Syaoran and crew move on to the next world in their journey and find themselves dropped directly into the middle of a bully's tirade as he takes over the town. They are taken in by a young girl with an attitude who is trying to follow in her sorcerer mother's footsteps and save her town. As the travelers search for Sakura's next feather they decide that freeing the town and taking down the bully might not be a bad idea.

In this manga I had a bit of a hard time with the dark confusing fight scene panels, but I'm getting used to it. I love the storyline and the characters are so wonderful. Most of the time my favorite is Fai whose unusual ability to find amusement and serenity in everything is intriguing. But, it is hard not to also love Kurogane's grumpiness, Syaoran's bravery, Sakura's kindness (even if she doesn't have all her oars in the water) and Mokona's...Makonaness.

Another thing I wanted to mention is I finally broke down and purchased the first volume of the Tsubasa anime on DVD. Although it seemed dreadfully short for the price it cost, the anime is very much like the manga, except it is in color and I could actually understand what was going on during the fight scenes. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with a fondness for this manga series. ( )
