Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Manga//Anime)


One of my favourite Anime//Manga
Story is about Syaoran, the son of the Syaoran Li and Sakura Kinomoto, is sent into the shop of the Dimensional Witch, Yūko, by his parents because of a vision his mother foresaw. Yūko sends him to Clow Country (The Country of the Eternal Tower) for seven days where he arrives seven days before the birthday of that dimension's Sakura who looks like a younger version his mother. Over the seven days, the two begin to fall in love with each other. On Syaoran's final day in Clow Country, or the day of Sakura's birthday, Fei Wong Reed appears and, in spite of Syaoran's efforts to stop him, places a seal of death on Sakura that will eventually kill her. Syaoran tells Yūko that he chooses to remain in Clow Country at the price of never seeing his family and friends back in Japan again. He spends years searching for a way to remove the seal, but his searches are to no avail. When the seal is about to consume Sakura, Syaoran asks Yūko to turn time back to the day Fei Wong Reed placed the seal of death on Sakura in exchange for being Fei Wong Reed's prisoner until Syoaran reaches his current age.
The series starts several years after Syaoran wound back time, and it follows the clone of Sakura and of Syaoran, both creations of Fei Wong Reed. This Syaoran is a young archaeologist investigating a nearby ruin. Sakura has a vision of a mysterious symbol Syaoran found in the ruins. When she visits Syaoran in the ruins the next day, she stands on the symbol opening a secret room and disappears into it. Syaoran chases after and finds her with a pair of ghostly wings being pulled into the wall. He rescues her, but then her wings disintegrate into feathers that scatter across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "feathers" were the manifestation of her soul; without them, she will die.
Yukito sends the two to the Dimensional Witch, Yūko. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja who wishes to return to his home after being banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo in order to learn what true strength is, and Fay D. Flourite, a magician who fled his world and wishes never to return to avoid being forced to kill the King Ashura of his home world. In order to gain the power to cross dimensions, each must pay with what he or she values most. Kurogane pays with his family's heirloom, the sword Ginryū. Fay pays with the tattoo on his back that suppresses his magical power. Syaoran and Sakura pay with their relationship; even if Syaoran is able to retrieve all of Sakura's memories, she will never remember him. When the three agree to her terms, Yūko present them with the one of two creatures named Mokona Modoki who holds the power to cross dimensions. The group of five then set out on their journey across dimensions in search of Sakura's feathers.
