Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Volumes 6 and 7

[laceblade]

Yay, Fai icon! It is simple, but I really like the line art in Tsubasa (I think my love of the line art in the xxxHolic manga goes without saying). ALSO, Fai is always smiling, and because this is CLAMP, HE IS PROBABLY TOTALLY EVIL! We'll see, though.

My boyfriend Antoine has been following the xxxHolic anime since it came out, I think. He has now excitedly read the available manga in its entirety (almost all in one day, I think. There is a reason this man is my boyfriend!). Apparently, the cross-over value increases as both xxxHolic and Tsubasa go on, because he was opposed to reading Tsubasa manga before, but has since changed his mind!


OMF, I keep thinking they're going to run out of character crossovers that make me squee, but then it's the CLAMP School Defenders Duklyon people! OMF, and RG Veda! WTF, Seishiro?! AND CLOVER! How many crossovers does this volume have?

(And as a side note, I forgot to record how excited I was a volume or two ago, when the CLAMP School Detectives showed up. They are so cute! I love them!)

So....Is Fai suicidal, then? He was all, "I will not fight hard enough!" And Kurogane was all, "GRRR, I will finish this battle for you, and then chide you for wanting to die!" Or did I misinterpret that? Poor Fai! Don't die just because you're probably evil!

OMF, Seishiro! And he recognizes Syaoran, which means he's world-hopping, too! And there's a book about vampires. Of course, my inner-geek would love it if it were called VAMPYRE, but I'll take what I can get.

Volume 7
Who is Seishiro searching for? Subaru, of course. And Hokuto?

Oh, Seishiro-san. Always waiting beneath the cherry blossoms.

Fai can't really be dead, can he?! OMF, yay, neither of them are dead! The virtual reality was a nice twist, especially given how much I didn't like Angelic Layer.

I miss the 19th century clothing of Fairy Tale World! :[

The Kurogane/Fai stuff is largely centered around one placing value on every life but his own, and one valueing all life, and thinking a person should value their life first and foremost. It's an extreme and interesting ideology clash, and goes interesting places later on.

I love the take on Seishiro/Subaru here.

Interesting! My boyfriend and I actually had this debate last night, in that I said I would gladly suffer and die so that someone else didn't have to, whereas he would only do it if lots of people wouldn't have to. DOES THIS MEAN THAT I AM LIKE FAI?

I want to meet Subaru! Also, Kamui and Kotori and Hokuto and everyone else and their mom (sometimes, literally).

Hmm...not really. Kurogane would gladly suffer and die to save others, but his own death would be the absolute last option. He'd give up his life to save one of the others, but his goal would be to get them both to safety. Fai would suffer and die with no thought to his own survival, and without any consideration for trying to live.
