Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle: Volume 27

by CLAMP, 174 pages

Fei-Wang and Yûko both put into play long-germinating plans as the companions multiply their numbers and join forces to save all the worlds through which they've travelled and maintain the laws of space and time that Fei-Wang would subvert and destroy.

It's magic against magic and secrets against secrets in this action-filled penultimate volume of the series. At the root of everyone's tragic histories and present problems lies Fei-Wang's bottomless, fragile ego. He has heartlessly confounded physical and temporal laws purely for the satisfaction of accomplishing what he believes Clow Reed--his long-time rival and ancestor to a portion of the companions--could not: to bring the dead back to life.

Shared faces, shared genes, and variously crisscrossed and converging paths make for some reader confusion amidst a highly emotional show-down. Will it all make sense in the end? Will it bother me too much if it doesn't? :)
