Well, we all know about Tsubasa, but who knows about the counterpart of TRC?

xxxHOLiC is one of my favorite series by CLAMP. ;) I think it's cute and funny.

In the United States, four with Book Five coming out this month. Japan is four books ahead...roughly a year ahead of its English counterpart :)

I think its slower since TRC probably would get more sales. I dunno. I think CLAMP was juggling between the two, might have been putting TRC ahead of it ^__^

I like what Watunuki says about Yuuko...

' Once your in her clutches, there is no escape!!'

I also like it when she has the visitor in #1...

Watunuki: Ackk!!! She's in her clutches!
Moru and Maru: In her clutches! In her clutches!
Visitor: Eh?
Yuuko: I CAN HEAR YOU, you know!
Watunuki: *disappears*

I was wondering about this in XXXholic volume 5...was Yuuko trying to find Fei Wong with the butterfly while Watanuki was gone?

I'm finding it better than Tsubasa. Much faster paced and there's so much going on! :hello2:

***I was wondering about this in XXXholic volume 5...was Yuuko trying to find Fei Wong with the butterfly while Watanuki was gone?***

That's what I believe.
It's sometimes hard to match up times between XxxHolic and Tsubasa, but I believe that was when Yuuko found exactly where Fei Wong was and that may be
when Mokona transported them suddenly in a later chapter.

She then says in Tsubasa that she can no longer control where they go, but neither can Fei Wong Reed.

And Watanuki is being transformed.
Transformed into someone powerful that I think will have a lot to do with the end of Tsubasa.

I love xxxHolic, its so symbolic, and you actually have to think to understand it at times, not to mention the pace is so much faster than TRC. Not only that, I love Yuuko, she is maybe one of my favourite characters of all time made by CLAMP XD

I totally agree!
I remember reading the first one and thinking Yuuko was so cool and Watanuki so funny.
From the first book, the first page, you are really hooked into this story.

Me too.
I wonder, do you think that Yuuko was in love with Clow?
