What the......
I don't know....something's wrong with me. Or something's wrong with the new Holic chapter. After I read through it I was like "So, and where's my new Holic chapter....?". I mean, WHERE is my new Holic chapter.....
Holic
ch. 102 translation
p.1
---
p.2
Watanuki(Wata): "Eh? Eh?"
Wata: "What happened just now was..."
Yuuko(Yuu): "a dream."
Wata: "Bu...but I saw Doumeki's grandfather in my dream..."
((The bubble confusingly points at Yuuko, but Watanuki's the one who's saying it.
p.3
Wata: "Oh, I must have thought of him because he helped me when I was being chased by that ayakashi yesterday night..."
Yuu: "No. You saw the dream that was in this balloon."
Wata: "Huh?"
Yuu: "The kichimu (good dream) in the bursted balloon must have been a dream Doumeki's grandfather once sold to that Yumekai."
Wata: "But such a coincidence..."
p.4
Yuu: "There is no such things as 'coincidence' in this world. There's only [....] hitsuzen."
Wata: "So me seeing that (dream) was also..."
Yuu: "What was it you dreamt of?"
Wata: "I was being shown a picture."
p.5
Wata: "Doumeki's grandfather told me Doumeki was pretty strong and showed me a picture of a little girl wearing a kimono."
Yuu: "Hmm, I see."
Yuu: "It used to be a custom to make weak boys dress like girls so they would grow up to be strong(=healthy)."
((weak = feeble health
Yuu: "You could say it was like (casting) a spell."
Wata: "........so that means that picture...."
p.6
Wata: "is a picture of Doumeki when he was little, right?!?"
Wata: "The picture!! Where's that picture?!"
Yuu: "I don't think you'll find it."
Wata: "What?!"
Yuu: "Did you take the picture (from him) in your dream?"
Wata: "No. I woke up before (I could do) that."
Yuu: "Then it's impossible."
Wata: "Damn!!"
Wata: "Anyway! I got to know Doumeki's embarrassing past!! Alright!"
p.7
Wata: "When he was little he dressed up as a girl!! I've finally found that stoic bastards weak spot!"
Wata: *Ahahahahahahaha*
Yuu: "To see you taking such joy in using a long-awaited 'good omen' for a purpose like this,
Yuu: "in a way, one could say that you are a pretty 'special' existence yourself, Watanuki."
---
Wata: *Fufufufu*
Doumeki(Dou): ".....what?"
Wata: "You used to be feeble when you were little, didn't you?
Wata: *fufufu*
Dou: "So?"
p.8
Wata: *fuhaha*
Wata: "But! A girl's"
Doumeki: "kimono. Yeah, I wore one. My grandfather told me to. How come you know that?"
p.9
Dou: "What, you wanna wear one (,too)?
Wata: "......"
Wata: "Who would want to wear such a thing?!"
Wata: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! What was I thinking? I must have been stupid to think I could
appeal to his sense of shame with something that would embarrass your ordinary person!!!"
Dou: "The day has just begun and look what you're doing[...]"
p.10
Wata: "Ugh!"
Mokona(Moko): "Yuuko told me to go and pick eggplants."
Dou: "Some place close (to here)?"
Moko: "No, a place I flew to using the tengu fan."
p.11
Moko: "Yuuko wants you to make egglant dishes with that."
Moko: "She said we're gonna have a banquet!"
Wata: "Got it."
p.12
Wata: "So...my hatsuyume(first dream)..."
Wata: "was predicting this?"
Moko: "Stewed eggplant! Eggplant with cheese on top!"
Moko: "Eggplant gratin! Fried eggplant with dengaku miso!"
Dou: "Deep-fried eggplant...."

Thoughts:
*baffled*
I'm confused.
So I was totally right right about the 'girls clothes' thing, including the explanation...?! (Wtf?!) But being 'right' didn't even shock me half as much as Clamp-sensei using a STANDARD JAPANESE EXPLANATION in one of their manga. Ookawa usually researches everything she uses in her stories VERY well and now she's throwing a standard Japanese explanation (o_O!!) in my face...?!
Something must be wrong. Terribly, awfully wrong. And I'm not sure I wanna know what it is...
(Btw, are we getting a new chapter next week? Yanmaga said so, but....)
Oh, and p.3
Yuu: "The kichimu (good dream) in the bursted balloon must have been a dream Doumeki's grandfather once sold to that Yumekai.". Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;_;!! Does that mean that we're not getting to see Osoufusama again?! Nooooooooooooooooooooo ;_;!!!
It's weird.....all the new chapters of the series I read were not really interesting this week. The only SUPER EXITING chapter this week was Death Note (ch. 101)!!! Waaaaaaahhhhh *_*!!! Remember that one truly memorable DN chapter that will come to your mind if you've been following the series? This week's chapter might be just as memorable o_O!! Depending on what happens in ch. 102, of course!! Gyaaaaaaaahhhhh!
