In this volume of Tsubasa we see the conclusion of the epic race in which Sakura and her friends have a chance to win another of her memory feathers. As predicted, Sakura wins the race, but the plot twist on who was sabotaging the race is great and the highly active artwork is wonderful. We’re also treated to a proper confrontation with their rival, a mysterious character who looks extremely similar to Xxxholic’s Watanuki (but with long hair and an antiquated wardrobe). Thankfully Monoka’s abilities save the day, but this turning point does wonderfully to spur on the larger plot lines besides the quest to regain Sakura’s memories. ( )

2012 Review:
Thankfully the Piffle Princess world is done with.


2007 Review:
Sakura wins, but Dr Kyle" shows up and proves that he too can travel between worlds. A drunk Mokona, black or white, is absolutely hilarious. Probably wouldn't let a younger teen read this because of its funny portrayal of alcohal. Not a good example for impressionable minds." ( )
