Code:Breaker CH 4-5: PUPPY!!! I’m sorry, what? I got distracted. I have a feeling that Sakura’s school thinking she’s chasing after Ogami is going to grow a little old before long. Though, given that Ogami has now added cop killing to his habits, that might not last long anyway. I wish Sakura hadn’t been pulled away before she could even think of fighting, though. (And was starting to wonder if Kamijyo forgot about her after we saw her get grabbed.) I wonder if this is going to make them end up on the run.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle CH 193: *phew* A slight break from the overwhelming cute. I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO NOTICE WHAT WAS GOING ON! The “let’s hold hands and run together!” and Sakura chewing Touya out for messing with Syaoran kind broke my brain. Uhm...mostly setup for the OMG EPIC ANGST that’s coming, what with real!chibi!Sakura kinda doing the same things clone!Sakura did in the first volume.

xxxHolic CH 159-161: It looks like Kohane’s arc is finally over. Which is not to say that I don’t adore Kohane, but there’s been nothing but her arc going on for a while now. It was nice to finally get an explanation for why Doumeki puts up with Watanuki, though, and Watanuki somehow seems happier now that he knows the world he lives in is a dream. Now if Clamp would just remember a character named Himawari...

But on the other hand, why would Sakura have had any reason to fight? Ogami's intention was to kill all the gang members; she didn't want anything to do with that.

My theory about what's going to happen is that Ogami kills all the cops but gets hurt in the process, so Sakura, way against her better judgement, grabs him with her freakish strength and runs. Angst and characterization ensue. Because in Kamijyo, you can't have characterization without angst.

They only got away with the scene where Doumeki explains why he sticks around with Watanuki because they're CLAMP. No one else could have pulled that off.

Sakura should have gotten to fight because they would have been all for killing her too just because she was with him!

She and Yuya should chat!

Clamp only gets away with a lot of things because they're Clamp...

But what were the chances of Ogami letting them get anywhere near her? It's too early for ROARRR YOU NO TOUCH MY WOMAN. So--what were the chances of them getting past Ogami?

"Oh, yours slaughters people without a thought, too?" "Yeah, how crazy!" "And is kind of hot when he's doing it?" "No! Killing is wrong! And bad!" "But... it's kind of hot." "Bad!" Am I the only one who notices Yuya getting desensitized to the slaughter as the manga goes on?

Chobits. CLAMP School Detectives. Not finishing X/1999. The gratuitous eye porn that would make us roll our eyes if it wasn't CLAMP doing it.

I'm not sure Yuya's getting desensitized so much as she's been kept really busy keeping them from killing each other, getting cursed and being in a semi-regular state of half-dead, and having Kyo pass out in her lap and such.

Actually, Chobitsd(specifically, the ending) is the main reason I didn't read Clamp for a few years.
