I know I shouldn't be surprised that Himawari has a husband, but man...it still surprised me. It makes sense though, seeing as how Watanuki's admiration for her seemed more or less innocent back then and added to the fact that he's now become the owner of the store is even more reason why they couldn't be together.

I thought we already knew Himawari had a husband, or maybe I just assumed she did. I wonder what kind of spirit that girl is and what she's going to do.

Himawari - We knew she was married from the last time they spoke on the phone. Before she married she made her husband promise that she could always visit Watanuki on his birthday.

As always short chapter progression, but I like that this chapter had so many character interactions

they sure have a way to end a chapter....right in the middle of it.

they sort of alluded to the fact she had a husband. for a second i thought she was having a long distance relationship with wata but that wasn't it. in the anime they do say it directly.

kohane is mature looking but she is still just as reserved as shes always been.

The husband detail reinforced; It sort of feels weird though. I am confused about the kohane scene's purpose or implications. Was it just to show how time is still passing and how he is still longing for Yuuko?

I couldn't make out who was saying what for the last few pages -.- Not that it looked like it makes sense.

Watanuki to Spirit: "I'll show you what I am..."
WTF is Watanuki??? Have his powers caused him to become something other than human?
...and I think Kohane and Doumeki are an item.

Himawari is married which is great, now it is about time Kohane found someone also then there will be no human rival for Domeki ^_~

I don't think the new apparition is female though and I don't see the resemblance with Yuuko.

Himawari's marital status wasn't confirmed in the manga. As far as I'm aware of, the only place it was mentioned was in the xxxHolic OVA, which isn't technically canon. But with this chapter it's official. And Watanuki is slowly losing ties to the present, as friends start to age and get married.

I wonder how Himawari was able to get married with the curse around her...

This was where the Rou OVA started, right? (I still need to see that.)

Nothing new here, really, since I'd heard about all this before, but I'm kind of hoping this means the plot's going to start to move again soon.

Older Kohane looked pretty too, and...

this. Hopefully CLAMP'll answer that in the next chapter or two.

And after I told all my friends the OVA was wrong and that Himawari wasn't married, here comes CLAMP and say she is. Damn. I wonder if we'll get any more information about it.

It's really strange to think of Himawari being married. My goodness, our little girl sure has grown up. I'd love to know who (or what) her husband is to be able to live with her despite the curse.

Kohane's gorgeous. That is all. Her hair looks amazing. CLAMP seriously needs to do a color spread of the grown up Kohane-chan. I really wonder what's going on in Watanuki's head in the panels where Himawari was talking about Kohane and later when he told Kohane that he was just thinking how beautiful she's become. Watanuki is so unreadable these days. I feel like he's thinking way more than he's actually saying.

The little "girl" reminds me of Ashura for some reason.

Yup, it was xxxHolic Rou, where the Himawari there was found to be married. The story from that OVA isn't in the manga though.

yeah...well, me too. but that's the price he has to pay to have a chance to meet Yuuko again.

To be honest, I'm not sure myself, since there wasn't anything obvious like 'One Year Later' (like in Battlestar Galactica ^_^). I'm guessing at least two, or maybe three, based on how the people look older. Obviously, the first one where Doumeki is in college and Kohane was in high school. The second, when Kohane was in college. Kohane in this chapter seems to be older than last time as well.

Yeh there has been at least two timeskips.... First one when we came to know that Watanuki is ties down to keep the shop going and Doumeki is a University student.... At least two years after Yuuko disappeared... Just when xXxHOLiC started to be Rou.... then a second one when Doumeki is already a graduate,supports a teacher and Kohane starts studying in Doumeki's Uni.... Hmmmm I guess it's been 5 or 7 years since Yuuko disappeared

Well this chappie was much interesting than the last one! This one had a lot of substance!! First of all... Himawari having a hubby.... Or at least we confirming that she really has a hubby! My goshness! Well what else could we expect from himawari... She was cute and sexy... and she wasn't really in love with Watanuki.. she just saw him as a friend.... a good funney and happy friend... Poor Watanuki... being boxed in a onesided love.... Well at least that matter is solved....

Then Kohane... could she be Watanuki's new love interest? Nope I don't think so... YOu know why? because when it comes to CLAMP, most of the characs are pretty muhc uninterested on love unless they well, might sound stupid, but LOVE another charac and try to show it openly... like CCS and TRC sets of Sakuras and Syaorans.... also Fai and Kurogane... another remarkable characteristic of CLAMP's pairings is that they never change, if a connection is established it never brokens, so then they don't suddenly turn around and find another couple....

Well Dunno what the scene with Kohane really means... Prolly it was just another space for culture promotion... We've gotten some of those recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if its purpose was to only explain the parts of a Kimono... What Kohane said was interesting... "Feels like a robe Yuuko would use..." Indeed kind of... but just as Wata said "You can be at peace, it's I accquiared after I began running the shop"

And that scene... Dude I almost shitted my pants since I thought it was Yuuko! But nope... It wasn't Yuuko but another spirit that had the Yuuko feel... or more or less looks... You know after while she reminds me of Kagami (Kojika) Oh well i guess next chappie will be much more interesting since the mystery about the spirit will be unveiled!

CLAMP are masters of mindfuck.


Himawari should look like Yuuko.

Kohane looks like Yuuko.

The placement of reveal of that new spirit/whatever was made in a way so she looked like Yuuko....
