Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE will be coming back with a new chapter in August 20th's Weekly Shonen Magazine. It will be linked to xxxHOLic Rei.

(I assume xxxHOLic Rei Volume 3's drama CD featuring Syaoran being released the same day is no coincidence.)

You definitely won't hear me complaining about more TRC, that's for sure, but I still remember how chaotic the last chapters were and how many plot holes we were left with...so I hope this will be Clamp's chance to redeem themselves and this time, for real, give me a beautiful memory of TRC series as a whole :)

One thing for sure, if Clamp are trying to make it last, it would be easy: Syaoran/Fye/Kuro are traveling again through countless worlds for all Eternity, literally (for Syaoran at least), so they could keep it going for a while if they wish to. I can only guess this journey will be about how to end it and find a world not only for his parents (the clones) but also a way for himself to finally settle down? On the other hand, since this is the price he chose to pay himself in order to escape the void between time and space he was enclosed in, I don't know if it can be overturned that easily...

I'm not sure how I feel about this. :/ I was super excited when they restarted Legal Drug, but their work on D&D hasn't been too impressive so far. This is different though, in that LD was unfinished and as far as we knew TRC was complete.

It feels like they're just going back to their popular series because they know it will sell. I reallllly hope that is not the case and that this has been the plan all along.

As long as it's good art and storytelling on CLAMP's part though, I'll be happy.

"It feels like they're just going back to their popular series because they know it will sell."
This is all it feels like anymore. -_- I'm sorry to them if it's not the case, but it's hard not to get that impression... Even though they went back to LD when they started D&D (for which I was also super excited), I haven't been overly impressed with it either. And they still have other things sitting around unfinished, but in the meantime they're releasing nothing but CCS merch, xxxHolic, and now this. I'm scared to get attached to anything from them anymore that isn't ~super popular~ out of fear it'll just get dumped on hiatus and never finished (or end up lackluster like D&D).

Sorry for the rant, I'm just... a little frustrated. And this announcement isn't helping.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I'm trying not to be cynical, but I'm finding it really difficult. I guess I'll find out if my worries are justified in August.

Are you sure? It was said the 3 volumes of Gohou Drug covered 1/5 of the whole story... meaning it should have been 15 volumes long. Didn't they release material for 2 more volumes with D&D? It would mean we still are missing around 10 volumes... unless CLAMP shortened things up.

I've read that interview where they mention the 3 volumes being 1/5 of the story too, but looking at the D&D chapters themselves, CLAMP seems to be cramming a whole bunch of explanation in a small space, making it feel like we're barreling toward an early conclusion. There was also some dialogue that made it sound like things were going to be coming to a head sooner rather than later. Maybe that's not what nokiirat meant, but that's my perception.

So I'm not sure what the source for this post is, but they claimed that CLAMP ended up using a lot of the LD plot ideas in xxxHolic instead. In which case it wouldn't be too surprising that D&D has been compressed so much from the original 15 volumes they intended.

Might be. Let's see now if they'll continue it and for how long...

that's good! :) I didn't like how TRC ended, so it's nice to see it back to finish the unfinished stories *coughvampiretwinscough* and I also hope it's more like the second half of the manga, not like the world-of-day style from the first part :P

Ooooooh! I was going to re-read Tsubasa when the manga gets re-released later this summer - but now I feel like getting started on it tonight. It makes me glad to hear that this is getting a sequel :D

Although I have to admit, it makes me a bit sad that they aren't continuing with their other unfinished works (it's been over ten years, but I'll never give up hope on X... even if it is hopeless lol). I was really disappointed with D&D when the story began to heavily rely on knowing about the Wish series (not that it's a bad series - In fact I love it) rather than keeping to their own storyline. On the other hand, with xxxHolic as one of my favorite mangas I've been nothing but ecstatic about the recent continuation - although I'm not a big fan about entwining the ending with both Tsubasa and xxxHolic either :/ I hope it works out well.

This is great! I don't really know how I could love this with "no" Sakura on their journey since this'll probably be about Syaoran and the others, still... It's great! Best news I've heard all week and the week's just started :')

I want to know what happened to Gate7. TRC feels like recycled elements from their past series.

Now this is not something I was expecting to see happening, but it sure made me happy. And it's a series and not just a special which is even better since I can start collecting Tsubasa tankobon books again, which is pretty fun but I'm guessing the first one will be out in late 2015 or early 2016, so I sure have some waiting to do. But since it's just a miniseries I guess it might not even cover a whole manga volume in lenght. And if this gets popular we might get a continuation of the Production I.G Tsubasa OVA's which I think would be pretty fantastic.

CLAMP really should continue doing Gate 7 since it's a pretty great series(That deserves an anime) but if I had to choose between this new Tsubasa and Gate 7... I would probably have to go with Tsubasa. And let's not even talk about the X hiatus.

I am going to be honest here and say that Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is my favorite CLAMP series, it might not be their best work if I am being honest but it's certainly still my favorite. I also do hope that they keep the cool clothes they had in the last chapter and in this new picture.
