Mmm-hmm.

Well, Tsubasa is officially going to be at least 23 volumes long, if not longer.

Yeah, there's that little pacing problem again.

On the other hand, I am both looking forward to and dreading the upcoming OAV series, because it's the Tokyo arc, and it will of course be full of woe and angst and gore. But, on the other hand, it's the part of the story where Sakura finally rises up and kicks some righteous ass. It's like CLAMP finally remembered that Sakura is supposed to be, you know, awesome.

That is exactly my problem with Tsubasa. That they turned Sakura into a helpless damsel and Syaoran into a one-dimensional shounen fighting hero.

But seriosly, in the Tokyo arc? Sakura is unbelievably badass. She fights a shitload of monsters single-handedly. And then she continues to be unbelievably badass throughout the rest of the manga (at least, up through the current chapter). It's like her character does a complete 180. Of course, given that the Tokyo arc gives her a couple of damn good reasons to get pissed off at the world, I can see where the sudden kicking-ass-and-taking-names comes from.
