CLAMP – Del Rey – 2008 – 28 volumes
Back to business as usual in this volume. There is some more story explanation at the beginning of the volume that set me straight on a couple more things. Things actually do make sense at this point, which is great. I see what happened, sort of, and I can see that… for whatever reason not stated as of yet, Syaoran left Yuko’s dimension and left Watanuki in his place, and then was cloned and imprisoned, and then the clone traveled around gathering feathers so that Sakura could visit all dimensions for a purpose not yet stated. Easy enough to grasp. Fair enough, CLAMP, you’ve won this round.
Business as usual continues in the new dimension, where Sakura uses her traveling companions in an Angelic Layer-type battle game headed by Lantis, Geo, and Eagle from Magic Knight Rayearth II. I don’t see this going anywhere spectacular, aside from the fact we get to see how everyone in the small group is dealing with each other now. Exposition, exposition. I wonder if more important matters will pop up in this dimension later, or if this will just be a transitional period.
