Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle (ツバサ-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- ,Tsubasa -Rezaboa Kuronikuru-), is an ongoing manga series by Clamp. It is currently being serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. It takes place in the same fictional universe as many of Clamp's other manga series including xxxHolic, Cardcaptor Sakura, Legal Drug, X, and Tokyo Babylon.
Plot
Sakura is the princess of Clow Country (The Country of the Eternal Tower), which is ruled by her older brother, King Tōya. Her childhood friend Syaoran is a young archaeologist investigating a nearby ruin. Sakura is revealed to have strange powers when she has a vision of a mysterious symbol. Meanwhile, Syaoran discovers the same symbol at the ruins. When he sees Sakura standing on the symbol in the ruins, ghostly wings appear on her back and a mysterious force begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. Syaoran rescues her in time, but her wings disintegrate into feathers, which are scattered across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "feathers" were the manifestation of her soul and memories; without them, she will die. In order to save Sakura, Syaoran must journey to retrieve her wings' feathers, the fragments of her memories.
Yukito sends Syaoran and the unconscious Sakura to the Dimensional Witch, Yūko. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo, and Fay D. Flourite, a magician who fled his world to avoid King Ashura. Each of them must pay with what he or she values most in order to gain the power to cross dimensions. For Kurogane, it is his sword Ginryū, and for Fay, it is the tattoo on his back which helps regulate his control of his magic. Syaoran and Sakura, on the other hand, must pay with their relationship; even if he is able to retrieve all of her memories, she will recall his existence in any of her memories up until that point. Only when the three agree to her terms does Yūko present them with the power to cross dimensions, a white creature named Mokona Modoki.
While traversing through worlds to find Sakura's feathers, the four travellers and Mokona are forced to overcome many dangers and opponents, some of whom are figures from Syaoran's past who wish to collect Sakura's feathers for their own reasons as they are seen to be objects that hold great power.
Characters
- Syaoran: He is the main character and protagonist for the first half of the story. Syaoran is a childhood friend of Princess Sakura and is known for his kind nature and his calm determination. Although at the beginning, he does not have any magical power, he is an excellent martial artist and an aspiring archaeologist with extensive knowledge of various languages, histories, and artifacts. It's later revealed that Syaoran is actually a clone of Syaoran Li that was originally created in order to collect Princess Sakura's feathers.
- "Syaoran" Li: He is son of Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura. At the age of 14 he is imprisoned by Fei Wong Reed and is seen throughout the first half of the series asleep in a magically-sealed tank. After awakening he joins the group with the wish of protecting Sakura. In Chapter 201, it is revealed that Watanuki (xxxHolic) was "born" to replace the void in the relationships Syaoran had made.
- Sakura: She is the princess of Clow Country. Sakura is a cheerful, selfless, and strong-hearted young woman. She states if there was ever something that she could do, she would try her absolute best. Her feathers are the manifestation of her soul, namely her heart and memories. She possesses a mysterious power, manifest in the magical powers of her wings, which is sought by Fei Wong Reed.
- "Sakura"-hime: She is the daughter of King Fujitaka and Priestess and Queen Nadeshiko of Clow Country. First introduced in one of "Syaoran's" flashbacks, she is the true Princess of Clow Country.
- Kurogane: Kurogane is a rough-mannered ninja from the world of Nihon (Japan), exhiled for his recklessness. He originally possessed the blade Ginryū before giving it to Yūko as price for his deal with her. His true name is Yō-ō.
- Fay D. Flourite: A laid-back mage from the Country of Celes. Although, early in the series, he seems happy-go-lucky and pretends to know less than he does, there is more to him than meets the eye. His real name is Yūi.
- Mokona Modoki: A white creature given to Syaoran, Fay and Kurogane by Yūko in exchange for their most-valued possessions to help find Sakura's memories (the feathers). A created imitation from the character in Magic Knight Rayearth which could not talk. There is also a black Mokona.
- Yūko Ichihara: Also known as the Dimensional Witch or the Space-Time Witch, Yūko resides in modern day Japan. She is the same character from xxxHolic.
- Fei Wong Reed: Fei Wong Reed is the primary antagonist of the story. He is very powerful and will do anything to grant his wish - to bring back a life. He can predict the future and often prepares many details of his plans decades before they take places.
- Kimihiro Watanuki: Watanuki is Syaoran's counterpart in Japan. Although he never truly meets the Tsubasa group, he is the one who brings them Mokona, witnesses the appearance of Syaoran Li, and speaks with Sakura in his dreams when her spirit is separated from her body. Syaoran and Watanuki have a very strong bond, even though they've rarely ever spoken with each other; Watanuki is essentially "Syaoran" and is used to fill the void Syaoran Li made to make his wish.
Production
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle first began with the inspiration of the four-member team, Clamp, to link their works set in a realistic world with all of their works set in different fantasy worlds.[3] Prior to beginning work on Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Clamp had created the manga Cardcaptor Sakura, from which the two main characters are taken from. Clamp decided to draw Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle using a style first conceived by Osamu Tezuka, often credited as the "Father of Anime", known as the Osamu Tezuka's Star System where characters with the same name and design are used in different settings, drawing mostly from the vast character pool of its own works and occasionally from others' works.[4] However unlike characters under the Star System, three months prior to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle release, the Weekly Young Magazine began a serializing xxxHolic, a manga whose two main characters, Kimihiro Watanuki and Yūko Ichihara, are identical[5] to the ones used in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. It runs parallel to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and is another of Clamp's works. Like many of their other works, each member of Clamp has a role different from their other projects as opposed to retaining set roles. For Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Mokona draws the main characters whereas Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi draw the side characters and backgrounds; Ageha Ohkawa is the sole person in charge of the storyline and not even the other members of Clamp know how the plot will unfold.[6]
A special interview with Ohkawa and Kiichiro Sugawara, Clamp's editor from the Shōnen Magazine's Editorial Department, took place after the story of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle had progressed past the Selece Country arc. Ohkawa has stated that the group is very conscious of the fact that Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is the title in Shōnen Magazine with the youngest readership and that it is their very first foray into the shōnen demographic.[7] Thus, the members of Clamp ensure that they employ a drawing style and dialogue appropriate for young, male audiences;[8] the manga incorporates furigana that makes reading Japanese easier.[citation needed] To aid in this effort, the group holds conferences with Sugawara where they discuss the plot. However, Ohkawa stated during the interview that the only time the story significantly changed was during Country of Jade arc; was from a "horror story with vampires" to a "detective mystery".[9]
The members of Clamp had some difficulty adjusting from their typical style after deciding to publish with a weekly shōnen magazine. Because their typical thinner lines did not give the desired impact, Ohkawa expressed the group's desires to make their lines thicker and have simpler layouts similar to the other stories already present in Shōnen Magazine.[10] Furthermore, in regards to the art, she stated that they used their original style to attract initial readers and then slowly transitioned to a new style, however mentioned that since sometime around when the Country of Ōto arc took place, their art style has been gradually changing and that they were thinking of returning to their original style.[11] Also they are still adjusting to a weekly schedule as many of their previous works were on a monthly schedule. When first presenting the idea to Sugawara of running Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle linked with xxxHolic, although he expressed concerns for the strain the weekly pace of such a series would place on the artists, he whole-heartedly approved. In accordance with Ohkawa's desire for each to have a well organized story, Clamp avoids putting references between the two stories too frequently.[10]
When thinking about including character goods with the volume releases, Sugawara came up with the atypical idea of releasing a deluxe and normal edition of the manga after contemplating the inconsistency of novels getting both a soft-cover and hard-cover release, but manga not.[12] Because it was a new concept, the group experienced several mishaps such as accidentally placeing the illustration on the first deluxe edition they released reversed left-to-right. The group also decided to use another atypical practice of keeping catchphrases that appeared in the magazine identical to the ones that appear on the frontispieces of the deluxe editions.[13]

Princess Tomoyo, Koruri, and the other oppressed citizens, having had their birds taken from them, live in hiding within the forest. In order to take back Sakura's feather, Syaoran and the others stand up against the scheming king.

Reception
Initial fan response to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle was that it was "Cardcaptor Sakura for guys." Fans speculated that the series will put a conclusion to one of Clamp's unfinished series X.[47]
The Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle manga series was well received by English-speaking audiences. After the first volume's English release in April 27, 2004, it sold 2,330 copies in May 2004, placing it at the top end of the top 100 sales of that month.[48] It was consistently ranked in the top 10 on the list of Manga Top 50 for every quarterly release of the ICv2 Retailers Guide to Anime/Manga, based on sales from both mainstream bookstores and comic book shops, since its release in May 2004 except for the fourth quarter of 2007, reaching a top rank of number 3.
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle was fairly well received by reviewers, who described it a treat for Clamp fans due to the large number of crossover characters in the series. Critics described the series as being marked by several points of plot twists. For the earlier half of the series, Mikhail Koulikov from Anime News Network described the series as settling into a "predictable pattern" that Melissa Harper, also from Anime News Network, described as somewhat slow, and "frankly a bit boring."[52][53] However from volume 15 onwards, Clamp unleashed a series of "mind-blowing" plot twists that have be foreshadowed frequently throughout the series begin to unfold that were very "stunning", however very confusingly executed due to the sheer number of storylines come together.[54][55][56] While some highlighted felt that the plot went from slow to messy, other critics praised this pacing as letting "the story progress at its own natural momentum," keeping the reader "from being bored by any one literary genre."[57] Critics have described the artwork as "keeping up the standards expected of Clamp" with its high level of detail, though perhaps too much detail, especially during action sequences.[53] The artstyle is "stylish" and "dynamic," characterized by a large number of "sweeping lines curlicues that look unlike anything else in the genre," help bring the action scenes to life for exciting experiences that make you hold your breath.[55][56][57] Ed Sizemore from Comics Worth Reading highlighted the fact that each dimension that the protagonists visit is characterized by its very own look and feel such that "no two worlds are even remotely similar."[57] However, the amount of detail and lack of contrast, while beautiful, often render scenes incomprehensible leaving the reader guessing who is attacking.[55][58] Critics have praised Del Rey's inclusion of english translation notes that aid in understanding the plot, espically due to its crossover nature.[53]
Critics have described the anime adaptation for having a very slow pace, but having a beautiful musical score. Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network faulted the director, Koichi Mashimo, for "downshifting the plot's energy" and as having "too many flashbacks, too many slow pans over inexpressive eyes," that create an end-product that is "tediously formulaic."[59][60] However Carl Kimlinger also praised the musical score as being beautiful as Yuki Kajiura's work has always been.[61]
It was adapted into an anime series, Tsubasa Chronicle (ツバサ·クロニクル ,Tsubasa Kuronikuru), animated by Bee Train, which aired 52 episodes over two seasons during 2005 and 2006.[1] Three OVAs (animated by Production I.G) were also released in two month successions from November 2007 through March 2008.

| 1 | "The Former Part" "Zenpen" (ツバサ春雷記 －前編－) | March 17, 2009 | |
| The episode begins immediately after Kurogane has killed King Ashura, activating a curse placed upon Fay by Fei Wong Reed to trap them in Selece Country using Fay's own magic. Fay's remaining magic is insufficient to send them all to another dimension, so Kurogane cuts off his arm to sacrifice the necessary magic. They arrive in Nihon Country, Kurogane's home world. Princess Tomoyo tells Kurogane that he has begun to understand the meaning of true strength. The hunter Fuuma arrives with an artificial arm for Kurogane from Yūko, paid for by Fay's remaining magic and Tomoyo's dreamseeing ability. Fellow hunter Seishirō arrives in search of the vampire twins Kamui and Subaru. Syaoran attacks Seishiro to reacquire the feather of Sakura's he was seen with in the Ōto arc. Syaoran seizes the feather and is transported into the world of dreams, where he meets Sakura, Watanuki Kimihiro, and the clone Syaoran, whom he prepares to fight. | |||

The Clone gains the upper hand, and manages to knock the original Syaoran out. When Sakura attempts to protect him, the Clone stabs her but finds himself unable to kill her. He teleports her out of the way before taking the feather, but Syaoran awakens and stops the Clone as they reappear in Nihon. The two Syaorans attempt to take the feather and kill each other, but Sakura appears in the way and is impaled on Hien. She declares that she too is a Clone, and that the true Sakura is waiting for Syaoran, before dissolving into sakura petals. Dr. Kyle appears and takes Sakura's soulless body to Reed, and the Clone vanishes in anguish. They learn from Yuko that Reed is in Clow Country, and that Watanuki, Syaoran's other self, paid for this information with his memories. The group then prepares to depart for Clow Country. | |||
