THE SUMMARY
This story begins with Syaoran, a young man who wants to become an archeologist, for several years, has been coming back from his work with excavation in the ruins of the Kingdom of Clow. There, he met his first real friend, Sakura, who was the Princess of Clow and his close childhood friends with a close relationship, although their backgrounds and lineage differed. Unbeknownst to them, Sakura posesses a strange power that is powerful enough to change the world when she has a vision of a mysterious symbol and places she has never seen.On the fateful day, a symbol embedded into Clow's ruins causing Sakura being lifeless and without memory. Sensing that incident, Syaoran rushs to the ruin thus sees Sakura standing on the symbol on the ground. Glowing wings appear on her back and a mysterious force begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. He rescues her in time, but her wings are scattered across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "wings" were the manifestation of her soul and memories; without them, she will die.
In order to save Sakura, Yukito sends Syaoran and the unconscious Sakura to the Dimensional Witch, Yuko. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja exiled from his world by Princess Tomoyo, and Fay D. Flourite, a mage who is on the run from King Ashura. Each of them must pay with what he values most in order to gain the power to cross dimensions. For Kurogane, it's his sword Ginryu, and for Fay, it's the tattoo on his back. And Syaoran must pay with his relationship with Sakura: even if he is able to retrieve all of her memories, she'll never remember anything about him or their relationship.
Only when the three agree to her terms does Yuko offer them with the power to cross dimensions; a white creature named Mokona Modoki. Now, Syaoran must travel across different worlds and dimensions to retrieve her memories along with Kurogane and Fay, with the same wish to travel worlds. While traversing through worlds to find Sakura's feathers, they are forced to overcome many dangers and opponents, some of whom are figures from Syaoran's past who wish to collect Sakura's feathers for their own reasons as they are seen to be objects that hold great power.

When I noticed the release of this anime in the shop for first time, I thought it was a continuation of the Cardcaptor Sakura but it's not from Cardcaptor Sakura. Wow, it's new story with the same characters from Cardcaptor Sakura and some from Chobits and many exisiting previous original works by CLAMP. And oh yeah, the new characters are introduced in this anime as well.
Damn, it's really great and amazing story as they travel through dimension to dimension, they encounters with the people with same physical appearance but it's not same people that they knew, only different background or attitude. That makes this series more interesting with a new setting on each dimension. Samurai dimension... Futuristic dimension... and many dimension, they make friend with new friends from each dimension.
The feather of Sakura seems is an important element in this anime. Also can said to be dangerous thing where many evil people are after it. The feather has mysterious power which can grant the people's wish. That's why Syaoran together with them travel through many of the dimension to retrieve the feathers from falling to wrong hands. Even if they have to use force or fight with the evil people in order to retrieve the feathers!
OMG!!! As the story in the manga is getting adopted to darker and more complex tones in the latter half of the story, the 'other' Syaoran appear in front of the four travellers. Once the 'other' Syaoran appears, Syaoran suddenly become different person, being ruthless being apparently without any feelings or heart, hurting his former friends mentally and physically. Is he turning to be bad person?
You've better to read this manga if you are curious about this story development. FYI, this story is getting popular now... ^_^
