Finally got to read a translation for last chapter of xxxHOLIC

I'm not particulary shocked about the ending, such ending was expected. But I can't help but feel sad for Watanuki.
-SPOILERS AHEAD (highlight to read)-

It is said that 100+ years passed since he inherited the store, and the great-grandson of Doumeki Shizuka is shown. Apperently the Doumekis always stook with him, so he wasn't truly alone, but I can't help but feel as if after Shizuka died Watanuki was really alone. Because the other Doumekis don't share the same bounds with Watanuki. And even Kohane and Himawari came to pass, since they wouldn't really live another 100 years would they? 

The ending apart from this was kind of...neutral. I mean, he got to see Yuuko in a dream, but she only gave him an enigmatic message that I understood as it being time for Watanuki to let go and be free, though that's not really what he wants, and even Doumeki III (Lol yeah. whatever) understands he musn't use the egg as long as Watanuki doesn't accept that Yuuko's gone forever, or something of the sort.

I'd really like it if they started another story with Watanuki and such, but they wouldn't be able to connect to Tsubasa Chronicle right? I mean, 100 YEARS passed, in the meanwhile, I'm sure that Sayoran and the others died as well - even if that's even more sad to admit.
-SPOILER END-

The rumors of it just being done "for now" do cheer me up, but it's still unbearably sad that another CLAMP manga has come to a no-closure ending.
I also read that it is possible that Kobato will come to an end soon? Though I haven't read it yet, I really hope that's a rumor that hasn't any foundation. Unless that would mean they'd finish other mangas that are paused so far. Because I can't see CLAMP just focusing on one single project, seing as even handling two long mangas such as xxxHOLIC and TRC they found time to do Kobato and come up with insane plot twists for the first two.
MAAAAAAAAN, this pisses me off!! I'm out!

CLAMP-[o]taku (I realized I post too much about them)

I'm desperately searching for the last chapter of xxxHOLIC, though I know I'll just cry when I read it!

Lately my liking for CLAMP returned, and I really just feel like I should marattone every manga and anime from them. Even though I just ranted about that yesterday too ^^;

Either way, on my search I found this comment that said something about how xxxHOLIC is more than a manga, but it's culture and knowledge, and you know, it really is. I'm the type to just read a manga because I like the story and the characters and I never really think about what the plot might bring into the person I already am. With holic I basically learnt almost everything I know about japanese folklore, and I learnt that "In this world, there's no such thing as coincidences, all there is is hitsuzen.", so to say that I always had the kind of belief that things happen because they are meant to happen, but that's a quote that really echoes through one's mind (and I can'te help but hear Yuuko's voice actor everytime I try to write or say that). Aaa~ah, now I really want to re-watch xxxHOLIC, it has such a mysterious feeling to it (even if perfect-bride-wife-Watanuki Kimihiro is such a klutz and overall comical character in the begining - meaning throughout the whole anime, not including the last ova: Rou).

Watanuki is probably the character that most grew through the whole Tsubasa/xxxHOLIC story, and you can really accompany his growth without even noticing at first. All I know is that I was really sad when the Rou arc came about, he seemed like a totally diferent character, though at this point you can pick up some comedy bits here and there. Not to mention that it broke my heart when he cried over Yuuko. I don't really relate much to him as a person, because bluntly, he's everything I'm not - he's a skilled wife person, while I'm just lazy - but it's definitly one of those characters I won't forget that easily.

(And I'm MAJORLY sad he didn't end up with Himawari as he had a crush on her, even though I think Kohane suits him best. It broke my heart to know that Himawari got married and her husband loves Watanuki's food, nandasorewa)

And now jumping into CLAMP's new manga - Gate 7! I just read the new chapter earlier today, and Chikahito is the new Watanuki! Except he isn't a perfect wife. The way he snaps really makes me think of the earlier xxxHOLIC chapters/episodes in which Watanuki would snap at Doumeki for every little thing. The plot for Gate 7 is as expected from CLAMP, and I can't wait to have more. Hana is an adorable little girl and I can tell there's gonna be some major bonding between her and Watanuki-2 Chikahito. Also: WHY IS THERE ANOTHER SAKURA CHARACTER IN THIS? Even though this time is a guy, isn't that a weird name for such a manly guy? And I like Tachibana too, he reminds me of Kanda from D.Gray-Man (though I did hate Kanda at the begining ^^;; ) . I read some interesting theories about Chikahito, and I really can see it happening in the future, him having some sort of ability that is.

There's not much too add still, but I do like the art, it's as fitting as ever.

Can I have a new manga with Fye now?

(I shall post about Kimi ni Todoke soon as I'm 3 eps away from season 2 <3)

Horibtsuba Gakuen Drama CD's

They're so funny! CLAMP are such genious making all the xxxHOLIC and Tsubasa Chronicle characters enroll into it. And I specially love how they pulled Fye's twin into it too (: (that was the part that made me most happy after all the crying I did when I read about Fye's past e_e) . I'm sad about one thing though: there's only 4 episodes? Or at least that's what I found translated anyway.

As far as I'm concerned however - PLEASE MAKE A MANGA/ANIME OUT OF IT. I'm missing all these characters now that both xxxHOLIC and TRC are over, as they're such good characters too! (note to self - read the rest of Holic). But, this IS CLAMP, so I'm sure Sayoran and Watanuki and friends will be making appearences somewhere, sometime. But a manga dedicated to them again would be for the best (of the fans).

Aaaaah, I need to re-read or re-watch Tsubasa, I don't know, all I know is that my Fye obcession is hitting me like a brick.

And to conclude it: Horitsuba Gakuen - Watanuki-abuse and Kurogane-abuse included.
So to say that Yuuko + Fye are the best combo ever :D
(I'm so biased GOOD GRIEF.)
