FINALLY SOMETHING NICE TO CRY ABOUT!

MY GOODNESS. AFTER ALL THAT THEY FINALLY GET THEIR LIFE TOGETHER.

And the endless fanfiction potential of that new world they live in oh my gosh

According to the reading plan our next stop will be the final installment of xxxholic Chapter 92 before we come back to see a whole bunch more Tsubasa, so I'll be looking forward to (and terrified of) whatever Watanuki is about to go through.

But in the meantime thank you to everyone reading along with SOME ACTUAL HAPPINESS IN TSUBASA FOR ONCE. And extra thank you to my supporters on Patreon, who bring happiness all the time!

WHAT A WILD RIDE. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE LEFT?

Until next time, uh, don't walk down stairs with your eyes closed! This was an outlier that should not be counted.

[completeoveranalysis]

Oops I just realised that wasn't just the end of the chapter but also the end of the VOLUME. Volume 27, the second to last volume, is over.

Which means there is only ONE volume left.

Terrifying.

But that aside thank you for collectively watching me lose my mind a little bit once again! And thank you extra to my supporters on Patreon, who help me get through this all in a very real way.

[completeoveranalysis]

WELL THERE WE GO. HEART COMPLETELY BROKEN AS WE FINISH CATCHING UP WITH XXXHOLIC.

HOW DO WE EVEN CONTINUE AFTER THIS.

It looks like we will next be hopping back onto the Tsubasa Train for like... Oh wow pretty much everything except the epilogue. Surely it can't be sadder than this I think that will be just fine for me.

FINAL CHAPTERS HERE WE GO.

HUGE thank you for watching what might just be Watanuki's worst living memory with me. What fun! And extra thank you to all my supporters on Patreon who make all this possible:

My goodness I can't even imagine what might come next. I suppose we still have the rest of the cast to touch in with but OH MAN I am so glad the climax of it all was this moment here. SO WELL DESERVED.

Thank you to everyone watching me lose my mind over this, and thank you extra to everyone on Patreon who help me find time for it.

[completeoveranalysis]

WELL WELL WELL WHAT A CHAPTER

Things are ramping up to the point where I will have to patiently wait to even see what we're supposed to be looking at, let alone actually understand it. It's the CLAMP way.

BUT CARDCAPTOR SAKURA IS HERE AHHHHHHHH

In the meantime thank you for MEETING CARDCAPTOR SAKURA with me, and extra thanks to the Patrons who helped make it happen!

WELL WELL WELL, Plot reveals just in time for the holiday season! Free headaches given to us personally from Clow Reed himself!

Sometimes Clamp gives you the gift of evil lore that changes everything you thought you knew and I FOR ONE AM GRATEFUL. Thank you Clamp, I will never recover. 

And thank you to all of you as well! I am having the wildest time trying to piece this all together with you all as we go and, somehow, it's only getting even more and more complicated. This is absolutely the suffering I signed up for. Extra thanks also goes to my supporters on Patreon, who keep me going in this and help me find the time to have Clamp set me on fire repeatedly.

Don't make me reread the entire manga again to find a quote that might or might not exist because the temptation is there

In the meantime thank you for sharing your time in my confusion spiral for the week! And also for voting in the poll! Maybe!

But also HUGE thank you to my supporters on Patreon. You help me keep it all going!

Until next time don't try to say Daddyaoran out loud. Or do, actually! Maybe it will help!

[completeoveranalysis]

WELL I GUESS IT'S TIME TO PAUSE!

LET'S SIT AND CALMLY SUFFER UNTIL IT'S TIME TO COME BACK AND SEE WHAT'S EVEN HAPPENING

It has also just occurred to me that I probably should have numbered the posts to reflect the fact that this is still the same chapter as last time but OH WELL

On the plus side we are back with Tsubasa next time? Which will be an entirely different flavour of suffering

:')

You are all wonderful and I appreciate it all so much.

Until next time, uh, don't fall through reality? Not recommended. Probably not a good time. Might even be bad for your teeth.

[completeoveranalysis]

WHAT DID HE SAY?

WRONG ANSWERS ONLY.

My wild hopes are that he said "Play dead", but also like... if this really is an act? HE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THAT HARD.

HE WENT REALLY REALLY HARD.

THERE WERE STABBINGS AND EVERYTHING.

Is it plausible that he just almost killed his whole family to convince Evil Wolverine that he still didn't have a soul, or am I just desperately hoping?

I have no idea!

But until then, thank you everyone for all the wild March 15 energy we've brought to a day that is definitely actually March 16 and/or March 17.

It's close enough.

And thank you extra to all my wonderful Patrons! <3

[completeoveranalysis]

WELL I GUESS THAT'S THAT FOR THIS INSTALLMENT OF TSUBASA: ACID TOKYO CHRONICLES

This is leaving me drowning in so many thoughts. Even like... the end of X/1999 that we never got to see, can you imagine if it was going to end with like... a future shot of a desert? With maybe a small town of people surviving despite it all? Some compromise between Kamui and Fuuma's fates that wiped it all out but left a small portion of humanity behind that would have grown into the peaceful and happy people that are the Clow Kingdom in the future? Is this some small preservation of the ideas that Clamp never got to publish or am I reaching too far?

EITHER WAY IT'S MAGNIFICENT AND I'M HAVING THE BEST TIME

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE HERE TO WITNESS MY SUFFERING AS WE DESCEND INTO ACID TOKYO: THE PLACE YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE

And! Extra special thanks to everyone who supports me on Patreon! You keep me going even when it turns out WE WERE IN ACID TOKYO ALL ALONG

And pause! We have hit 22 out of 87 pages and will resume from there next time.

This chapter has A LOT TO ANSWER FOR ALREADY but it sure is still going! Somehow! I can't wait to see how it wants to wreck me next.

Until then let's bring out the list of lovely patrons who help me get this all going:

EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED IN THE CLUB TONIGHT

How are there still 22 chapters to go.

I am very glad there are still 22 chapters to go but how are there still so many chapters to go.

Time to spend every waking moment thinking about this until the next liveblog.

BUT SUFFERING ASIDE thank you so much for all your comments and replies! They were devastating and wonderful and I am having a wonderful terrible time.

And! Thank you to everyone who supports me over on Patreon! IT GETS ME THROUGH CLONE DEATH THAT'S FOR SURE:

WELL WE'RE QUICKLY SPEEDING FROM BAD TO WORSE, but in the meantime we sure can try to accurately count just how many worlds they really did go to.

It is... very up in the air.

But still! Huge thank you to everyone reading this shorter chapter with me, and extra thank you to my supporters over on patreon! They help me keep this going and it's always greatly appreciated!

WELL KYLE?

NOW WHO HAS NO TIME TO LISTEN TO WOMEN TALKING TO PHANTOMS??

It seems your schedule has cleared up! You should have much more time for this now.

:D 

And yet, somehow, I can’t believe they kind of make me feel things for Kyle Rondart. I can't believe I'm kind of into the tragic figure of Kyle Rondart. I can't believe I could be tempted into writing fanfiction about this.

I can’t believe they did this to me in five pages or less. 

BUT ALL THAT ASIDE, thank you for celebrating this (almost) Clamp Day with me! WHAT A DAY?? IN TEARS for half of it and then A GIFT for me personally?? Thank you Clamp. You never cease to amaze me.

And thank you even more to all the people who support me over on Patreon! It makes more difference than I can ever really say.

But until next time, be careful of surprise Kyle Rondarts hiding in places you might not expect! You just never know!

[completeoveranalysis]

And with that we've officially begun our xxxHolic party! What will we see in our time with the next 8 chapters? Only good things! Probably!

RIGHT?

But speaking of good things thank you to everyone for reading along with me, and extra thank you to all my supporters over on Patreon! You keep me going! How else would we ever get the time to decode the complex layers behind the emotional awkwardness of two teen boys trying to navigate an emotional conversation between them??

When is nice food getting here?!

[completeoveranalysis]

WELL WELL WELL! WE SURE DID SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN!

Time to suffer in a constant state of questioning until we do this again.

It's the Clamp way.

But until then, thank you everyone for making this an absolute DELIGHT of an evening. It's always so fun to see all the comments, especially when I have absolutely no idea what they mean.

Which is also the Clamp way!

Thank you extra to everyone who supports me on Patreon. You get me through the weeks so I can get back here even faster!
