XXXHOLiC Manga Discussion (Spoilers may be present!)

[xxxholic]

I always thought Yuuko is the main character because she's always in the covers. But the story definitely revolves around Watanuki.

But i would say they are both main characters with Doumeki the supporting character.

[Sailor Yue-chan]

well the story is about watanuki, but i guess yuuko is the leading actress?

i take it theres no spoilers yet?

I think there is no chapter scheduled for the next two weeks at least.

[nefadol]

No, there's one this week.  There won't be a new one for three weeks after chapter 120, as there's going to be a two week break. T_T

09/25 - Young Magazine #43 - Chapter 120 - Last chapter of tank 10.
10/02 - Young Magazine #44 - No XXXHOLiC scheduled.
10/07 - Young Magazine #45 - No XXXHOLiC scheduled.

This is normal whenever a new tankoubon is released, but it's annoying that it's happening right when things are getting good.

[Renaya]

why would they stopped the released on the magazine if they want to release the tankoubun one?...so..2 weeks, cliff-hanger huh, well, at least I can still be entertained with TRC :p

[nefadol]

I have no idea, it's just what they do with xxxHolic.  Could have something to do with the magazine it's run in, which is different from Tsubasa.

Volume 10 of xxxholic will be on sale November 17th.  Ooh~ 

Chapter 120? It's getting positive feedback so it should be good but I can't understand what the 'bird' stuff is all about.

bird? does that mean its not doumeki-watanuki centric? :-(

[Misfier]

The 'bird' seems more like symbolism than anything else.

He seems to have smiled gently at Doumeki but that's all I got. The board type thingy is over here. -> http://www.tsubasa.to/chronicle/saloon_bbs/comic/bbs.cgi?tree&thread=1151

[Renaya]

sorry guys, but seriously, I don't understand what you're talking about ><  ..??....what's this"bird" stuff has anything to do with ch 120?

[Misfier]

Ah wait I get it.

The bird came from an egg (duh!)that was payment for the water drawn.

an egg..? is that what Sakura actually looking for, well at end of chapter 130 , she found some kind of flower-shape-something in the middle of a some 'lake' , but i dunno what's actually it is, since we lost the last page-_-.

so if that's true, then is this egg for watanuki ? ahaha, he will have another little pet other than the pipe fire fox (is that right?) ^^

[Sandra-chan]

Yeah, it's a pity that one page was missing.. I hope better scanlations comes soon! Sakura was looking for an egg? Why would Yuuko want that...

[Misfier]

Okay I'm gonna take a shot at it so here goes.

Watanuki has been asleep for 4 days. Something about Himawari. Yuuko gives him an egg? that was compensation for the water. He has a dream, seems kinda like a prophetic one. I don't get his next one "When you look at the expectation hand where the egg was riding the chick of one feather was there.". Does that mean what I think it means? Does he have one of Sakura's feathers?! O_O Something about Doumeki here and "spare time meeting" which means I guess they confronted eachother. Last here is where Watanuki smiles gently. At whom? I have no idea.

[lynalar]

Ok...I'm getting a little lost here.  Are we now talking about spoilers for chapter 120? We went from talking who the main character is and  when chapters are coming out, then to birds and eggs...and nothing to explain the jump.

  I am picking up what people are talking about concerning the TRC crossover stuff, because I keep up on that manga (as I'm sure most everybody else here is).

  So..the bird and egg thing are spoilers for chapter 120 of XXXholic?

[Misfier]

XD

Yes

I fail

...badly...

[xxxholic]

I'm happy to hear that Watanuki and Doumeki will talk this chapter, hopefully alone.

But i hope Yuuko treats Doumeki his wounds because he looked painful! Of course, not with magic but with medicines and stuff.

[lynalar]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe all the blood on Doumeki was Watanuki's and not his own.

[falka]

I haven't yet found the whole chapter but you can find some images here: http://ikesanfromfrneore.blog64.fc2.com/blog-entry-44.html

Sadly it turns out there will be no WatanukixDoumeki heart to heart in this chapter. Watanuki wakes up after 6 days and talks with Yuuko about Himawar (MEH!). Then she gives him the payment for the water - the egg (it most probably was indeed the item Sakura searched for). If I understand it right, the bird that hatched from the egg has the same abilities as Doumeki - it can nullify the effect of Himawari's curse()
