Well, the story is mostly for little kids, but it has its own charm. It's great to read when you're feeling down and need a sugar overdose to raise your spirits. It's definitely sweet enough to do that... Plus Touya, Fujitaka and Yue are definite eye candy. *_*
And lil Shaoran is cute, even with his bushy eyebrows and mean disposition. XD
I started with the anime and then read the manga... the anime is a bit easier to watch, as the cuteness is a bit more spread out, but the plot is better in the manga.

I had already read most of their works when TRC began serializing it, so I was able tos peculate about the direction it would take off on since the beginning. And I can definitely remember hoping fervently that it wouldn't end up dark and bloody halfway through, since I had such nice memories of the characters from CCS. But it was a lost cause. By the time Seishiro made his first appearence, I knew it wasn't going to be a harmless, cute story. -_-

Translated, as I still can't read Japanese... I only know four kanji: Wild, Fire, Dog, and Fox. (oh, and the kanji for Zoro's name, but that's hardly useful XD) So unless the big revelation in chapter 201 is that Watanuki somehow loves wild dogs on fire, RAWS won't do much for me. XD

It's not really that he has a hurtful past, but rather than he has a very good reason to be a bloodthirsty maniac. Saying anymore would spoil the story if ever you were feeling masochistic enough to read it, so I won't. Just one thing: Ashura was involved in one of the few yaoi couples in canon CLAMP have ever admitted to, and it's actually implied that he had a male lover despite being married. We even see them leaving the bed once... ^^U
So unfortunately, that Ashura/Fai thing is not so far-fetched as we would like it to be... >_<

Methinks the only reason Kurogane hasn't strangled him in his sleep is that Fai sleeps on his front (knowledge courtesy of Mokona in one of the bonus chapters), so every time Kurogane set off to do some sleeping-Fai-strangling he got distracted by the sight of his perfectly nice tushy... XD

*blinks* who, me? *innocent air*
