Oh my...what just happened?

[chibiyuuto]

I haven't read the translations yet, but it looks like Yuuko told Watanuki through a dream to live his life and get out of his "cage". However, in the end he still decides to wait for Yuuko?

It was quite a relief and I hope they won't continue for a time being

I know most people see the "change" in Watanuki, I am aware of that, I just don't XD I think he changed mostly after Rou, but not so much before that (that doesn't mean he didn't change, just not as much as how it was implied).

Glad you agree with me about the plot =)

I liked the bird metaphor, and I liked the grandson thing... because obviously Watanuki will live a lot more than Doumeki.

It's that twisted happy ending that CLAMP does best XD

[canon_4_life]

for a DouWata fan, for me its a quite happy ending (on my end, and thats how I interpreted) I mean come on... Despite Doumeki got married, he still cares for Watanuki... I do think they had (an indirectly) mutual relationship; no matter what happens you will not die alone...

It's almost the same as Wish actually... although it's canon that they'll ended up together XDDD in XXXHOLiC it's open ended... and another disappointment... HIMAWARI D: We didn't see her until the end! D:

I also see the Wish similarity. Again, typical CLAMP twisted ending =)

I've just finished the chapter and, well it was kind of disappointment for me. I know that CLAMP is evil and will not give what their wants them to give but I really didn't think that they were this mean, lol.

I agree with you everything you said about CLAMP's other works and Tsubasa. Actually I always prefer Tsubasa over HOLiC but, It's really shame that CLAMP just wasted Yuuko that easy (okay, it wasn't that easy but it's still a shame) I was desperately waited for Yuuko to say something to Watakuni but instead she just smiled at him, bitterly. I dropped few tears when Watakuni realize everything. >_>

Though, I still don't undertsand about Doumeki's situation. I guess I have to read the last 20 chapters again.

Hahahaha the ending was so open!

I also expected Yuuko to say something! But I think this way was more cruel XD

if my count is good, Watanuki worked for Yuko for 4 years and waited for 10 years and Shaolan was 14 years old when he wish reversing time and went back to the past, so Watanuki had to wait the numbre of years that shaolan erased.
It's Logical, a bit too logical. the end is very poetic, but I think that an explanation about the egg would have been welcomed, maybe the tankoubom will have bonus pages.

Interesting ending to xxxHolic, but so anti-climatic. I was hoping Watanuki would have a conversation with Yuuko, but the Doumeki twist was interesting. Kinda sad to know how long Watanuki continues to wait.

Until Rou, xxxHolic was a favorite CLAMP series and I preferred it to Tsubasa. Can't wait to see where Gate 7 goes from here now that they only have two series in progress.

[chibiyuuto]

The grandson thing was interesting... Watanuki is not jealous of who Doumeki will have his kids with? xD

Even though your favorite series is now over, please don't abandon us! Stay with us with GATE 7, Kobato. and whatever comes next =)

I guess Watanuki breaks the record for having harem of three seme who are basically same persons. xD

[chibiyuuto]

HAHAHA WIN!
