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...

I suspect Yuuko's taking powers is her turning everything back to the way it should be. I half wonder if the powers are a part of real!Sakura.

Yuuko's manipulations tend to result in people either getting what's coming to them anyway, or having a better life.

i agree that it seems like Yuuko is taking powers that aren't meant for the world and setting things back to plan. since she can't interfere in the normal course of things (tracking down the abnormal things) I guess this is the best she can do.

but I sometimes wonder if her motivations are sometimes more selfish then that. As of late she seems to be...not affected by Watanuki, but maybe more interested in him. I wonder at times if Watanuki isn't Clow Reed, or a fragment of his spirit (he does bear a certain resemblence to Eriol, but that might just be CLAMP's style making them seem related) because there are times I swear she has a haunted look in her eyes when he says things.

I tend to think that the Yuuko we see is the Yuuko she wants Watanuki to see, but that that's starting to break down.

My personal theory (well, one of them) is that Watanuki is Yuuko and Clow Reed's son, especially after ch 192 of Tsubasa.

Clow is a sly dog I give him that much. He not only managed to influence the lives of everyone in CCS, but now also xxxHolic and TRC. I half expect to find out he's involved with the Dragons of Heaven and Earth in X, or was related to Subaru in Tokyo Babylon...I don't put anything past CLAMP nowadays..

I only hope that some of the characters have an ending they can be happy, or at least content, with. CLAMP books go either way after all.
