upon finally locating her is overcome by his possessiveness of her and jealousy of the nameless she left him for. He shoots and kills her and all of the orphans, then burns the orphanage down to the ground. Only Kotobuki, who was out getting Ann medicine, survived. Hil then took Ann's body back with him, and connected her to machines which kept her alive as an 'empty shell'. At the very end, Hil regrets his actions and unplugs her from the machines, and she dies smiling. Release Written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya, the chapters of Tsubasa: Those with Wings appeared as a serial in the manga magazine Hana to Yume from the October 1995 issue to the May 1998 issue. Tokyopop licensed the series for an English-language translation in North America. Reception The series ranked eighth in About.com's reader poll, tied with Oh My Goddess! Colors, for the 2009 "Best Classic or Reissued Manga". The first volume of the Tokyopop edition debuted at #10 on the New York Times best seller list for manga the week it debuted. Deb Aoki of About.com placed Tsubasa: Those with Wings on her lists of "Top 10 New Manga from Anime Expo 2008" and "20 Most Anticipated New Manga of 2009". Johanna Draper Carlsen, a reviewer for Publishers Weekly, wrote that the series had some appeal as entertainment for a rainy day; she thought that the Takaya's art was dated as her early work, yet conveyed the story. Publishers Weekly negatively reviewed the first volume, finding the art, characterization, and storyline lacking in comparison to Takaya's later work in Fruits Basket. According to the reviewer, Tsubasa: Those with Wings "lacks the originality and emotional impact of Fruits Basket." The reviewer, however, complimented Tokyopop's decision to translate the bunkoban volumes, instead of the six original volumes.
