ツバサ WoRLD CHRoNiCLE ニライカナイ編 [Tsubasa World Chronicle: Niraikanai Hen] #2

by Clamp

"DUAL WORLDS, DUAL SIGHTS In the land of Nirai Kanai, there are two realms, one that is the ""outside"" world, and another that is ""inside"" and hidden from the rest of reality. At the request of the holy Himegami, Syaoran ventures into this inside realm to investigate an anomaly, but what he sees there is very different from what Fai and Kurogane see. What does this discrepancy mean, and what can they do to overcome it?!"

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.

3.5/5
A little more interesting than the first volume but not by much. Let's hope the final volume raises the series up for me.

[Alex of Yoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

CLAMP is just so creative. I love the mixture of Okinawan religion into this new world, and the idea of dual perspectives in Fai/Kurogane vs Shoaran. It's just such a neat story.

This volume is slightly more gory than usual. Not a lot, but there is blood so be warned. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying the plot and how it ties so perfectly with xxxHolic Rei. These two series are even more tightly bound than the original Tsubasa/Holic were! I like how the characters have grown and their relationships are slightly different from the original Tsubasa. CLAMP has kept their development consistent with what we saw in Reservoir and carried it into World very well. I definitely believe it. And I like how the plots connect too! It is truly a sequel to Reservoir.

And with that, on to the next volume!

I am going to have to go back and reread xxxHolic: Rei. Rei crosses over with Tsubasa much more than I anticipated. So, I'm kinda lost, but it's still fun to be back with Syaoran, Mokona, Kurogane, and Fai (Fai!!), even if I don't really get what's going on. I mean, it's CLAMP after all, so I'm not surprised.

It's hard to review individual manga volumes. This gave me a lot of feeeelings, but at least 90% of those feelings were nostalgia. Is this manga even any good? I don't know, but I love the characters, so I don't even care.

2.5⭐
Tbh these follow up series are very not interesting to me. If it weren't for the fact that there's only 1 book left, I'd drop the whole thing

[Harumichi Mizuki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Di Nira Kanai bagian dalam, Syaoran melihat hal yang berbeda dengan Mokona, Kurogane, dan Fay. Syaoran melihat tempat itu sebagai tempat yang indah dan berisi orang-orang yang tak berbahaya. Sedangkan Mokona, Kurogane, dan Fay melihat tempat itu sebagai tempat mengerikan yang penuh dengan monster mematikan.

Seorang "gadis" itu dengan grup mereka dengan sepersetujuan Syaoran. Tapi di tengah jalan mereka bertemu monster burung yang kemudian melukai Syaoran. Gawatnya, mereka tidak bisa menghubungi Watanuki sehingga tidak bisa meminta obat-obatan dan perban dikirimkan.

Syaoran lalu meminta Mokona mengeluarkan barang-barang yang magis yang sempat dikumpulkan Watanuki dengan bayaran memori Watanuki. Dengan menggunakan salah satu barang itu, mereka pun pergi ke Utaki.

[Sherri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Actually like this one better than the last volume! (The Touya/Yukito conversation might have had something to do with it because I am shipper trash.) I'm cautiously pleased and hopeful. Bonus points for more Watanuki, although I could really do with Sakura being the patient, waiting woman at home. Let her do something, please.

[Mosley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the fact that we get a Tsubasa continuation! I'm very sad I didn't last long, but I'll take what I can get, because it's one of my favorite series. I really enjoy getting to see a little bit more of the characters outside of caring for Sakura and more on their own adventure. I love seeing Fai finally really using his magic.

[Ola G · Rating 2 out of 5]

4/10 stars

Yep, no. Nothing really interests me in this manga, even while cross-reading with xxxHolic. It's just boring, unfunny, maxed out on special snowflakiness and kawaii. I'll read the third volume because I've already borrowed it from the library, but it will be the end of this journey.

[Bobbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need more! Someone explain please. I don't understand. Why is there dual vision in a dual world? Are they in hell or are they in a paradise? Only Syaoran and some stranger sees differently.

Does utaki mean that they will see other Syaoran again? On to the final volume right now. Please have answers!

[Josh 谢翊杰 · Rating 5 out of 5]

What?! Watanuki dreamed of a future that Syaoran doesn't wake up from a dream? No! Syaoran's too awesome! I hope that the preparations Watanuki took will ensure that the dream indeed isn't fulfilled.

Why can Syaoran see a beautiful world, and why can the others only see see a scary and dangerous world? What is true?

[Becki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully drawn. Interesting story that once started I had to know what was going to happen next. Looking forward to the next volume.

I'm confused, but excited :)
More than ready for the next one... even if it's the last one for a while... :(

[Karen Alcocer Peralta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Solo me falta uno

[Moi Self · Rating 4 out of 5]

xxxholic rei aveva spoilerato allegramente tutto 😅

Grazie, Clamp, per non aver mai dato l'ordine di lettura.
Noi facciamo a caso, come sempre, e becchiamo spoiler per entrambe le serie 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Alice (❀´ ˘ `❀) · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stelle

[Sas Hopf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Schöner zweiter Teil und ich bin auf das Finale gespannt :-)

[Rae · Rating 4 out of 5]

Somehow, I'm more confused than ever.

[Clau MZ]

Okay but Fye and Kurogane keep getting gayer

[Lucía Cafeína · Rating 3 out of 5]

No sé, no sé, me hace ilusión volver a ver a estos personajes, pero me está faltando contexto y emoción en la trama.

[Adriana · Rating 4 out of 5]

The art is gorgeous, but the story is starting to get a bit too complicated for it's own good.

[Adrian Santiago · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lamentablemente una historia completamente aburrida y repetitiva de la historia original.

Entiendo que para algunos sea lo mejor ver a Syaoran y Sakura (y los demás), pero en cuanto a la trama es simplemente tonto y sacado de la manga para obligar a mostrar algunos aspectos. Y sabiendo lo que querían mostrar es muy obvio lo que pasará en la historia, por lo tanto es muy aburrido.

///////////

sí, medio aburrido pero también intrigante, y las conexiones están al full. Ya ni recuerdo todo ésto.

[ryan long · Rating 5 out of 5]

Big question is this story arc confusing yes or no

As mentioned in the title I gave for this review this story arc goes between syaoran and his companions point of view one sees light were the other sees dark the translation notes include mentions of okinawan religion

[Stacy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the idea of the characters seeing different things, though a few parts of expressing this were choppy/repetitive/sloppy. They made their point brilliantly at the start, but that slipped a few times after. I'm still pretty pumped about this series continuing.

[kerrycat · Rating 5 out of 5]

(2019 reread) I want Syaoran and Sakura to be able to meet in dreams, just once


prices and sacrifices and LOST MEMORIES
and
dream visits

I was concerned that certain characters wouldn't be involved with/important to TWC but I was so wrong, and so glad to be.
