BEWARE THE ASS-CHIN!

And hell if I don't suddenly need an icon depicting that.

I'm pretty sure I inhaled something when I saw that page. And is it just me or does Fei-Wong look like he's in some freaky-assed cocoon thing? THE ASS-CHIN IS MULITPLYING!

And Kuro-pon is always hot. Even if he was in a tutu and spinning in a circle, leaping about and I really really fear for my mind.

YES, BEWARE HIS ASSCHIN-Y HORRIBLENESS.

It would be an icon of epicness.

Nooo, it's not just you! Fei Wong Reed obviously plans on becoming a butterfly. A very ugly, asschin one. And he he plans to reproduce at an fast rate and RULE THE WORLD WITH HIS BABIES. D:

Kuro-woo-woo is damn fine. T-that's an image that won't be disappearing too soon. But I do agree with you, he'd be hot even then. Kurogane's hotness makes even the most ugliest of outfits good-looking. (I want a Kurogane desktop image now).

so the thing is, i am so behind with tsubasa i am not kidding. so, so behind. i mean, what, seriously.

but ~~spoilers never stopped me~~ THAT JUST CRACKED ME UP BECAUSE AHAHAHAHHA, ASSCHIN IS BACK WITH HIS ASSCHIN-Y ... CHIN. HE SHALL REIGN SUPREME WITH THE HELP OF HIS ASSCHIN-Y CHIN IF NO ONE STOPS HIM. GHEI FORCE, WHERE ART THOU?

(and for the record, first i read "all i could look at was his enormous ass". and that's it. and i was all, AHAHAH ARE YOU KIDDING ME THEY DID A SHOT OF HIS ASS-- OH NO WAIT, eheh. >>)

Oh, are you? You must catch up!! The flashbacks are over, so Kurogane and Fai are being drawn again, and I think the Final Fight (capitalizations intended) is here.

~~Glad to read that, they never stop me either~~ YES, HE HAS RETURNED IN FULL ASSCHIN FORCE. HE'S ALL SMUG AND LAUGHING IN A "HURR HURR" TYPE WAY. AND THE GHEI FORCE IS THERE, SINCE KUROGANE AND FAI ARE PLANNING TO FIGHT. XD

(HAHAHAHA oh god, oh nononononononono. The idea of his ass being drawn in the manga...I'm feeling sick. But at the same time amused, because all my twisted mind can think is, "His ass probably looks like his chin.")

ahaha, seriously, i'm like ... on the 17th volume. but goddamn it, they're not in the shops and i'd rather not read it on the computer, argh.

HE LOOKS AT TEH GHEI FORCE AND GOES "OM NOM NOM" ONLY WHEN HE DOES IT IT COMES OUT ALL GARBLED AND BARELY RECOGNISABLE, TO WHICH TEH GHEI FORCE IS JUST "WE SHALL KICK UR ASSSSS". AND YEAH, KUROFAI'S LIKE, I DUNNO. GAYEST OF THE GAY. xD;

(... that is surprisingly true. I MEAN. C'MON. IF HIS CHIN'S AN ASSCHIN, WHO'S TO SAY HIS ASS AIN'T A CHINASS? ... oh god.)

I really don't like how they take forever to releast the volumes in foreign countries. We're only up to 18 in TRC here. It really sucks that you don't like to read it on the computer, since that's really the only way to stay current.

TEH GHEI FORCE STANDS BEFORE HIM IN ALL THEIR GLORY, AND HE CAN DO NAUGHT BUT STAND AND STARE. WHICH IS ONLY RIGHT. HAHAHA, THAT'S SO TRUE. THE ULTIMATE GHEI, AS ONE MIGHT SAY.

(Oh god. The horror...I hope his chin doesn't function as his ass does. THE HORROR, WHUT. WHY THESE THOUGHTS? D: Hahaha chinass. It probably is! And when people kick his ass, he complains his chin hurts. And people point and laugh.)

yeah, me neither. D: but, well, i could read it, but ... i dunno, i just don't want to. i don't even read holic on the computer, or most any of the mangas i've started buying. or then i'm just too lazy. xD;

"IN ALL THEIR GLORY." WHY DO I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT? xDD; BUT YES, EXACTLY LIKE THAT! THAT NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY MAN. AND NOT IN THE GOOD WAY NAUGHTY. AHAH, KUROGANE'S LIKE. OH MAN, HE'S DENSE, IN DENIAL, THE SORT WHO HIDES HIS SUPER!SEKRIT PASSION BY PORTRAYING IT AS ANGER. I HAVE HIM FIGURED OUT, I DO!

(i. you. i just. YOU BROKE ME. BROKE. BROKE. D-E-D. ahaha, function as his ass does. xD;; KILL ME DEAD WHY DONTCHA ~~wish your girlfriend was hot like me~~~ AND HE SINGS IT AND SHAKES HIS ASS. OR CHIN. WHICHEVER! ... OH GOD. w-why does this always happen when we discuss innocent matters? WHYYYYYY!)

Yeah, his ass-chin kinda ruins the tension there. XD

Buuut we get double Syaoran goodness, so it's alright! *___*

(and hot Kurogane-sama, but well, I'm an old-time Syaoran fan... even if this Syaoran isn't the one I originally liked. Man, but did Clamp mess things up for me... counting Watanuki, that's four Syaorans I fell in love with!!! :P)
*is glad Doumeki never met any of the other three* ^^U

Sorry, six Syaorans if we count the "twin" version of Horitsuba Gakuen. But those Syaorans are the same as TRC's Syaoran -sort of-... but wait! there's another Watanuki there, so it would be seven....? @_@
I feel like my brain is going to implode. >_<

So, yeah. Clamp must be having fun at my expense. :P

It did for me! :)

LOL I like the...I guess "real" Syaoran better than the clone. And this series (and xxxHolic) are the only ones I know him in, so I can't say he's a favorite.

(Kurogane is my favorite TRC character. Four...seven. Um. Horitsuba is an AU from TRC and from xxxHolic, so I think it'd be okay to count them as separate: so including Watanuki, I guess it would be seven. I wonder if Clamp has a problem remembering it?)

Nah, don't think so. Remember, they've been juggling docens of characters from old series in this one already, what's a Syaoran more or less for them? :P
And yeah, if you pay attention, Horitsuba's Syaorans are a bit different from TRC. And not only in the not-trying-to-kill-each-other sense, but also in personality... Syaoron has a certain "long-suffering older brother" feeling that is definitely not present in the clone. ^^U
And that Watanuki still has both his blue eyes and still wears glasses... but stills bickers with a passion with Doumeki. It's nice that some things never change. XD
I wonder if Haruka-sexy-san is alive in that universe? *____*

But boy, hadn't they messed with our heads enough with the whole Yuui/Fai thing?

True. I have even more respect for them -- I'd probably have some sort of character chart hanging on my wall.

Doumeki and Watanuki are fated to be together no matter the world, obviously XD Ooo, Haruka-sexy-san. I wish I knew very good Japanese, I'd so write to CLAMP and ask.

YES. I was so surprised! At first I was like, "WTF?" because I didn't understand what they were talking about. I had to re-read the Fai!revelation chapters before I understood. Do you have a favorite world/scene from TRC? And xxHolic?

And don't forget they're working on three simultaneous stories: Tsubasa, xxxholic and Kobato.
Plus X and Gohou Drug, if the rumours are true.

I still don't totally understand the whole Fai/Yuui deal. Some re-reading is in order, most definitely. :P

Favourite scene? uhm... in xxxholic, mittens, mittens!!! It was so adorable when Doumeki got those mittens from Watanuki and was so obviously happy about it... he kept flexing his hands and watching them. And making sure they were knitted especially for him. :3
And the "sorry" bit... when Doumeki tried to see what kind of face Watanuki was making. That was so cute! XD
The lady of the spiders bit, when Doumeki forcibly uncovered Watanuki's eye (that must have been the only time we saw him get really angry)... and the whole "sharing the load" bit.
Then, with the whole spirit-woman-thingy, when Watanuki almost disappeared, the part where Doumeki walks past Watanuki and then he calls him back... the look of surprise, and then the smirk, on Douemki's face was priceless. :3
(are you noticing a pattern here? it's mostly the DoumekixWatanuki scenes I loved. XD)
Besides that, it must be the first time we got to see Mugetsu in action.... boy, but was he kickass. Gotta love a pet that can be both cute and fluffy and huge and powerful... and breathe fire. Kitsune fire (which is not regular fire), but still.
In tsubasa... the drinking scene, where Fai and Sakura kept acting like cats, and Syaoran got all flushed and silly, with that manic glint in his eye... XD
Besides that... the "Ou-sama" bit when Touya and Yukito first appeared in an alternate universe. It was so much fun that everybody kept calling him that afterwards. XD
Aaaand... uhm... oh, Ryu's first appearence! Man, but had I missed that boy... he was my favourite character in RG Veda.
It's mostly repeated situations or little winks that I like the most. Like Fai calling Kurogane "the daddy" because he is so overprotective of Sakura and Syaoran. Or Mokona's eternal mission to annoy Kurogane.

Excellent point! I'm really looking forward to more Gohou Drug and Kobato, though of course I want 'Holic and TRC finished first.

HAHA All my favorite scenes are the Doumeki/Watanuki ones too. I recently re-read the manga, and every time I came upon the scenes I'd read it through, then go and do it again.

Ohh, I remember the Touya/Yukito scene. So adorable ♥ I liked it when Kurogane wished for Fai to live, when Fai punched Kurogane, and when Kurogane sacrificed his arm for Fai. Haha, I think there might be a theme for my TRC favorites too.

Ryu? Is the the one that wanted to be like Syaoran in Outo country?

I love protective!Kurogane. ♥ ♥

It's a real pity that Gouhou Drug had to be suspended, because it seems like it would really tie closely with xxxholic... darn it. Why did that magazine had to stop serializing? >_<

Ooooh, yeah. Great scenes, those ones. But to tell you the truth, I really need to re-read tsubasa. I've got most of xxholic practically memorized, but I've slacked off with tsubasa... :P

yeah, Ryu was the boy with the ridiculously big sword who became Syaoran's friend in Outo country.
Him and Kujaku (who, like Yue, seems to have remained exclusively for his original series) were my favourites in RG Veda. If I couldn't get another glimpse of gorgeous Kujaku, at least I could enjoy cute Ryu instead.
Ah, I really liked the bit with Ashura and Yasha, too... Particularly when Ashura began to dance when Sakura played. That was cute. :3 It's a pity Ashura and Yasha couldn't have a happy ending in tsubasa, either, but still, it was great to see them again.

Protective!Kurogane is only bested by indignant!Kurogane (which generally comes immediately afterwards, since Fai and/or Mokona will invariably be around to tease him about it. XD)

The vase in GD turned up in xxxHolic. I wonder if other things will? I dunno T_T There were rumors for awhile that GD had been abandoned.

Do you know when you're going to re-read TRC? I plan on doing it soon. Tsubasa seems like it's a lot longer than 'Holic, though it's really not. Do you know which one was started first?

That's who I thought it was :)
Kujaku? Lol I don't know who that is.
Ashura and Yasha aren't original to TRC? I'm guessing they showed up in RG Veda, too? Their story was so sad. :( I don't clearly remember their end in TRC...wasn't it sort of bittersweet? Like, they were dead but could be together, or something?

I love it when Mokona and Fai drive Kurogane up the wall. And then he chases Fai with his swords and they can be seen in the background. XD *Giggles*

Methinks many of the things the guys have to collect for their "other jobs" end up in Yuuko's shop. After all, who else would pay to get a man-eating book or invisible fireflies?
Clamp have stated that they are planning to continue it, probably after they finish with xxxholic and tsubasa. And considering they don't start drawing a story until they have the whole plot written down, it's highly likely that's what they will do. It would seem a waste to have ten volumes' worth of plot that is never going to see the light of day. They had to stop serializing it because the magazine where they published it broke, or something, and went off the market. But something similar happened to Clover after they had done two volumes, and they published the remaining ones by themselves. They certainly are rich enough to do that.

Eh, I think Tsubasa was started first, and xxholic not long afterwards. It was almost simultaneous. But xxxholic has had shorter chapters all along, so there are fewer volumes of published material. That's why Tsubasa is a bit longer.

And you won't know him unless you read RG Veda. He was an awesome guy... yet the level of his suffering is not unlike that of Fai... so you can imagine how much Clamp made us Kujaku lovers suffer with his story. ;_;

Actually, Ashura and Yasha are the main characters of RG Veda. And they suffered a heck of a lot more in that manga. Their end in Tsubasa may have been bittersweet, but that doesn't even beign to compare to how much more depressing their ending was in RG Veda... though yes, with a tiny little ray of hope.
But they are still one my favourite couples of all times. >_<

He chases Fai with his swords? seems to me you're too used to talking about Zoro. Kurogane only has one sword... albeit a very long one. XD

Does it poop out things, too?

Kurogane is so cool. XD

Let us hope not D:

XD Isn't he? *Squee* I stared at the picture of him for a few minutes and became very jealous of Fai, lol. =P
