Welcoming  new  experiences  had  been  the  most  presented  advice.  Surely,  he  wasn't  going  to  complain  neither  to  miss  such  opportunities  of  pleasant  moment  together  ---  nevertheless,  he  seemed  hesitating  between  testing  to  put  one  feet  inside  the  water  at  some  point  or  just  focusing  over  appreciation  of  the  sunlight  for  the  moment.  For  play  games  in  which  depending  which  one  he  would  try  understanding  unexplained  rules  or  even  preparing  a  meal  that  will  be  shared  with  other  people,  there  will  be  no  hesitation  …  however  experiencing  his  own  desires  and  own  explorations  remained  apparently  difficult,  even  when  someone  was  around  him,  even  when  he  was  inside  an  safe  landscape.  It  wasn't  concerning  ghosts.  It  wasn't  concerning  even  impression  he  could  bring  to  Sakamoto-kun.  It  was  just  something  who  making  him  considering  silently  inside  discreete  thoughtfulness  what  he  wanted  to  do  for  himself,  alone,  with  no  one  to  please,  with  no  one  to  bring  all  his  attention  towards  …  Silent  observation  resonated  inside  how  Sakamoto-kun  didn't  wasted  any  time,  meanwhile  he  was  remaining  here,  watching,  troubled  to  have  no  chores  to  do!  Habit  to  be  around  people  and  always  having  his  perspective  attached  to  them  created  an  pleasant  mental  barrier  who  allowing  him  to  get  distracted  of  his  own  troubles,  or  even  pretending  previous  loneliness  never  had  been  present,  when  nothing  could  be  wrong  about  him,  when  nothing  had  to  troubling  other  with  his  presence  …  though,  compared  to  his  misunderstanding  over  himself,  even  back  inside  that  loneliness,  he  found  strategies  not  to  be  alone  with  himself  and  his  wishes,  desires  and  dreams  …

He  wasn't  really  living  for  himself,  wasn't  he  ?  Wasn't  something  he  had  been  trying  to  hide  so  hard  every  day  at  school,  wasn't  something  Yuuko-san  had  tried  to  explain  to  him  ?  Remembering  that  single  knoweldge  that  himself  internally  knew.  Slowly,  deep  breath  was  taken  as  there  was  no  desire  to  pushing  troubling  comments  in  middle  of  such  a  nice  atmosphere  !  He  was  breathing  opportunities  of  a  good  time  every  time  he  found  one,  which  was  true,  which  remained  true  !  He  simply  cannot  helped  to  thoughtfully  think  over  people  he  cared  about.  He  wanted  bring  good  memories  to  his  friends,  had  to  think  about  what  kind  of  gift  he  could  give  to  Yuuko-san  (where  she  would  want  some  drinks  and  foods  but  would  have  to  consider  she  would  want  more  of  it!),  and  some  thoughts  were  brought  over  an  distant  friendship  in  which  he  hoped,  inside  world  he  was  in,  he  was  fine  …  These  emotional  waves  passing  within  his  body  without  too  much  explanations  will  pass,  as  always  they  had  always  passed,  as  he  regretted  to  had  feeling  it  during  such  an  pleasant  moment.  ❝  With  that,  life  is  always  brigther  and  never  stop  to  shine  !  "  He  expressed  with  enthousiasm.  ❝  I  might  try  the  water  later,  been  long  time  I  have  been  on  it,  besides,  it's  an  beach,  it's  the  point  !  I  will  content  myself  for  a  while  to  enjoy  the  sunlight  !  It  would  appease  my  brain  !  "  Decision  was  finally  made,  as  hope  concerning  his  expression  and  the  slight  sadness  within  his  ocean  eyes  won't  be  noticed  right  away.  At  the  moment,  he  would  have  preferred  be  distracted  by  a  ghost  or  sensing  one  than  suddently  realizing  trouble  was  on  himself.

Brigthness  once  more  exposed  to  the  notion  of  his  other  friends.  Oh,  he  rarely  spoke  about  them  with  him,  after  all,  though  himself  was  curious  about  his  other  friends  he  have  !  ❝  Not  all  of  them.  I  always  and  often  find  myself  with  one  of  my  comrade,  from  whom  every  time  I  haven't  asked  for  anything  but  who  always  gets  in  my  way,  although  our  moments  together  are…  something.  Another  one  would  have  loved  follow  me  there  but  well,  she  is  currently  busy,  and  I  won't  probably  know  what  she  had  been  doing  !  There  is  Kunogi-chan  !  I  would  have  loved  Kunogi-chan  come  with  me,  but  visibly,  she  couldn't  for  be  temporary  away  …  I  would  have  loved  so  much  present  her  to  you  !  ❞  Excitement  exposed  inside  his  last  sentenes,  as  mention  of  Doumeki  bored  him,  and  when  he  was  troubled  over  his  own  Yuuko-chan  reference.  She  would  have  probably  said  something  keep  him  thinking  !  ❝  What  about  yours  ?  ❞  He  asked  slowly.  ❝  I'm  pretty  sure  your  friends,  if  they  could  come,  won't  have  hesitating  neither  !  ❞  He  exposed  slowly.  ❝  Would  love  to  met  them  too  !  ❞  Though  he  didn't  know  what  kind  of  impression  he  would  made.  Maybe,  inside  his  gaze,  his  desire  to  appreciating  a  lot  the  sunlight  exposed,  he  accepted  with  a  nod  the  sunblock.  ❝  It  will  be  better  for  enjoy  the  sun  without  burn.  ❞  He  joked  in  return.  There  was  another  amusement  following  his  sentences.  ❝  I  can't  help  myself  to  think  about  something  I  can  taste  later  …  or  some  gifts  to  offer  too.  ❞  He  admitted  in  return,  as  he  was  searching  distractions  all  around.  Once  focused  over  simply  sunlight  appreciation  and  safety  of  Ruji-kun,  his  thoughts  would  escaping  towards  Sakura-chan  and  Syaoran-kun  …  Oh,  he  wanted  offering  them  something.  Some  remembrance,  some  gift  without  too  much  compensation.  An  moment  of  temporary  worry  in  which  he  swallowed  back  as  his  previous  immediate  realization  upon  himself.  ❝  There  is  something  relaxing  about  tea~  Even  if  it's  terribly  hot,  for  the  night,  it  will  be  perfect  !  There  must  be  something  icy  to  eat  somewhere  though  !  ❞  He  appreciated  his  strange  idea  wasn't  rejected,  when  he  blinked  in  front  of  the  appreciation  …  and  showed  his  joy  with  nice  gestures  of  excitement.  ❝  Looooove  that  !  Promise,  you  will  enjoy  all  the  sun  and  the  sea  we  came  for  just  later  !  If  you  want  something,  don't  hesitate  me  to  tell  me  !  In  return,  I  would  love  to  show  my  gratitude  and  it  will  help  make  this  day  better  !  ❞

He had allowed his question to linger in the air whilst he continued to rub sunblock into every nook and cranny of his body that he could find - along his arms, all across his torso, the parts of his legs that weren't covered by his swimming trunks. He'd even tried to clumsily rub some along his back although that proved to be a little more tricky. While focusing on this did give him the nice bonus of ensuring he would be thoroughly protected from the sun's rays, it also gave his companion some room to decide if his suggestion sounded acceptable - it had just been just that, after all, and if his companion wanted to wait or to do something else than he wouldn't take any offence to that - he had gone all the way here to have fun after all!

"That's the best way to do it," He was quick to agree with that - it was better to live in the moment and to enjoy it for what it was, not needlessly complicate it. "Are your friends pretty busy, though?" Maybe with work or school? Come to think of it, he had never really thought to ask about his friends and now that the thought had actually occurred to him, he was actually pretty curious! There was always something nice about hearing about someone else 's friends, even if he didn't know them, personally. "You want to borrow this sunblock? Might help with enjoying the sun," He joked, now holding out the tube of sunblock, his body covered in a faint white streak as he had thoroughly lathered himself with the stuff. "Tea, huh...? So, even on a day like this, you want a hot drink?" He had to admit, there was something strangely admirable about that, albeit he wasn't sure if any vendors around here would be selling tea. "Why don't we walk around, keep our eyes out for a vendor? Surely there's gotta be one selling tea, right? Plus, in the meantime you can tell me about what tea flavours you like!"

2. L for LOVE. CLAMP draws the forms of love.

The artwork in this area are divided in 8 types of love seen throught CLAMP's manga.

3. A for ADVENTURE. CLAMP weaves the stories of adventure.

350 manuscripts from 6 action-packed manga series: RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE.

The second room focuses on the power of words spun by CLAMP, exhibiting quotes form their works on the walls. Visitors can also pull one phrase sticker from the Phrase Box from CLAMP and take it home, or stick it to a wall in the room. There are 120 different phrases to pull.

6. IMAGINATION

Timeline of 35 years of creative work, from 1989 to 2024, featuring manga volumes, magazine issues, and more.

An installation in the center of the room also features quotes from a new interview with the four women specially for this event.

TCM Day 23: Shigatsu Tsuitachi Co. LTD

Every year on April 1st, a strange store would appear somewhere in the bustling streets of Tokyo. The shop wasn’t always the same thing - one year it was a florist shop, the next year it was a stationery store. Everyone who noticed it swore the store wasn’t there the previous day, and if you tried to find it again on April 2nd, it would have vanished as though it never existed in the first place.

Nobody knew much about the strange store that existed for only a single day and that never appeared in the same location twice, but one boy made it his mission to find it every year.

Vampire teen Subaru was looking for someone. And for some reason Seishirou always appeared and disappeared with the Shigatsu Tsuitachi store.

His twin brother Kamui thought he was stupid and that Subaru should just dump the bastard, but he always tagged along. He claimed it was for Subaru’s protection.

So when the clock struck midnight and it became April 1st, they began their search. Like every year, Kamui hoped they wouldn’t find the store. But like every year, they did.

Kamui was the one who spotted the cute little cafe nestled between a Korean barbecue place and a bookstore. It was morning rush hour, and with the amount of foot traffic Kamui almost didn’t see the small sign out front.

Shigatsu Tsuitachi Cafe! (Cats coming soon!)

He knew Subaru hadn’t seen it. Kamui didn’t want to point it out. That guy was no good, and Subaru was better off without him. But he worried that if he didn’t tell Subaru and Subaru found out later, he would be angry. Or worse, sink into a deep depression like the first time that guy disappeared.

Kamui didn’t want that.

So he stopped Subaru with a tap on the arm and pointed.

It took a second for Subaru to see what Kamui was pointing at. When he did, his blue eyes lit up. The next instant his face went white with dread as he realized that now that he had found the store, he would have to go in.

It was the same every year. He was good at the anticipation, the planning, the looking up vacant storefronts to guess where the store might pop up this year and creating a search pattern based on it. But when the actual moment came, his natural shyness and anxiety caught up with him. After all, it had been an entire year since he last saw Seishirou. Maybe he wouldn’t want to see Subaru.

Maybe he’d have forgotten Subaru entirely.

But Subaru wanted to see him.

So Subaru squared his shoulders and crossed at the light. When he pushed the cafe door open, Kamui was right on his heels. A little bell tinkled overhead, announcing their entry, and Subaru’s nose was hit with the strong scents of flowers, baked goods, and tea.

“Welcome!” a cheery voice called as Subaru’s vampire eyes adjusted to the brighter artificial light. “Oh, it’s Subaru-san and Kamui-san! Long time no see!”

“Good morning, Sakura-san,” Subaru said shyly. Last year she had been dressed in a simple black uniform, but today she was wearing a frilly white apron over a ruffled pink dress with a big white bow at the throat to match the cutesy decor of the cafe. If Subaru had to guess, he would have put her at fourteen years old. But like him, the years didn’t seem to touch her.

It was the same for the others who worked at this mysterious store.

Subaru looked around while Sakura-san guided them to a table, allowing Kamui to pass him. The cafe’s interior matched Sakura-san’s fluffy pink and white aesthetic. The other server, Syaoran, was dressed in a pink button up shirt with a grey vest and trousers. His tie was white, like Sakura-san’s bow. He was serving some faces that Subaru recognized from previous years, and he waved to Ryuu-ou and Yuzuriha, who both waved back enthusiastically.

But Seishirou was nowhere in sight.

Subaru’s spirits plummeted and he stared at the lacy tablecloth as Sakura-san handed out the menus. “Just call me once you’re ready to order!” she said, and flitted away to welcome the next customers.

As soon as she was gone, Kamui kicked Subaru under the table. Subaru looked over at him in surprise. Kamui was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest, his expression both bored and annoyed.

“Don’t sulk yet,” Kamui said. “They’ve got to have a kitchen in this place, right? Maybe that guy is back there.”

Reassured, Subaru smiled. “You’re right,” he said. He couldn’t give up hope yet. It was too soon.

A middle-aged woman sitting nearby had ordered a full-size cake for herself. As she moved to cut a piece, the cake exploded. Kamui and Subaru both flinched as gobs of icing splattered their table.

The woman screamed in surprise as a round white creature burst from the cake. “Hi! I’m Mokona! ‘Nice to meet you’ shake!” the rabbit-like creature cheered as it held out a paw to the woman, who screamed again.

“What is the meaning of this!” she yelled at Syaoran.

“What is the meaning of this!” Mokona echoed in a sing-song voice. Her chant was picked up by the other Mokona, identical except for colour. The pair held hands and continued to chant as they danced in a circle around the ruined cake.

“Why was there an animal in my cake?” the woman demanded.

Syaoran was beginning to look flustered. “I- but, that’s what you ordered,” he said.

The woman laid into him. “I did not! Who would order an animal in a cake? This is disgusting!”

People were staring. Sakura-san was clutching her stack of menus to her chest and staring at Syaoran like she wanted to help him, but she had just been called over to take an order for a big table.

As the woman continued to shout, Syaoran’s identical twin brother Tsubasa slipped out of the kitchen in a chef’s outfit. Tsubasa came to stand behind Syaoran and put a supportive hand on his shoulder. He was smiling, but Subaru could see the anger simmering underneath. Or maybe he just knew it was there when it wasn’t visible. After all, he too had a protective twin brother.

“Ma’am, you ordered the Birthday Surprise. Is that right?” Tsubasa smoothly interrupted the woman’s tirade.

“Yes, I-” the woman began, turning to rip into her new target.

“Well, it clearly states in the menu,” Tsubasa said, taking the menu off the woman’s table and flipping to the correct page, “That Mokona will leap out of the cake to sing happy birthday to you. By ordering this cake you agreed to that.”

“You agreed!” the Mokonas chanted, continuing their dance in the opposite direction. “You agreed! You agreed!”

The woman sputtered. The next thing that came out of her mouth was, “Bring me your manager!”

Syaoran and Tsubasa exchanged a look. Syaoran still looked nervous, but Tsubasa didn’t leave him. Tsubasa raised his voice. “Kimihiro!”

Watanuki stuck his head out of the kitchen. “Yeah?” He was related to Tsubasa and Syaoran somehow, but Subaru wasn’t sure of the exact link.

“Please ask Sakura-chan to come out when she has a minute.”

Subaru was distracted from what happened next by the tinkling of the bell over the door. It was Seishirou, and he was carrying a large crate.

Subaru stood up so fast he almost knocked his chair over. “Seishirou-san!”

Seishirou peered at Subaru over his glasses, and Subaru’s heart rate picked up. Nerves. He was oblivious to everyone except Seishirou. He was even oblivious to the low rumbling growl coming from Kamui.

There was a beat before Seishirou smiled during which Subaru’s anxiety nearly sent him through the ceiling. “Subaru! How are you?” Seishirou asked. He set the crate on a nearby unoccupied table. The crate was making noise. There was something inside, something alive. Possibly several somethings.

“I’m well,” Subaru said, flushing with pleasure. “It’s been a long time. Have you been well?”

“Hm. Well enough, I suppose,” Seishirou replied.

Kamui had stopped growling and was squinting suspiciously at the crate. There were definitely several somethings moving around in there. “What’s in the crate?” Kamui asked.

“Cats. For the cat cafe,” Seishirou said.

Kamui and Subaru both blinked, then looked back at the crate.

It was a very big crate.

“How many cats?” Subaru asked at the same time Kamui said, “Must be some large cats.”

Whatever Seishirou’s response was going to be was interrupted by a shriek so high and shrill that the cats in the crate went silent.

“Is this a joke?!”

The three stopped their conversation and turned. The drama on the other end of the store was still playing out. The woman who had demanded the manager had finally got her, but still wasn’t happy.

The manager of Shigatsu Tsuitachi was Sakura-chan, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Sakura-san. She also appeared to be ten years old. This seemed to be what the woman was upset about now.

“I’m the owner of this store,” Sakura-chan said with her characteristic bright smile. “I understand that you had some concerns about a cake?”

The woman sputtered with rage. “The owner! A child like you?” she snapped. “You think I’m an idiot?” She grabbed Sakura-chan by the arm and pulled.

Sakura-san gasped and dropped her menus, starting forward to rescue her boss. Both Tsubasa and Syaoran were moving in as well, but Seishirou moved with uncanny speed. He ripped the woman’s hand off Sakura-chan and moved between them. He was still smiling, but it had gone from benign to threatening in a mere instant.

“Boss, should I escort her out?” he asked without turning to Sakura-chan.

“Yes, please, Sei-san,” she replied. Syaoran and Tsubasa clustered around her, but she waved them off, insisting that she was all right.

After the woman was thrown out the front door and seemed unable to get back in, the cafe staff gathered around the crate. “So these are the cats?” Sakura-chan asked, looking up at Seishirou.

“Indeed.” His smile was back to being benign, but Subaru didn’t think anyone would forget how he had just thrown a woman across the entire store and out the door.

“Where did you get them?” Watanuki asked.  He was trying to peek through one of the air holes, and jerked back when he got a hiss in response.

“Oh, here and there.”

“Here and there?” Tsubasa was as suspicious of Seishirou as Kamui always was, which meant he was Kamui’s favourite.

Sakura-chan didn’t seem to mind the questionable origins of the cats. “Well, please open the crate and we’ll take a look at them,” she said.

“Of course.” Seishirou pried the top of the crate off with a crowbar. Out spilled at least a dozen cats, eager to be free from the box they had been forced into.

A snarl came from the crate.

They stared.

“Is that a mountain lion?” Watanuki demanded. He backed away from the crate, hands up as if that would somehow fend it off.

“It is, technically, a cat,” Seishirou replied.

“Oh Sei-san,” Sakura-chan sighed. “I think you should put that one back.”

“All right, Boss.” If he was disappointed, it didn’t show.

The mountain lion disappeared fast. Disturbingly fast. Kamui kept looking at Seishirou like he thought Seishirou had taken it out to the alley and killed it. Or set it loose in the middle of Tokyo. Subaru wasn’t entirely sure that he hadn’t.

Sakura-san returned to their table with an apologetic smile. “Sorry for the wait. Are you ready to order?” she asked. 

Subaru hadn’t even glanced at the menu. “Um.”

“I’ll have the cherry blossom tea and strawberry chiffon cake,” Kamui said, and Subaru blinked. He hadn’t thought that Kamui had looked at the menu either, but he must have because Sakura-san was smiling and taking it from him. “And you, Subaru-san?”

“I’ll have the same,” Subaru said, too embarrassed to ask her to give him another minute.

The regular house cats were running and playing through the store. Ryuu-ou sat on the floor and was immediately mauled. He laughed as he disappeared under the swarm of cats. Rather than helping him, his friend Yuzuriha was snapping photos with her cell phone and announcing that she’d show them to Souma later.

A cat hopped into Kamui’s lap as Seishirou brought their order out. “Where did you get the cats?” Kamui asked again.

Seishirou repeated his answer. “Here and there.”

“This one has a collar.” Kamui’s fingers rubbed the metal tag inscribed with the cat’s name and the phone number for its humans.

“Well, we’re only borrowing it for the day, so isn’t it fine?” Seishirou continued to smile as he set down the plates and cups, then moved on to the next customer.

Your right and you should say it.

The Tops with sexiest anime men: Half of the ‘Naruto’ men, Levi Ackerman, Sebastian Michaelis, all boys from ‘Haikyuu’, Usui Takumi, boys from Free, boys from ‘Yuri on Ice’, Ban, half of the boys from ‘Fairy Tail’, boys from ‘Ouran High School Host Club’, Roy Mustang and Howl Jenkins Pendragron.

Me: Ok, ok. I admit that they are sexy. But have you seen this scene from ‘xxxHolic’?

[existentialismee]

NAME: kimihiro watanuki RACE: faekin (specifically a nymph, aligned with water and ice) ALLEGIANCE: he resides in the kingdom of xalphina, although isn’t particularly fond of getting involved in the kingdom’s politics. he worries for the prince and princess; concerned that there is too much responsibility on their shoulders, and believes that they have kind qualities. but, he keeps to himself most of the time; helping the kingdom’s citizens in any small ways he can. quite often he finds himself leaving the kingdom as well, to check in on those he cares that cannot be where he is.

OCCUPATION: owner of a shop of magical wares. from potions to mystical items, watanuki’s collection reigns as one of the most well known in xalphina; though his store is different from most, as he does not accept dust as currency. instead, he trades items for other items; so long as he deems them of equal value, he is happy to trade with any customer that walks through his door. along with physical items, watanuki also teaches seeking magicians how to properly use their mana; though his own power is still capped from his own world, he is already experienced in using magic and can spread his wisdom to those who are not. if you’re lucky, you might come in on a day where he’s decided to bake, or cook delicious meals! their tastes are otherworldly, and can range from anything you could ever dream of eating.

APPEARANCE: watanuki could still be mistaken for being a human if it were not for the pair of blue crystallized horns that sit on the top of his messy black hair. if you look close enough at them, they almost appear to be filled with water; though this could just be your imagination (he really isn’t sure himself). his ears have become pointed and slightly elongated, although not quite like an elf. he is adorned in blue and white robes, with jewels hanging from his horns and wrists; almost sparkling like morning dew when you look at them close enough. his glasses (much to his chagrin) have been swapped for a golden monocle; sitting over his blue eye, while his golden is uncovered. though his eyes have always been unusual, they have a certain shine to them now that’s almost impossible to ignore; fissures of magic often showing against the light that shines against them. a pair of wings have also appeared at his back, strikingly similar looking to cool, blue shards of ice; they look cold, perhaps even feel that way, but watanuki hardly notices them at all. though he may seem hard to approach, watanuki’s warmth has stayed with him; he’s quite embarrassed by his current appearance, and would rather discuss business rather than what he looks like.

RACIAL ABILITIES:

is able to perform slight water manipulation, though can hold no more than a cup of water. sometimes, his skin can appear slightly iridescent.

UNLOCKED ABILITIES:

able to produce five magical barriers per day, which can only accommodate two people at a time. will shatter after 1-5 hits.

MAGIC SPELLS:

heal, sleep, water breathing, invisibility. will use ice only if he has enough mana, and if the situation is dire enough.

WEAPONS: none. but his smoking pipe has turned into something that looks like it’s made from crystal, instead of his dora the explorer decorated one..
