Re: xxxHolic 159 - 160 Discussion/161 Prediction Thread

Predicts nothing, just feel like to post a question.
Currently there 2 groups that Editing xxxholic that I know of, BWYS and Franky-House.

Why are their releases unsincronized ? I mean, there are no volume chapter list that is actually a available other than BYWS'.

It makes it difficult to archive the releases into volumes (I organized my downloads into volumes, then each file/page is designated with a chapter number and page number).

Is there a place where we can get a volume list, or least equivalency lists of the manga ( Which BWYS' release is the same as Franky-House's ) ?

Re: xxxHolic 161 Discussion/162 Prediction Thread

About the lady who appeared at the end of the chapter, I wonder if she has anything to do with the story plot...I have a feeling that she knows about the existence of Yuuko and the shop.

Mokona had mentioned something about the memories of the body and memories of the heart and it was mentioned in TRC once by Mokona (white) in the anime but did it happen in the manga too? Either I can't remember which chapter was it or there isn't a scene about it...hmm, could there be some sort of connection between these two scenes?

Re: xxxHolic Manga Release Schedule

Probably obvious to everyone now, but there was no chapter 162 in Young 35. All we got was a story about bear hunting gone awry. Supposedly, it got pushed back to next week but we'll have to see won't we?

Re: xxxHolic 162 Discussion/163 Prediction Thread

Hmhm, Haruka made a good point. I hope Watanuki becomes as smart about the spiritual world like Yuuko is. That would finally make a cool guy out of him. But the way Haruka speaks about this gives me the feeling it's already decided to be that way. Still, I wonder what the two are going to talk about or if it's even going to be mentioned at all.

Re: xxxHOLIC spoilers thread

Spoilers for 162, thanks to Ashura-sama.

Spoiler: Chapter 162, from Ashura-sama

Chapter 162

Yuuko on the splash.

A new client visits Yuuko's shop, where only those having a wish are allowed to enter. What in the world is her wish!?

The woman's wish is that she wants to learn cooking. Yuuko promptly accepts. But for she pushes the teaching onto Watanuki.

He'd become acquainted with that when it was Kohane-chan, but anyway, pairing up with an unknown woman... Watanuki hesitates, but no one listens to him.

That evening. Haruka once again appears before Watanuki. As expected Watanuki seems to have gotten used to it, and doesn't even get surprised.

Haruka: ... Looks like it's not just meeting me that you've gotten used to.
You really changed.
And you're advancing properly.
There are two kinds of changes.
Advancing and turning back.
Generally I can't say, but
looks like you needed to advance.
You get involved with several people and continue to advance.
Particularly, through that person's strong feelings.
And, you're
being guided another step down a large road,
so that you're able to choose properly, not being coerced. (T/N: I'm a bit uncertain about this sentence.)
Choices are being made all the time.
But, people can't notice it at all.
You look back and see that you chose this back then,
because you acknowledge that the result you chose is the present moment. (T/N: Furigana/kanji mismatches on "acknowledge", which is the verb/noun mismatch, and "present moment", where the furigana says "now" and the kanji says "present".)
Watanuki: ... Yes.
Haruka(?): ... Very well.
I took all the trouble to see you. Wouldn't you have any interesting stories to tell? (T/N: The spoiler text makes it look like these last two lines are Watanuki's, but I don't see much sense in having him say them.)

Doumeki's grandfather Haruka offers kind and great words. What does Watanuki feel, what will he tell in this reunion after a long time!?

---

Spoilers for 163, thanks to Ashura-sama.

Spoiler: Chapter 163, from Ashura-sama

Chapter 163

Doumeki on the cover.

A great chat with Doumeki's grandfather Haruka. If asked for "an interesting story", of course that man will show up.

Demanding food whenever he looks at his face, and shamelessly at that, his stomach is bottomless. Watanuki expresses anger at this, but Haruka's answer was surprising. Originally, thanks to Haruka's training, while he had a good taste for food, Shizuka wouldn't put in his mouth anything he himself hadn't agreed to. (T/N: It feels like there's a missing particle at the beginning of this sentence, so any ambiguity here is probably intentional of my part.)

Struck on the shoulder by that very Shizuka, he opens his eyes. Looks like it'll be too long to wait until Himawari comes. That the exchange just like in the tale is seen by Himawari is also the same as always.

Returning to the house, he talks about it with Yuuko. At first Watanuki thought it was about Doumeki's tastes.

Yuuko: It's not.
It means that he won't eat
anything but what he can trust.
Eating is a very precious happiness,
and a very frightening thing.

Then, Watanuki is lost looking for the client's house. Mokona was hiding inside his bag. Thanks to that, he made it to the end of the way without getting lost, but pushing Mokona into the bag, he excuses himself into the client's house. However...

What awaited was an unexpected large mansion. Could Mokona's escort possibly spell terribly dreadful trouble for the inauguration of "Watanuki's Cooking Class"!?

Gah!
Who is that girl?
She looks so much like Kohane!

Re: xxxHolic 163 Discussion/164 Prediction Thread

Either it was translated wrong or this chapter had some clampish yaoi subtones, see what doumeki said on page four about being satisfied with things in ones mouth. rofl.

Re: xxxHolic 163 Discussion/164 Prediction Thread

That girl at the end of the chapter might be a ghost or a spirit...but then is it just me or does the page which show the girl...fading? (can't really find a term to describe it...). Since black monkona had also tagged along, maybe the girl is up to something which could put Watanuki in serious danger...

Re: xxxHolic 163 Discussion/164 Prediction Thread

endless_dream,

However, I thought that ghost won't eat food of the living world?!

 

[endless_dream]

Re: xxxHolic 163 Discussion/164 Prediction Thread

ok, I kind of overlooked that point...^^;; so the possibility of her being a ghost is now unlikely...
