Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle: Volume 17

by CLAMP, 182 pages

The desperate companions and their new acquaintances make a slew of interwoven, sacrifice-laden wishes with the space-time witch Yûko, each taking on him- or herself a portion of the burden to save their friends and the fragile local community.

Kurogane takes responsibility for Fai's life, but at a cost the self-loathing Fai may never learn to accept. And as Yûko asks for a volunteer to carry out the final requirement of the group bargain, Sakura steps forward, tired of idly watching everyone else fight and hurt for her sake. She must go alone. And she will not return unscathed...if she returns at all. As the volume closes, those who remain need to regroup and renew their trust in one another and themselves and then move forward, hoping to find greater healing as they go.

This series's intricate visuals, plotting, and characters have made me a fangirl, no question.
