 I think oyceterhas convinced me to give Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles a second chance(read it a while back, liked it until it got boring, dropped it)  See here(very spoilery, but be sure to read all the comments, too)

Some of that stuff sounds utterly amazing in every way possible, both good and bad.

But I almost must get past my belief that in the end, CLAMP will go FUBAR because they don't know how to end things(I have yet to forgive them for the endings of Wish and Chobits)

Tsubasa has just enough interesting points to make me keep picking it up... but I would have liked it a lot more as a stand-alone series rather than a really obvious tie-in to every other CLAMP work. I was always a big Card Captor Sakura fan because I thought it was a clever, heartfelt little shoujo series... but Sakura is stripped of all personality in Tsubasa and Syaoran is made into a generic hero. I was hoping it would get better, but no... even in the most recent chapters, Sakura is the same blank-eyed zombie whose "purity" and "kindness" will save everyone. x__x And you're right... since it's a CLAMP series, we already know the ending will be a letdown. If it ends at all. I'm kind of disappointed with them now... they used to slyly skewer the conventions of shoujo manga with really engaging series like CCS and Rayearth, or have shocking endings like Tokyo Babylon and RG Veda... and now instead of being a refreshing alternative to the mainstream, they are the mainstream!

Haven't read Wish but the ending of Chobits made me dispise CLAMP. The only good ending they've had was in Man of Many Faces and it would have been tough to ruin such a short and silly series.
