that girl looks like Yuuko. I want to know who is she. I don't think the new apparition is female though and I don't see the resemblance with Yuuko.

Yeh there has been at least two timeskips.... First one when we came to know that Watanuki is ties down to keep the shop going and Doumeki is a University student.... At least two years after Yuuko disappeared... Just when xXxHOLiC started to be Rou.... then a second one when Doumeki is already a graduate,supports a teacher and Kohane starts studying in Doumeki's Uni.... Hmmmm I guess it's been 5 or 7 years since Yuuko disappeared



Well this chappie was much interesting than the last one! This one had a lot of substance!! First of all... Himawari having a hubby.... Or at least we confirming that she really has a hubby! My goshness! Well what else could we expect from himawari... She was cute and sexy... and she wasn't really in love with Watanuki.. she just saw him as a friend.... a good funney and happy friend... Poor Watanuki... being boxed in a onesided love.... Well at least that matter is solved....



Then Kohane... could she be Watanuki's new love interest? Nope I don't think so... YOu know why? because when it comes to CLAMP, most of the characs are pretty muhc uninterested on love unless they well, might sound stupid, but LOVE another charac and try to show it openly... like CCS and TRC sets of Sakuras and Syaorans.... also Fai and Kurogane... another remarkable characteristic of CLAMP's pairings is that they never change, if a connection is established it never brokens, so then they don't suddenly turn around and find another couple....



Well Dunno what the scene with Kohane really means... Prolly it was just another space for culture promotion... We've gotten some of those recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if its purpose was to only explain the parts of a Kimono... What Kohane said was interesting... "Feels like a robe Yuuko would use..." Indeed kind of... but just as Wata said "You can be at peace, it's I accquiared after I began running the shop"



And that scene... Dude I almost shitted my pants since I thought it was Yuuko! But nope... It wasn't Yuuko but another spirit that had the Yuuko feel... or more or less looks... You know after while she reminds me of Kagami (Kojika) Oh well i guess next chappie will be much more interesting since the mystery about the spirit will be unveiled!

Actually himiwari did love wata, but obviously shes knows its impossible to be with him so that's why she got married.

This was where the Rou OVA started, right? (I still need to see that.)



Nothing new here, really, since I'd heard about all this before, but I'm kind of hoping this means the plot's going to start to move again soon.



Older Kohane looked pretty too, and...

I wonder how Himawari was able to get married with the curse around her...

this. Hopefully CLAMP'll answer that in the next chapter or two.

Watanuki to Spirit:  "I'll show you what I am..."

WTF is Watanuki???  Have his powers caused him to become something other than human?

...and I think Kohane and Doumeki are an item.

Im RLY dissapointed that Himawari has a husband >.<yeah...well, me too.  but that's the price he has to pay to have a chance to meet Yuuko again.

How many time-skips have there been? and how long were each of them? (manga only)To be honest, I'm not sure myself, since there wasn't anything obvious like 'One Year Later' (like in Battlestar Galactica ^_^).  I'm guessing at least two, or maybe three, based on how the people look older.  Obviously, the first one where Doumeki is in college and Kohane was in high school. The second, when Kohane was in college.  Kohane in this chapter seems to be older than last time as well.

I thought we already knew Himawari had a husband, or maybe I just assumed she did.

lol. i guess only some people knew she was married because it wasn't clearly stated till now.



i hate how the chapters always end at the good parts :(

CLAMP are masters of mindfuck.





Himawari should look like Yuuko.



Kohane looks like Yuuko.



The placement of reveal of that new spirit/whatever was made in a way so she looked like Yuuko....







....



CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
