Crossover Info: Mokona sends a special drink to Yuko over in the pages of a future (not yet released) volume of xxxHolic. Am not sure which issue she will get the gift but will add that info here when it's released.
While I found the last volume to be rather bland, I can now see that it was purely setup for this kickarse volume that has got to be one of the best in the series yet! This arc completely breaks the cycle of the gang going to another world, find a feather and move on and brings up several questions, answers and clues about the series mysteries that I didn't know even existed. For example we find out that Mokona can actually teleport everyone to the next world no matter where they are in the current world. I honestly never thought of that possibility before so it came as a very nice suprise when it came out of nowhere. We're also given a lot more focus on the two Syaorans, as well as Fei Wang Reed and his connection to Yuko and Clow Reed.
Speaking of Yuko, fans of xxxHolic will really find reading this volume worth while as we get to see an above average dose of Yuko this time around and find out a little bit more about how she is and how she can help Sakura and Syaoran. It also becomes apparent that she's aware of what Syaoran really is. We know that there's another Syaoran with a connection to him but it looks like there's a lot more to it than that.
Kurogane and Faye are used rather well and mysteriously here with both characters being thrown into a situation that none of them have been before which leads to a showdown between Kurogane and Syaoran which is amazing to see and I can't wait to see it animated in the anime.
I also got the feeling in this volume that at least one character will die before the end of the series, possibly even all off the characters (which would make for a rather dramatic ending in my opinion).
This volume doesn't disapoint on any level and finishes with a cliffhanger that actually makes you want to read the next volume asap! The story is moving very quickly now and it just keeps getting better and better!
5 stars all the way! Grab it now!
