xxxHOLiC Manga Chapter 184
SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:
Doumeki talks with Mokona about the special egg he carries while Watanuki heads to the treasure room and holds Yuuko-san’s kimono. As Doumeki considers what he must do, he sees two Syaoran’s with the eye he shares with Watanuki. Seeing this, Doumeki hurries off to find Watanuki while Mokona ponders the choices everyone has made and how this will surely lead to everyone’s happiness. Meanwhile, Doumeki finds Watnuki in the treasure room as Watanuki has found his glasses with Yuuko-san’s clothing.
Thoughts/Review: CLAMP has combined strange, intrigue, confusion, and even a bit of nothing in this chapter. It still feels like it is marking time, then tagging along, while Tsubasa presses forward with the actual story. This egg thing feels like it might get stretched out for quite a few chapters but we’ll see.
So, I wonder why Doumeki saw two Syaoran’s. Watanuki must have seen them as well. Not having read the current Tsubasa chapter, I don’t know what the smeg is currently happening over there.
Why did Watanuki find his glasses where he did? I can’t remember when Watanuki dropped or lost his glasses but I suppose it could have been in the dream world.
Well, naught to do but press forward with this manga until the very end.
Tsubasa is even more freakin’ confusing. I mean whatever is going on in xxxHolic is TAME compared to the Tsubasa-verse. To me, ever since Tsubasa adapted a darker storyline is also got bogged down with being extremely convoluted. Right now Sakura and Syaron are in Tokyo and somehow they have aged a few years and now have a kid named Syaron who apparently is the “other” Syaron and soon everything will repeat itself and CCS Sakura told Tsubasa Sakura that everything “Will be all right”. I mean, GAH, WTF is going on?!
Tsubasa getting dark initially was very interesting to me, especially when we learned about Kurogane’s past. However, once the twist happened where Syaoran with the group was “evil,” things started going south. It is a mess to be sure.
Small bit, looks like it was one of the Syaorans who hands Watanuki his glasses. from the condition of the hands in those panels.
Ah. I think you are right. Well now, well now. That puts a different light on things.
xxxHOLIC makes perfect sense. Sure, their dragging it out a bit and driving me mad with anticipation but Tsubasa is… Well… It has surpassed confusion levels and moved right onto brain-killing.
He lost the glasses during a dream. I remember that part. I just can’t recall exactly when. >.> Hope the next one will be out soon though.
