xxxHOLiC Chapter 202 Discussion

hehe i find it interesting how he orders the girl around. i guess he really is the shop owner. chatting up with the spider with no hard feelings is rather nice too. i am glad i picked this up.

Well... thye kinda repeated information we already know, although I don't remember if it was explained here on ir TCR. And I love the "that's enough for seduction" joke XD seems to be true for Jorougumo, though.

nice after small arc chapter

\

good thing they explained the Shamisen moving on its own, i was guessing for a bit till they said it. nice of it to teach Watanuki



also ya i can't wait for his Birthday chapter where Himawari comes. i wonder if they will release it in 3 weeks where it lands closes to April 1st in real. that would be near.

oh man I only realized it was Doumeki(Haruka) when he mentioned Shizuka. They are way too similar lol. Although the smiling should have tipped me off.

And there was some more awesome shounen-ai teasing lol. "For seduction"? lol.



But I guess we're all waiting for Watanuki's birthday and Himawari's appearance. This will either confirm or destroy a number of theories... I can't wait!

Hey Watanuki, Yuuko's great and all but remember that person who is still around, who's always there for you? What's his name again? Oh right, Doumeki Shizuka. I liked Yuuko a lot and I was sad when she was gone, but I'm hoping she won't come back and Watanuki will someday learn to overcome his obsession with meeting her again.

Sigh* Well then, I do hope it'll be about his birthday next chapter because I am curious about what Himawari's like now.I'm the opposite, I really miss Yuuko. I want Himawari to just disappear if anything.

A  cat teaching someone how to play an instrument? And Walking alone when she's already dead and has no means of walking? Shudders...



Wonder why Watanuki went dream mode so suddenly... I don't get it... He was having a nice chat with the Jorougumo, yet he went out and booted up the Dream-mode.... Was it because Jorougumo ate him? heeee... whatever... what's great is that Watanuki is getting used to all this stuff and his power is steadily growing, pushing himself nearer to recover Yuuko.. to grant his own wish... or at leas see her again... But in the end... I dunno If I don't wanna see her anymore or I wanna immediately see her again.... It's hard to tell... I'd love to see her again 'cause she's the best charac of the manga... and from TRC too! But at the same time I dun wanna see her again.. since she left without saying goodbye and simply left all her things to Watanuki... all her problems included....



While Himawari...  wanna see her.. I wanna see how lovely she has grown in this last... what? 4 years? If Kohane is cute and beautiful as Hell,  then Himawari has to be cute and sexy as Hell hahahaha



Yes, Shizuka has been there for Kimihiro ALL the TIME! but... I personally wanna see him decide over that fact on his own... see him realize who's the best for him... BTW I really confused Haruka with Shizuka this time... Dman why they're so alike!?

Just finished TRC recently and my mind doesn't hurt as much thanks to this chapter. I have been recent for a while sopPersonally it helped me reorganize my thoughts. On the other hand, this just seems like a filler chapter for anyone else.

Darn it Watanuki, you're so useless, not able to play anime songs on the Shamisen

^This =)

There was something about the chapter I really loved. I liked how the shamisen moved around on its own like a little cat but I wish we could hear the song Watanuki played on it.

Good chapter, yet I still miss Yuko terribly.

Darn it Watanuki, you're so useless, not able to play anime songs on the Shamisen

Nice.  Though I'm sure most of us are eagerly anticipating his birthday (and Himawari-chan's appearance).   :)

----------------------------------------

                         
The spider woman is still there and requested Watanuki to play shamisen for her.  Watanuki said he's going to get it since it's in the closet, but somehow the spider woman got it for him.  



Later, Haruka's talking to Watanuki, who's still playing and said that the spider woman just gone home.  The spider woman brought sake for black Mokona and fox while Watanuki prepared the food.



The spider woman always told him to change the songs even though he can only play two songs, and that he doesn't need glasses since he's not "seeing" through left eye.  Watanuki said he forgot because he's afraid that he would forget the experience he experienced with Yuuko, like people forgot Yuuko on the day she disappeared.  Also, he understood what Ame Warashi said his existence is impossible.  He doesn't know if his memories about his parents are true.  He just wants to have something that he can remember Yuuko.  Even if he does, that can function as the remembrance of Yuuko.



Haruka disagrees about Watanuki saying not suitable, even for smoking.  To make change to little from the people around him and gradually growing unstable self, closing in the shop and stopping the time.  The power can be grow and trying his best to help out people like Himawari or Kohane.   Also to make Yuuko's wish come true... that's why Watanuki chose to stay.  



Haruka wants to hear how Watanuki mastered "making people's wish come true" and "smoking".  He doesn't mind if he can only play two songs.  Watanuki plays and Haruka teaches him the lyric.
