xxxHOLiC Chapter 200 Discussion

Yay, holic now have 200 chapters!!



Well... Watanuki finally have the crimson pearl, but i have questions about that mystery woman

Gorgeous double spread.



lol at first I thought she was crying blood. Which I guess is still possible. It is a crimson pearl.

I feel like there's some fable/myth where there's a girl who cries diamonds or some jewel...? anyone know what I'm talking about..? lol

EDIT: realized it (or at least one case). After Sailor Moon turns into Princess Serenity, she cries and her tear crystallizes into the Silver Crystal (Maboroshi no Ginzuishou). lol



But yeah deep last page.

And with the time skip, Himawari could look like Yuuko by now. It's quite a high possibility. And if so, I hope Watanuki realizes this.

I'm intrigued as to what will happen next...and that double page spread was awesome

That last frame certainly sends a deep message...Agreed, hope this isn't foreshadowing, hasn't Watanuki suffered enough :'(



Loved this chapter, the feel, storytelling and answering of a number of questions raised during this crimson pearl arc. Still wondering why Spider Lady had to make the request and the significance of the pearl...

I can see why she says it, since Watanuki is also very sad because he can't be with the people he loves, especiallly with Himawari and Yuuko.

I'm wondering if he'll take the girl with him or send her somewhere else?

or grant her a wish?  xD

Normal, kind Kimihiro would take the girl with him. The now Yuuko-fied Kimihiro... well, let's see what happens.
