Plot Summary
In another world, Syaoran and Sakura live very different lives from each other. Sakura, the princess of the kingdom of Clow, and Syaoran, the son of an archaeologist, are best friends. One night, Syaoran checks on the ruins he has been excavating and sees Sakura standing on a symbol in the ground of the ruins, strange wings formed from her back. Sakura is unresponsive and a mysterious force lifts her and begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. Syaoran managed to save her before she was engulfed, but not before the feathers of her wings are scattered across worlds. Yukito, the High Priest of Clow, quickly realizes that these feathers are the memories and soul of Sakura and that without them she will die. It is now up to Syaoran to find the feathers and return them to Sakura in order to save her.
With haste, he sends a worried Syaoran and a lifeless Sakura to the dimensional witch, Yūko. In this world he meets Kurogane, an ill-mannered ninja, and Fay D. Flourite, an immensely powerful magician. In order for them to each travel the worlds to obtain what they wish, Yūko requires them to pay with their most precious item. Kurogane is forced to give his father's sword,Genryuusai, Fai is required to give the tattoo on his back which gives him power and Syaoran must give all of Sakura's memories of him, additionally paying Sakura's debt as those are also her most precious item. Now content with the gifts she's received, Yūko bestows Mokona, a white creature, unto the group, enabling them to travel worlds.
While originating with a light, carefree tone, the manga eventually takes a darker and more intricate plot later in the volumes. Also, because of the cross-over characters with xxxHOLIC, the two mangas occasionally intertwine. This tends to reveal a lot of sub-plot that you don't see in Tsubasa, like conversations between Mokona, Soel, and Yūko.
Characters
Primary Characters
- Syaoran
The son of the archaeologist in Clow country responsible for beginning research on the Clow ruins; he befriended Sakura upon arriving in Clow country with his father when he was very young. In the beginning he was shy and often recoiled at Sakura's outreaches to him, though over the years began to open up and adapt in his environment. Syaoran had a habit of being very formal with Sakura, as she was his country's princess, regardless of Sakura's efforts to persuade him otherwise. He takes pride in being knowledgeable and is constantly seeking new things to learn as well as improving upon what he already knows. He is resilient and always provides protection for Sakura when she is in need of aide. When Sakura lost her memories, a desperate Syaoran was sent to another world to begin his journey to help Sakura to regain them.
- Princess Sakura
The princess of Clow country and the younger sister of the now King Touya; Sakura is a caring girl and has a genuinely good nature, because of this she is very adored by her people. She befriended Syaoran at a young age, her bright personality forcing him from his shell. Her bright outlook, clumsiness and often naive way of thinking eventually caused Syaoran to warm up to her and created an unbreakable friendship. Before Sakura had the chance to tell Syaoran of her feelings for him, she was called back to the castle. Shortly after, an event happened that caused Sakura to lose all her memories in the form of feathers. Now, all that remains of Sakura is an empty shell of what once was and the thousands of her scattered memories.
