CLAMP's Famous Works > Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
How did you discover TRC?
carcarcarrot:
as for me, i used to love CCS, but when TRC appeared in the bookstote i wasn't as obsessed as i used to be, and somehow the storyline didn't appeal to me (well, i don't really like things that are too tragic, and i havn't read anything by Clamp other than CCS so crossover means nothing to me...), so i just left it there...how ignorant i was :P
it was until early this year i saw an episode of TC on TV (about Hanshin Republic) and was very curious. so i decided to give it a try and bought the first two mangas...i ended up buying all 12 mangas (that were available in Hong Kong at that time) within 3 weeks! cost me a fortune (more than HK$350!) but it's totally worth it~^^"

Oo, here we go.
About two years ago I was on the bus with my Inuyasha manga supplier, totally hitting her up for manga to borrow cause I was bored. Well, she was probably trying to distract me so she showed me a picture she drew (I didn't know who they were at the time, but it was that picture of Sakura and Syaoran (closeup) when they're pressed against the glass in that chamber from the first few pages of the manga) and I was like, 'Woah, cool! But the art is kinda funny...'
And she was like, "Here, look, isn't it cool?" And being a total weirdo I was like "MANGA" and started reading it. I got into it a little and begged her to let me borrow it, but she hadn't finished and took it home. I never got to read it from her.
About a year or so later, I found CCS fanfiction and fell in love. I bought several of the books (sadly from the Master of Clow arc, so I got majorly confused) and fell in love with Sakura and Syaoran. My collection of CCS grew and my fanfiction attention turned from the sad Inuyasha stories to the slightly more diverse CCS ones.
One day, my bookstore had no CCS books and so I turned around, looking for something to read. Cause I'm an addict. DNAngel? No, I borrowed from my friend. Kamichama Karin? Borrowed it. Inuyasha? Had most of them. I was completely losing it, about to die if I didn't have SOMETHING to get, and then I SAW IT. Right there, the word CLAMP caught my eye and I was on it. When I saw Sakura and Syaoran my interest was hooked.
But I was afraid and didn't buy it, instead leaving the store dejectedly. A few days later, my friend was going to the mall and I was begging her to buy me the first few manga of Tsubasa because the interest and need to read SS was killing me. She brought back 2 and 3 because they didn't have the first one, but I was hooked anyway. I began zooming online, surfing for pictures and stories and the result is what you see before you.
A fanatic.

Ha ha you guys have much better stories than me. You guys got into it cos of SxS love O.o me, it was bordom.
Ages ago I was getting Chobits from BWYS. I got a couple of chapter of TRC and read them but didnt really get into it and let it be - I was quite the CCS fan at one point and I didnt really like them resuing the characters, it seemed like fanfiction to me - esp when I found out it was an AU series crossover O.o. At that point I was getting Naruto weekly, and FMA hadnt caught up to japan in scanlations. Then I started running out of manga. I went back to BYWS and got pretty much everything they had direct, which was a great big pile of Holic and TRC. I read TRC again - for more than 2 or 3 chapters this time and gradualy got more and more into it, though with holic I was in love by the end of the 3rd chapter. And now here I am waiting anxiously for the chapter every week lol. I grew to love TRC

i read it from a magazine some years ago and i tried to find the manga but it is not sold at my place so i lost interest in it. until last month i found it at stoptazmo.comĀ and at lj and now trc is one of my favourite manga and it's a must download manga every week. hahaha :inlove:

Let's see..
I was in the midst of one of my Card Captor Sakura obsessions (I have a tendency to get obsessed with CCS, Harry Potter and a few other things over and over) and I was just thinking how amazing it would be if CLAMP continued the series somehow.. when I walked into the manga shop in my town - straight into a display of TRC. I remember staring at it and thinking "Wow. They really look like Sakura and Li..".. then I saw the "by CLAMP" and I grabbed the book and turned it over to look at the back cover. I swear my heart stopped for a second. I raced to the counter to buy it and I read it on the bus back home, squee-ing as I turned each page. That was back in.. early 2004? It was only just released in England (or the manga shop had only just got it in stock anyway).
It is quite scary how a lot of these stories seem to have been fate o.o
