Having a dream about cuddly rabbit creatures, Kimhiro sees them flying around while one large, dark one is laid on a cushion fanning itself while a decorative eggplant is with him. Thinking it is the first dream he has had that year, he is content with it, and if Himawari thinks so too, then who is he to argue?
Between them they try to analyse the elements of the dream, but when he asks Himawari about her dream, she says it was a bad one where she is in darkness being pursued by something, but she does not know what it is until Kimhiro is chased down the street by it himself, realising it is Himawari's dream where he is helped by Domeki's grandfather on a horse firing an arrow at the beast to take it down. When he recounts the dream sequence back to Yuko at the shop, she tells him that his act of giving Himawari the madelines as a thank you for telling him her dream were making him unwittingly become a dream buyer. This phenomenon causes him to go out at her request to see if he can find the dream seller he can sell the other dream to in the hope that he can find out why this has occurred.
On meeting the dream seller, he gets to choose three dreams for himself as the dream he sells to the male impresses him so very much. A wish is granted when Yuko lets Syaoran-kun from Tsubasa materialise in front of them both as one on a mission. This is a nice crossover reminding the reader of the other Tsubasa novels and the characters, and the interweaving of the two is made that much more interesting.
The art continues the trend of CLAMP drawing their characters in an original style using the light and darkness of the panels to bring out the magical look they are well known for. Perfectly fun and fantastical, this series really knows how to open the minds of the readers.
IN SUMMARY:
Other worldly, fun and full of surprises - CLAMP give the reader what they want. |
