... *in semi-coherent shock*

Today just may have the been the most unproductive day of my life.... ever. There is only one thing (besides... eating? ; and briefly cutting out collars for cosplay with Tina's help) that I did today....

Read all of available manga chapters for Tsubasa RESERVoir Chronicle.

*sigh*


So. You may wonder why I even read this. The reason... is KuroFay. (Hey, 'tleast I'm honest!) I recently heard (well, read) someone commenting on the sacrificing of limbs... and I had heard about the eye long before... so I decided that I was finally interested enough to give it another try. ;;;;

See, I had tried to read this and get into it when the first chapter was released, but I couldn't bring myself to care very long... I lost interest a whole... 4 chapters in, I believe. I suspect this also had a lot to do with the utter crap quality of the scans available back then. (What can I say? I'm rather shallow when it comes to manga... >_>)

So, when I started reading this, I expected to have to force myself to continue.. But MAN WAS I WRONG. TT___TT This time around, I didn't hate Yuuko (which a definite improvement) and Syaoran pissed me off less... well until he ripped out Fay's eye, but I still like the real (?) one... er the one who was imprisoned.

And FAY. .............. *___* I liked him a great deal BEFORE the whole angsty Fay arcness, but that just sealed it all. The way Kurogane sacrificed his arm was possibly one of the most romantic (this is where I had to question my own interpretations of "romance") events I've ever read. So perfect. (>//< )b --♫~ (Oh, and the whole "Hyuu~" is ridiculously ... cute. Damn you Fay. D: I will never be able to whistle normally again.)

I really like how complicated everything's become, with the constant weaving of wishes and sacrifices... esp. behind people's backs. It does sadden me that Fie (Why, yes, Fie came into Tsubasa too! Maybe he was running from Auden.) Fay has lost all his magic now (of course, this is bound to change, I suppose...) but I wouldn't do anything to change it. His and Kurorin's constant stream of sacrifices and little.. things back and forth are too valuable. :x

So uh. In conclusion... I am shocked. But pleased. Very very pleased, and astounded by how good this series actually is. CLAMP, you may have finally renewed my faith in you. o_o;;

tsubasa, omg, manga
