By the wonderous CLAMP.
At first glance, it seems simple and easy to figure out. And then, (like with all CLAMP works..) SHABAM! You're sucked in and it takes a turn you didn't see coming. :3
Any Tsubasa fans among us? I'm fairly sure there are.
Come hither and speak your mind!
Reasons you like it?
How did you get into it?
Favorite couples?
Characters?
Got a favorite world our adventuring friends have visited?
Anything else you'd like to share?
Uhhmm.
<3 Quote: For those who aren't familiar, a plot synpopsis: (from www.animenewsnetwork.com )Sakura and Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura are back, but they aren't alone. CLAMP's brought together characters from all their creations for this alternate universe tale about the story of Syaoran, a boy who must travel across worlds with the help of Fye, a magician fleeing his own world, Kurogane, a ninja trying to get back to his own world, and Mokona, a creature given to them them by XXXHolic’s Yuuko, to help on their journey. Together they search for feathers of Sakura's memory in order to save her life.

Favorite couples?
Sakura/Syaoran
and my all time favorite
KuroFai!
Damn, they're so cute together.
Characters?
Fai and Mokona, I don't hate any characters, I like them all, but these two I have a soft side for. Especially Fai.
Got a favorite world our adventuring friends have visited?
I really liked Outo, because it was before things got serious - not that serious is a bad thing - and you got to know some of the characters a bit better. And Sakura and Fai made a cute team in the cafe ( they totally could pass for brother and sister)
And of course everyone loves the Acid Tokyo arc, I'm not different there. Poor Fai ;;
Random?
I'm cosplaying as Fai this fall at Nekocon, if all goes well!!!! =D

haha, I found it while browsing for art. I found this picture that was gorgeous, and I loved it - and then I rummaged online and read the prologue - I'm a sucker for sad things, so I was immediately hooked. The first volume hooked me further (I think I'm a tad bit of a sadist). So I read and read, until I reached the point I am today. Is tarted back when there were only around 3 or 4 volumes *sighs with reminiscence*
I really love Syaoran/Sakura. Aaaand that's about it actually. ^^;
Favorite characer is Fai, or Mokona - they're both adorable and cute! And Fai turns emo, that's just awesome. Especially because we knew nothing about him beforehand.
It really does seem monotonous for a long while, but then, as meggie so poetically put it "shabam!" Of course, I'd always had a hunch it wasn't going to be repetitious.
Basically, I love the story because I'm a sucker for romance, and the more bittersweet and sad (but with a promising happy ending?) the better! (even if it doesn't have a happy ending, as long as it's not gooey and has more plot than kidnapping and sex I'm in.)

Oh gosh, I love Tsubasa to pieces. o 3o
The manga, I mean. The anime was horrible beyond comprehension.
With the exception of the wonderful OVAs~
Reasons you like it?
THE ANGST. THE CRAZY TWISTS AND TURNS.
-clears throat-
I got intrigued of the very familiar faces [ Syaoran and Sakura, who were originally from CCS ], so I decided to give it a try.
Not to mention CLAMP is one of my favorite manga-ka.
How did you get into it?
Simple. I encountered the first volume in the library. xDD
Favorite couples?
Syaoran x Sakura.
Of course, the epic Kurogane x Fay.
Seishiro x Subaru.
Fuuma x Kamui.
Characters?
I adore the whole cast, but my ultimate favorite has got to be Fay.
"Cheerful" characters. I'm a sucker for them. And so Fay got to be a favorite of mine since the beginning of my TRC fangirling.
...His past was a real tear-jerker. ; 3;
Got a favorite world our adventuring friends have visited?
Outo. o 3o
That's the time when I sort of noticed how Kurogane and Fay's relationship could dig a little deeper. Most specifically at the 12th page of chapter 37. <3
I also like the Infinity arc. Loved their outfits.
Anything else you'd like to share?
The epic pages of chapters 166 - 167. I love them lots~

Aha!~ I knew I'd get replies from you two :3
@Kiyohime_19:
Yeeees, the anime sucked balls. DDD:
'Nuff said.
Anyways.
I found the OVAs quite enjoyable too.
Hooray for more CLAMP-fanage, they're definitely one of my top 3 manga-kas.
I almost cried when reading Fai's past, and it takes quite a bit to make me cry... unless I'm PMSing, hahaha >_>
I just started the Infinity arc, I'm up to chapter 141, currently, and, you may wanna remove that link, because if mods [ Gaia mods, not guild mods] see it you could get banned D: Bannage would not be fun. So far I'm liking Infinity a lot, as well.
Speaking of those chapters, 166-167, I actually bought the volume those are in, and I don't even own any of the others yet, haha. They were just too wonderful to resist the urge to buy ;-; Of course, when presented with the opportunity, I'll buy the rest....whenever that will be D:
@Star:
Man, I didn't know you'd been reading it that long! surprised I remember when the first one or two was released in English, Heather spotted it before me, and she's like, "ZOMG They look like Sakura and Li from Card Captors!" And I was all, "Ohhh yeah, it's that cross-over! surprised " Good times, good times.
Ahaha, it's awesome that Fai's emo? xD;

haha, yeah, i've been in it a looooooooooooooooong time. I remember when a lot of series were just babies. I remember looking at bleach when it only had like 5 volumes and thinking "that looks kinda stupid" (those of you who now know of my Bleach obsession, quiet you!). I remember when Inuyasha had like. . .14, and I never paid much attention to RK to remember how many volumes it had. . .I remember way, way back. We'll keep it at that. XD
So if I was on my desktop instead of the laptop, I'd post my favorite page (I've it saved. :3) But I'm not, so it will have to wait until i get off work tomorrow.
Fai's emoness is lovable <3

Although it had beautiful soundtracks... What a waste. The OVAs were superb. The sheer amount of KuroFay-ness that the anime strongly lacked made me a very happy fangirl. I reeeeally hope for more OVAs though. Like... a couple for Infinity, another set for Celes, and so on. Yes. The CLAMP women are geniuses, it seems. JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY BRAINS THEY'VE RAPED. A person would understand the true meaning of mindrape once he's gotten past Infinity arc. o 3o LOL! It was certainly depressing. He's gone through so much, and so I'm glad that he has already found his special someone. Which is you-know-who. Infinity... they had such pretty clothes on that place. ;A; Whoops. Thanks. xDD I was too lazy to dig through my Photobucket junk. Has that volume come out here at North America yet? O___o I didn't know that... shaaaaame.

I had read the first two books of xxxHolic and from there I learned about Tsubasa. After reading number 1, I became hooked. Fay is by far my favorite.

I haven't heard much of the music, pretty much only the first theme, another random one and some music from the first episode. I was told not to watch it, and given several examples of why not to, and that was enough for me D: Though, I did watch the first episode, or maybe just part of it....t'was quite a while ago....
This is how into the OVA I was, I almost watched it all in one night, WITH dial-up internet service, haha. I forced myself to stay awake, I was like, "MUST...WATCH MOARRRR!"
I'm hoping for more OVAs as well! I wonder when the Acid Tokyo one will be dubbed.....hmm. Well, we'll find out when it happens. I doubt I'll be able to buy it for quite some time though D:
You should see how into Fai and KuroFai I was there for awhile, I have like, 3 pages of fanarts fav'd on deviantart xD;
Aahahaha, brain rapage = genius material. :3
And yeppers it has, it's the only volume I own of it, it looks so lonely beside my Cardcaptors collection hahahaa. >_>;
Am I the only one that wants a Fai plush??? :3 (yeah, I'm plushie obsessed, if they're pulled off right)

I've been reading the parts of Fai's past, so sad ;;
I already knew what happened, and i had skimmed the chapters before, but now that I'm reading them, they make me emo ;;

I've read about it, so I thought I may as well give it a go. But I've been spending waaaay too much on manga lately (x___X) I think I'll get through what I've got before I go splurging on more. Hehe

Ahh Tsubasa.I admit I just started it last year, and I haven't read the first 2 volumes :X but I-yes will go back to them when I remember to check them out...what was I going to say...Oh right, but when I read it I fell in love with it already.My friend sugested it after finding out I was reading CCS, and it has the right mix of battle scenes and lovey parts between characters to catch me...and I think Mokona brought me into the series the most too..
