about: FAQ: question 1
Is Tsubasa a Card Captor Sakura sequel?
If you read the Story section, you'll know by now that it has nothing
to do with Card Captor Sakura. When CLAMP decided that a little
bit older versions of Syaoran and Sakura would appear in Tsubasa
~RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE~, people who were eager to see the lovely couple
again spread tons of rumours about Tsubasa being a Card Captor Sakura
sequel, but if you haven't noticed already, that's not true! The
only things they have in common are their main characters and that
they were both created by the same people ^^;; Even if there are
some moments in the manga which focus on the relationship between
Syaoran and Sakura, Tsubasa's genre is nearer to shounen (manga
for young boys, with more action and battles) than to shoujo (manga
for young girls, primarily focusing on love relationships). But
anyway, CLAMP always mix elements from both genres in almost all
of their works, so...
about: FAQ: question 2
Why do characters from other manga appear in Tsubasa?
I've seen many people confused when they started reading Tsubasa
because of characters from other series appearing there, so I'll
try to make that point clear too.
Before Tsubasa, CLAMP have always liked to include characters from
other series made by them in their own manga (most famous examples
are Tokyo Babylon and X, or the CLAMP Gakuen trilogy -20 Mensou
ni Onegai!!, Gakkuen Tokkei Duklyon and CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan-).
But they decided to go even further with Tsubasa: travelling between
different worlds was a perfect excuse. These characters are physically
and mentally similar to the ones appearing in other manga, but they're
not exactly the same. For example, if you could ask Yuzuriha about
things that happened in X, she wouldn't have a clue about what you're
saying ;P They were born, raised and live in different places and
so they have different memories and experiences, even if their souls
and personalities are the same.
It's very difficult to explain, so I suggest you to read Tsubasa
now and you will probably figure it out way much better ^^
