Holy crap, is that a cement wall Kuro smashed? ^^; I hadn't even thought of that. Jeez... CLAMP are the biggest fangirls of us all. Anywho, thanks for the translation/scanlation. ^_^
And honestly, I think it's a little harsh to say things like, 'this is so fanfic-y.' While there are a huge amount of horrific fanfics, there are a lot of really good fanfics out there; not to mention that there are only so many logical paths a story can take. Whatever happens canonically, chances are somebody wrote a fanfic like that. Then again, perhaps I am just making excuses. ^^;
Heehee, shouldn't be too much longer until Sei-chan shows up again. At least I hope so. After all, it's taken what, seven volumes for Subaru to show up since he was first mentioned? Also, I hope the next splash page is of Subaru, possibly SeiSu together, because that would be beautiful beyond words. Plus, there were no good big pics of Subaru in this chapitre- the only one had Sakura in it with him.
Subaru looks a lot like Akira/20 Mensou in that outfit. Hokuto must be alive- there's really no way Subaru picked that outfit out himself, lol. Plus, I still think it would/is really lame to have Kamui as Subaru's twin.
Syaonran, who's Syaoran? XD
