I decided to check out Tsubasa recently so I could understand its frequent crossovers with XXXHolic, but I stopped at one volume. It's clearly a series for CLAMP aficionados; I liked it on its own terms, but I can tell how much I'm missing. ('Holic is the only CLAMP series I've read much of.) I'm not yet invested in the "real" Sakura, Syaoran, etc. What's more, there have been
two "what the hell is going on" guides published for Tsubasa, so I get the feeling even faithful readers have trouble keeping up.
As for 'Holic, I checked that out on the strength of
this crossover, which I found while looking for Hell Girl fic (there's not a lot around). As I implied in the latter show's fiver, Yuuko really does look like a grown-up Enma Ai -- albeit one who's gone from impassive to mischievous. The theme song shot of
Yuuko in a yukata makes me double-take a lot.
I like 'Holic so far, but the art style is a major impediment. "Spindly" does not begin to describe people's limbs in this series.
Watanuki gets the worst of it.
