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.

It's Syaoran VS Syaoran, a battle in a literal dream! Who will win? And what will happen to Princess Sakura?
Okay, I've honestly lost track of who is a clone of who at this point, and who's made what wishes. But I have trust that CLAMP will make it make sense in the end, so I'm not going to rag on the mysteries yet.

The action scenes were great again, the story is really heating up, and Watanuki comes in to play somehow. Quite interested to see where they go next!
August 19, 2014
La batalla continua en el Mundo de los sueños al cual Syaoran pudo entrar debido a la pluma que poseía Seishirou y a que el árbol de cerezo donde se encuentra descansando el cuerpo de Sakura tiene una relación con este mundo, por lo que ya no tendrá que enfrentarse a Seishirou sino que ahora tendrá el desafío de hacer frente al otro Syaoran, todo para recuperar el alma de Sakura.
Cabe mencionar que en esta parte de la historia la relación con Holic se vuelve cada vez más importante, dicho esto hay algunos detalles que iremos descubriendo tanto en una historia como en la otra y que ayudaran a entender ciertos acontecimientos.
Por lo visto Syaoran no tendrá nada fácil la tarea de enfrentarse con su otro yo. Todo se desata en una batalla llena de mucha acción, la cual sucede mientras Kurogane, Fye y los otros lo esperan en el mundo real, haciendo mención que todo lo que sucede en el Mundo de los sueños se ve reflejado en el árbol de cerezo por lo tanto, tienen una idea vaga de lo que va sucediendo.
Las cosas se van complicando para el verdadero Syaoran y es Sakura quien intenta ayudarlo, y con esta intervención a pesar de que el otro Syaoran esta cegado con la idea de conseguir las plumas, nos vamos dando cuenta de que hay ciertos aspectos que aún influyen en su conciencia pero que no son lo suficientemente fuertes como para hacerlo entrar en razón.
La batalla por la pluma provoca que los dos Syaoran aparezcan en el mundo real, creando un caos total, lo que llevará a un giro inesperado que me ha sorprendido… todo en pos de que Fei Wang consiga su deseo.
Y como las cosas no podían quedarse así, hace su aparición otro personaje conocido para ellos quien toma ventaja del caos y hace su jugada no pudiendo hacer nada para evitarlo.
Las explicaciones sobre lo que acaba de suceder nos ayudan a entender un poco ciertos acontecimientos que se fueron dando durante el viaje pero también generan más preguntas.
Yuko tendrá una participación importante, puesto que ahora lo que queda es saber qué camino tomar para remediar lo que ha sucedido y la única que puede ayudar a nuestros protagonistas es ella, obvio todo a un debido precio.
Hay un detalle importante que vincula en este punto tanto a Tsubasa como a Holic, lo que ayudara a nuestros protagonistas a dirigirse a su destino, lo que como ya es costumbre sigue generando preguntas. Momento para el cual tendrán que esperar a que lleguen las circunstancias adecuadas.
En este intervalo de espera Kurogane tiene una conversación con Tomoyo, la relación que tienen es muy especial y me encanta mucho cómo Kurogane ha crecido durante el viaje, la seguridad de enfrentar con decisión y fortaleza lo que está por venir se percibe en sus acciones. No oculto que sigue siendo mi personaje favorito y disfruto enormemente cualquier información extra que nos presenten de él.
De igual manera Fye y Syaoran tienen una conversación, lo que demuestra que en este momento lo que más necesitan entre ellos es el apoyo y la confianza para lograr lo que se proponen.
No hay duda de que cada uno de ellos ha crecido mucho durante este viaje.
Y es de esta manera en cómo se preparan con ayuda de Yuko para emprender lo que al parecer será su último viaje en esta difícil prueba. La cual por supuesto será interesante de leer, al fin se enfrentaran con aquel que les ha hecho pasar por este viaje tan difícil, que hasta cierto punto los ha influenciado en el camino de sus vidas y que les ha ido cambiando.
Naturalmente tengo muchas ganas de saber que otros giros inesperados aguardan a nuestros protagonistas y de qué manera concluirá esta historia. Una vez más diré que es una historia muy recomendable y que vale mucho la pena.

HOW MANY PLOT TWISTS CAN ONE SERIES HAVE?????
June 9, 2019
this was a tough one . . .
the white Mokona crying so much over 'Sakura' - and Watanuki
WATANUKI just strolling through Yuko's explanation of PAYMENTS
SO MANY PAYMENTS
(reread 2019) I started crying on page one and didn't stop until long after I finished. I understand it a lot more after having read the whole series as well as xxxholic before, but it really doesn't make the emotional nightmare any less difficult.

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.

Xiaolang se interna en el mundo de los sueños, sin darse cuenta de que su llegada alerta a su propio clon. Allí, el alma de Sakura se encuentra en medio de una batalla entre ambos, el clon y el Xiaolang original. Ella solo quiere evitar que corra la sangre, pero ellos no están dispuestos a ceder. El clon, incapaz de tener sentimientos, solo quiere conseguir todas las plumas y nadie le frenará. Por su parte, Xiaolang solo quiere proteger a su amiga a toda costa.
Sakura, ante el asombro de todos, desvela otro secreto, ella no es quien parece ser. Al igual que el clon del chico, ella fue creada por el hechicero enemigo con la pretensión de conseguir lo que desea. La verdadera Sakura nunca fue con ellos de viaje. Aunque esta información deja a nuestros aventureros en un estado de shock estos no cesarán sus intentos de recuperar a su amiga. Creada o no, Sakura es Sakura y harán lo posible e imposible por conseguir a ambas y que estén a salvo.
Durante la batalla entre los dos Xiaolang suceden dos cosas: el alma de Sakura se sacrifica y, en Japón, su cuerpo es robado por un lacayo del hechicero.
El siguiente destino de los aventureros es el reino estancado de Clow donde se oculta el artífice de cada obstáculo en el camino de nuestros amigos.

The finale battle between the two Syaoran’s was nothing less than epic, but holy fucking shit was the reveal a total mind fuck. They didn’t really go into the whole duplicate images without souls aspect of the story in Xxxholic (that I can recall at least), but the fact that Fei Wang has been orchestrating the entire scenario is completely ridiculous! Who the fuck creates duplicate people to collect power, and then kills off the original? Why wouldn’t he just send the actual person on the quest, with their memories wiped (of course), since that would be a helluva lot easier. Unfortunately for him, the real Syaoran survived (with a certain amount of power intact) and he’s still got Kurogane and Fai at his side, and they’re all hell bent on freeing Sakura from the clutches of the evil magician. Back to the Kingdom of Clow they go!

El clon de Syaoran vuelve a aparecer y se enfrenta a Syaoran original quien de alguna manera es protegido por Sakura. Esta batalla ocurre en una dimensión alterna, algo así como la que se creó dentro de los sueños de la princesa.
Tras interponerse entre ambas espadas, Sakura revela que ella también era un clon, aunque no lo supo hasta mucho después, probablemente cuando recuperó la pluma en Tokyo. Fei Wang tuvo todo planeado para obtener el poder de viajar a través de dimensiones ya que quiere lo imposible: traer de la muerte a una persona que quería.
Kurogane, Fay, Mokona y Syaoran de nueva cuenta se embarcan en un viaje para encontrar aquello perdido y así recuperar el cuerpo y alma de la princesa Sakura que ellos conocen.
Este volumen contiene los capítulos 175 – 182.

Getting towards the end here, everything is becoming clearer now.
I have a running joke with my kids (about a specific recurring character) as I've been rereading the series, and now as I read the parts I never got to back as it came out...and I got to use it in this volume.
Love this series so much!

If anything, this series confuses the heck outta me with all the time traveling and planning ahead. I do love the action scenes between the two Syaorans. (And I got to see the Best Boy Ever, Watanuki in this volume.)

Deje de ser objetiva con Tsubasa hace mucho 💁♀️
Igual y es tiempo de revelaciones desde el tomo... 18(? Si de por si ya estaba todo torcido, se retuerce y revelan muchas cosas más.
No estoy muy segura de si la calificación es objetiva o no 🤔
Quisiera afirmar que sí xD

"good.the concept of dimensions is new" - was my review back in 2011.To be honest i had no words how to describe this manga.Firstly , hats off to the team of CLAMP for their amazing drawing and highly complex yet beautiful storyline.I'm a huge fan of their works, especially the earlier ones like 'Tokyo Babylon', 'X/1999','Cardcaptor Sakura' ,'Kobato' and so on.Secondly ,'TRC' in my opinion, is one of their most complex and mind-boggling manga.There are many difficulties that i won't shy away from pointing out. At times it's confusing and hard to understand, which is why you need to read the manga very carefully which i'm sure manga fans will have no problem in doing.Thirdly, it has a central love story but it also pays attention to other genres and also pays homage through reappearences(and recasting) of CLAMP's famous characters from their other mangas.
I watched 'Interstellar' last year which helped me understand that TRC used the 'time is a circle' concept generously .In fact, this concept (and time in general) comes to play a major part in the entire plot(this is my personal opinion though). Its the story of Syaoran who has to save Sakura so he jumps across dimensions to collect special feathers which are essential to her survival.Along the way he meets the magician Fai and the samurai{?(ninja i think)}Kurogane who also joins them on their journey.What happens next will spoil the plot ,so if you have not read it, get started! you'll love it.
