This’s one of CLAMP’s masterpiece that just ended the series at chapter 233. The special poin about this manga is CLAMP revived almost all of their previous manga’s character into this series. All mixed up well and have role even just a bit. The main character, Sakura and Syaoran, taken from Card Captor Sakura series. Yuko and Watanuki, taken from their other series xxxHolic. xxxHolic released almost in the same time as TRC, seems like manga pair. The connection of these manga really clear. If you want to understand the story completely, I suggest you read those two series. The only original main character are Fai and Kurogane.

My thoughts:
This’s the best cross-over that I ever read. All mixed up well and the storyline not boring and I enjoy reading it. The anime is adaptation from the manga, so most of it all the same. I like it very much when Yuko said this, “Nothing in this world is a coincidence. Everything is Hitsuzen”. This’s the best quote I ever read, and really moved me. At first, this series seems very light and just ordinary adventure. But, it isnt CLAMP if they don't make interesting and twisting plot. I satisfied with the ending, while some people want more TRC. I think it's best this way. I have a doubt that CLAMP will continue this series at xxxHolic, since that series havent end yet, and the bond between this two series is really tight.
9/10 for TRC, nice work CLAMP!!
