You want to have your brain fried? then I suggest you read Tsubasa.
CLAMP is super clever in taking the two main protagonist from their other work: Cardcaptor Sakura, a favourite of mine. So, duh, I was pretty much sucked in like *that*. But, I didn't read Tsubasa straight after it was released in Thailand, I was too busy obsessing over something else at that time but one of my friends was hooked on it (but never got to the end because it became too much of a mindfuck for her)
But hey, a few years later is better than never starting at all!
The plot is good with the twist and turns in it can make anyone suffer a brain freeze and want to abandon ship. I was not one of those people. Though I almost threw in the towel by around chapter 150 or so, I was so damn curious to find out what would happen in the end. Plus, help from the internet was great as well for clearing things up. All the characters back stories were a favourite for me and how they all were linked by Fei Wong (Wang?) Reed. And everyone of them were damaged in their own way. At the beginning of the journey it was more funny and fluffy towards the middle till end it went full blown angst on me after finding out the characters back stories (murdered!parents, dead!twin, clone!parents and so on so fourth...)and holy crap, violent. But hey its a "shonen" manga for boys in their teens.
It is also first and foremost a love story, what guy would go on a journey crossing dimensions to save your memories while kicking ass at the same time? oh, and also, you have no idea who this guy is, but he does it for you any ways? no, not so many guys would do that. Just Syaoran. Which now leads me to say the infamous Thai saying "Only the good men are in novels" or in his case; manga.
