by CLAMP, 183 pages With a boost from Yûko, Mokona and the boys follow Sakura's trail back to the Kingdom of Clow, where Fei-Wang has cut off the world from time, forcing its denizens to repeat the same few hours over and over again. But why this world? Why this day? How does it all fit into his own wish? Even after all this time together, the companions still have their secrets, and Syaoran's may supply at least some of the answers.
Dude?! How many times have I said, "Dude?!" while reading this series?! Every time something like this happens, I wish I had the whole stack of books up to this point to go back and reread for clues. I'm not even sure what we've just learned, what with independent wishes to turn back time, souls separated from their bodies, lost and recovered memories, future visions, "images," true twins, and alternate / parallel worlds and dimensions that may or may not have their own versions of the same things (or people). It is all so very, very complicated. But the characters are so endearing, you stick with them and root for them, even if you're sometimes confused as to what exactly you're sticking with them through or what you're actually rooting for them to accomplish. And, of course, the lovely art helps. Ultimately, I just want them all to be happy, whatever that may mean for each of them.
But, seriously. Dude.
