirigirse al mundo que deseaba, dejando a los demás y a nosotros con muchas preguntas cuyas respuestas se nos explicaran afortunadamente a continuación sin tener que seguir avanzando con suposiciones.
Y no es nadie más que Yuko quién nos da una explicación muy completa de todo lo que había planeado Sakura y el porqué de los acontecimientos que acaban de vivir. Para empezar, lo de la maldición de Fye supone algo terrible para el pobre, sobre todo por la forma en que se dieron las circunstancias para que ésta se activara. Es aqu�� donde admito que aunque en el tomo anterior Sakura me pareció un poco egoísta, ahora al saber sus razones no puedo más que decir que ha resultado ser un personaje sumamente abnegado. Que a pesar de todo lo que sabía que iba a suceder aun así decidió sacrificar varias cosas por el bien de los demás para cambiar el futuro que había visto, es genial.
Empezamos a descubrir muchas cosas sobre Fye, cosas que ocultó desde que empezó el viaje y que no me esperaba, y el irlas descubriendo poco a poco mientras el propio Fye las va contando resulta toda una sorpresa, cabe mencionar que Yuko como siempre sabía todo desde un principio pero no podía intervenir en nada, pero siendo ella también se encargara de ayudarlos de manera indirecta con la ayuda de las personas que se vayan topando en sus viajes en los momentos más cruciales.
Ahora bien, nos enteramos que como consecuencia de lo sucedido por la manera de actuar de Fye debido a su maldición, el alma de Sakura se encuentra en el mundo de los sueños mientras que su cuerpo se encuentra en Celes y en este momento es de mayor importancia recuperar el cuerpo de Sakura y como tal para querer elegir el siguiente mundo tienen que ofrecer algo a cambio a Yuko puesto que Mokona los lleva a mundos al azar. Y si, Fye llevado por la culpa ofrece algo importante a cambio de poder elegir llegar a Celes en su próximo viaje pero Kurogane como siempre, al ser el personaje más razonable lo hace reaccionar de una manera muy sutil y propia de él. En este punto del viaje y después de todo lo que han vivido me encanta que a pesar de ir descubriendo las mentiras de Fye esto no afecte en nada su amistad y que al contrario lo apoyan para animarlo después de sentirse fatal por todo lo que ha hecho.
Las relaciones con Holic una vez más se hacen presentes y me encanta mucho, por lo visto las dos historias se verán más conectadas conforme avance la historia.
Antes de emprender el viaje a Celes, Fye se toma la libertad de hacer algo por Kurogane que tomará mucha relevancia más adelante.
Aquí es cuando Fye empezará a tomar más protagonismo en esta parte de la historia. Una vez en celes se dirigen al castillo donde se encuentran con Ashura-ou y donde finalmente descubrimos toda la historia del pasado de Fye, que es de lo más triste, tuvo que pasar por muchas cosas difíciles y aun carga con muchas culpas, admito que ha sido algo difícil de leer, he sentido mucha más pena por él que al leer la historia de Kurogane y como es lógico Fei Wong tiene que ver con las cosas que le han sucedido, es tan vil, odioso, tan despreciable, todo por ir en busca de su objetivo. Tanta es su obsesión por ir en busca de su deseo que nos vamos enterando de más cosas que le ha hecho al pobre de Fye, que me han seguido tomando por sorpresa y que nunca me imaginé.
Y Ashura-ou no se queda atrás, se encarga de mostrarles a los demás todo el pasado de Fye, de recordarle lo que ha hecho, para hacerlo sentir más miserable de lo que ya se siente y para acabar de rematar a pesar de todo lo que ha pasado hay una condición más para Fye además de la maldición que ya conocemos y que descubriremos más adelante puesto que para mantener el dramatismo en todo lo referente a Fye la historia termina en un momento sumamente interesante.
Ha sido un tomo algo difícil de leer, es muy interesante pero triste al mismo tiempo, pero aun así me anima mucho el por fin haber conocido una gran parte de la historia de Fye.
Sin duda nos esperan más giros y sorpresas en esta historia, muy posiblemente más cosas desdichadas pero también la esperanza de que a pesar de todas las cosas malas que ha planeado Fei Wong, nuestros protagonistas puedan seguir adelante apoyándose y alcanzar un futuro diferente.

I remember thinking a few volumes back, when I learned more about Kurogane's background that I was excited to know the other characters' backgrounds.
Man, I thought Kurogane's wretchedly sad, but compared to Fai's...or Yui's...
Just because they were born twins. (Though they were adorable twins; I love the panel of their clasped hands when they refused to part ways when their punishment was announced.)
The first curse was that he would be compelled to kill any stronger wizard in his presence. (However that breaks once it's acted upon the first time.) Fei-Wang intended for Fai to kill Syaoran, but it turns out it was Sakura after she got her feather back. We also see that Fei-Wang was the one behind this, and when the real Fai jumps and dies in front of Fai/Yui, he wants to turn back time so he can make his twin alive again. Oh, Fei-Wang, evil you.
Back in Seresu they meet Ashura-o, who is now awakened and the king. It seems everybody else was killed long ago. Ashura-o was the one who rescued Fai/Yui from the snowy region where criminals go.
Everybody else traveling with Fai/Yui sees his past, too...
Fei-Wang hints at a second curse but we don't know what it is yet.

Okay, first of all, remember in my review for volume 19, I said that Fai needs to catch a break? Yeah, that hasn't happened yet. GODDAMIT NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HIS *CHILDHOOD* WAS WROUGHT WITH MISERY AS WELL?!?! Poor. Freaking. FAI!!!
Spoilers:
Okay, so basically, I didn't really grasp the point of this volume except for what follows:
A) Fai has been lying about his magic from the start
B) Ashura-o, whom we met as the god of another world, is a king in Fai's world? What?
C) Fai had a twin brother, named Fai, who died in order for Fai (who's actual name was Yûi) to escape the prison they were shut in to. But Fai/Yûi unwittingly made the contract with Fei-Wang Reed right after Fei-Wang struck a deal with Fai's twin brother, Fai. (I know this is confusing, but it makes sense if you read the volume). Then Ashura-o came to collect Fai/Yûi, and showed him that Fai wasn't dead, since Fai/Yûi's wish was for his brother to not die. Is that it? Jeeeez I hope this is explained a little better in the next volume.
