Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle: Volume 15

by CLAMP, 185 pages

Syaoran and company find themselves in the middle of a deadly war over fresh water in a world reminiscent of a modern-day Tokyo devastated by daily acid rain showers. When the bedraggled inhabitants they encounter finally realize they're not after their water supply, they take them in. But how will the armed-to-the-teeth locals and their strange young leader react if the companions discover that the mysterious power protecting their hosts' precious resource is one of Sakura's memory feathers--which they mean to retrieve?

Meanwhile, Kurogane asks smiling Fai some pointed personal questions, normally sweet Syaoran displays some disturbingly unlike-himself behavior, and Sakura, unconscious since the previous installment, becomes trapped in a dream that draws her soul into the liquid depths beneath what was once Tokyo's city hall.

Still pretty, enjoyably complicated, and chock-full of nunununu-ness.
