Wonderful CLAMP series conclusion. Felt like it could have gone on longer.
Ending was pretty rushed but I liked what CLAMP was going for. I have some mixed feelings about the huge age gap between our two love interests. Really not my cup of tea.
I really like how the whole series concluded. I do have some mixed feelings that Kobato is only 16 and Fujimoto has to be at least twice that, more most likely cuz he was already in college before, but still largely very sweet and hopeful for everyone.
Kobato was a really wonderful series. I enjoyed meeting some old characters again and the new characters and world building also were quite pleasant. It builds on much of the old universe and lore and makes you smile several times over, when you encounter titbits from other series. The new characters quickly find a way into your heart.
Sometimes the typologies and actions reminded me too much of other characters and therefore the outcome of the story was exactly as I had expected it to be. But that might also be because of the love for certain themes and topics. Wishes, sacrifices, secret wishes, the power of love, memory loss or regaining of such memories, lovers of different worlds and being able to say "I love you" were just some of them.
The only thing that I felt was amiss, was that the ending was a bit rushed. I would have enjoyed some additional pages for built up and ending and a more thorough wrap-up of Ginsei's story arc. Seeing Sayaka and Kazuto again at the end would also have been nice. :)
Nevertheless, I enjoyed Kobato a lot and all the wonderful new characters from the Other World.
