How did you discover TRC?

I remember I'd gone to my friend's house to see a movie. She had left me in her bedroom to check out some of her magazines while she got us some snacks. I was so bored anyway so I started flipping through the pages and I saw some CCS fanart...but that's not what made my heart skip several beats. I reached the middle or so of one of the magazines, and found heaven on earth - Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (Chapter 1)

I had almost fainted when I saw Sakura and Syaoran from CCS...in a new manga and a new style!!! I was beaming so much when my friend came back. I practically pounced on her and demanded her to tell me what it was. Compared to my excitement, she was so bored upon seeing it. She said it was a short story about Sakura and Syaoran after CCS.

Short or not, I was blissful and asked her if I could borrow the magazine. But she refused, telling me she had to return it to her friend. It was ok tho~ as long as I saw my precious S+S again in another manga.

Well, now that "short story" has turned out to be more than 10 volumes long, which I'm very happy about~ The main point is that I'll never forget how I fell in love at first sight with TRC :love4:  *Oh, I'm so emotional atm :cry: Sorry about this, guyz~*

Sya0ran:
Aww...the same thing happened to me except it is different in some ways.  ^^

Well, I have an awesome best friend from Japan and her name is Kimiko.  She was a foreign exchange student at my middle school and we decided to keep in touch with one another since she lives in Japan and I live here in Cali.  The point of this is that while I was viewing her webcam, I saw a stack of shounen magazines and asked her if I could see them.

Meaning, she lifted and flipped all the pages for me while I drooled over the webcam.  XD  She then showed me a cover of (guess?)  TRC right in front!  Low and behold  I saw Syaoran and Sakura.  I asked and bugged her about it and she told me.   She then started scanning and emailing
things over to me from Japan and that's how our bond started.

Basically, I've been a fan since May 21, 2003.  ^__^  I'll never forget that day...it was awesome!   :cool:

Lexi:
That's really similar to way I discovered it :D  Surprisingly enough, when my best friend told me about CCS for the first time I never paid attention to her, thinking that CCS was some lame manga. (Oh, how I want to kick myself for thinking that now :angry:) Even when I saw some pics of CCS in a magazine (kinda the way I saw TRC :)), I refused to like it. (Talk about dumbly stubborn!) Then finally my best friend lent me some CCS manga and forced me to read it. I ended up reading the whole series and eventually falling in love with it :inlove:

So, as you can see my first impression of CCS and TRC were very different. CCS was hate into love while TRC was just love into more love. (TRC was lucky because I already knew S+S from CCS, so that's why I liked it more at first :tongue:)

Okamirei:
mine was sort of "hitsuzen"^^, more fate XD
i met a classmate at the galleria, and we decided to go to the bookstore...luckily, she was also a manga fan >.<. TRC was on the "new releases" shelf that time, but I didn't notice it e_e. But then I saw how strangely familiar the boy's face looked like Syaoran from CCS,. and so then,.it turned out it actually was Syaoran-kun^^;.
but if I hadn't met my classmate at the galleria, I probally wouldn't have known about...or be this obssesed....with TRC^^

Sya0ran:
Yep.  Its great how fate seems to have worked out for us all.  Like, if Kimiko hadn't been in our Student Exchange Program then i wouldn't have known about Tsubasa.  ^^
