Umm.... I personally dislike Shounen-ai and I STILL like the stuff CLAMP does (in particullar, Tsubasa and CCS). The whole Shounen-ai hintings don't really stop me from reading it.
I find it hard to understand how people can say "I don't like shounen-ai".
It makes sense if you say "I dont like romance" etc or if you find a particular pairing a bit.. squicky. But, well, I think that any canon pairing ..shouldnt be bad.. if the author/mangaka has told the story well. Fair enough, if you want to say you dislike random BL and shoujo-ai that has no real evidence in the canon then.. yeah. Same with het pairings that have no evidence. But dismissing something that's been well developed right from the start, just because you dont want to see two guys together, is gonna get on alot of people's nerves. It's all personal opinion in the end, though, I guess.
Plus, saying you dont like shounen-ai/shoujo-ai in general is sorta.. discriminative. Same as if you said "I dont like gay couples" in real life. And anyway, one of the main themes CLAMP like to include in their storys is that love is love, no matter what the gender, age etc is. If it doesnt hurt anyone, what's wrong with it?
Saying you like CLAMP but dont like shounen-ai is going against one of the things that the CLAMP label stands for.
Anyway, that's almost totally off-topic.
If we get 126 early, or at least some spoilers, we should only have about a week left to wait now, right?
I like the fact it isnt obvious where the story's gonna go between now and the obvious final showdown sorta business with FWR. We can vaguely guess the stuff about Kuro and Fai and the vampireness, and the Syaoran stuff, but really CLAMP could take this anywhere now.
