In order to save Fai’s life, Kurogane makes a deadly deal with the witch Yuko. But it’s a price more than one person will have to bear. Everyone pays a price in the latest, most dark installments of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. Kurogane’s decision is one he made alone, despite the consequences to himself or Fai. As long as Fai lives, he is his only focus, one that may blindside him to the consequences of his rash decision. In the dimension of vampires, Kamui and Sabaru also have a deal to broker that could change the face of a ravaged planet – and throw up against the Vampire Hunter, and retrieve one of Sakura’s feathers. It all weaves into an intricate web that will threaten to undo them all. It’s a dark and dramatic series of chapter. The relationship dynamics are rivalry and go through world shaking changes in this volume. It is a telling part for each of Syaoran’s camp warriors; not the least of which is Sakura seeing the suffering her friends pay time and again to help her find her lost memories. Sakura chooses to embark on the dangerous quest to meet Yuko’s price alone. The quest changes at this part. It’s now not only a matter of recovering for feathers. For Kurogane, it has become a quest to turn Fai back to the way he always was. For Sakura, it has turned into a search to restore Syaoran’s lost soul, even at the cost of her precious memories.
IN SUMMARY:
It’s a shocking turn of events in the latest dark chapters of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. |
