THE DESTINED DAY HAS FINALLY COME. /clamp impression

That is, TRC's ending September 30th (I'm... not sure how they're going to wrap it up in two more chapters but I guess we'll find out) so if you've been waiting to make sure it would actually be completed for the end before catching up, if you start now you'll probably be done at just around the right time. XD

But I'm really here to talk about xxxHOLIC.


I. Can I just get the squealing out of the way first? Okay.

It's - it's what everyone predicted in fic as far back as, like, 2005. Yuuko disappears, Watanuki is determined to stay with the shop, FLASH FORWARD FOUR YEARS TO WHERE HE AND DOUMEKI ARE SHACKING UP IN THE SHOP?? Okay okay perhaps Doumeki does not live there, but he's at the very least a frequent visitor who goes shopping for Watanuki. XD Watanuki slinks languidly around in kimono, pipe in hand; Doumeki is wearing a suit and majoring in folklore at university, presumably looking for an answer to Watanuki's predicament. Oh, glee. Oh, rapture.

Okay, just had to - to let that out. The raws aren't online yet - just photos of a couple pages - so who knows what they're actually doing in the future, but apparently the Young Magazine table of contents lists the chapter as "xxxHOLiC・籠" (xxxHOLIC - Cage) which seems like it might indicate a new arc/subseries, like they did with Rayearth and CCS? I... do not know how to feel about this. I wouldn't say no to more 'Holic, exactly, and if TRC's wrapping up it should go more quickly but just how long would they intend a second series or arc to run? :o

....cage. aw, watanuki. D:

i can get how manning the shop = cage for watanuki but mostly i am pleased by how apparently doumeki has access to the shop and iirc doesn't this only happen when people need something from it?! also i fully expect gratuitous panels of watanuki lounging around in beautifully tailored clothing-- COUGH IT UP, CLAMP

/insane tinhatter with seriously messed up priorities

sajdkl;asds I KNOW, I KNOW. it's - it's not over yet and clamp could very well pull out a painful sacrificial ending as is their wont but. For now, I am happy. Very happy. there had better be fic for this like crazy. ♥_♥

the scan of watanuki's first appearance in the chapter was. quite aesthetically pleasing. *_* (they - they look all GROWN UP now.)

i know :< i keep expecting the other shoe to drop. maybe the sucker punch is going to be himawari?

(they - they look all GROWN UP now.)

(and significantly pointier lololol oh clamp :'D)

the hysterical thing is i had a fic planned out along those lines (like 487904701 other holic writers, i'm betting) and i was reluctant to write since i hadn't read anything after the kohane arc and now i'm like *_______* AHHHH SOMETIMES WHEN CLAMP IS GOOD TO YOU, THEY'RE VERY GOOD

Is Holic over, then? Or nearing the end? Or close to??? I haven't read it in over a year, mostly 'cuz I started getting terribly worried about where it was going (usually I know better, usually I just don't fan on CLAMP, but Watanuki & Doumeki snuck up on me when I wasn't looking...) But if it's nearing the end and not horribly Tokyo-Bablyon-esque tragic...

We are not sure what is happening with Holic! Assuming you didn't read the spoilery bits the newest chapter just appeared in Young Magazine under the title "xxxHOLIC・籠" so no one is sure if this is, like, a new arc or what. ...part of the ambiguity on that point is for spoilery reasons so, er, just take my word for it. XD

Said newest chapter is, uh, extremely pleasing though. >_>

Maybe they will do a sequel to TRC to finish it?

AHH I WANT TO SEE WATANUKI IN KIMONO~

GAH I NEED TO CATCH UP WITH XXXHOLIC AND TSUBASA D: I just still remember how awesome Tsubasa was with its hilarity and evoke-tears-ness and now it's mostly just D: D: D: D: D: D: all the way through. With the usual *___* that comes with clamp, of course. XD
