Anyone else into this CLAMP series? There are about 13 volumes out in Japan right now and it's interconnected with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I'm a big Watanuki and Doumeki fan so it's been nice to see their friendship get better over the series. : )

I was a little annoyed that they changed Kohane's latest arc in the anime from the manga material, but I guess it's cause it wasn't over yet. What are your thoughts?
 
xxxHolic is definitely one of my favorites and might be the series that started me with my love for everything CLAMP. I saw the anime first and eventually decided to just read both xxxHolic and Tsubasa Chronicle together. Though I've been sticking to the official Del Ray releases instead of scanlations so I'm a bit behind. Not as much with xxxHolic as with Tsubasa since xxxHolic 12 comes out in less than 2 weeks i think, whille Tsubasa 17 only just recently came out.

It's a bit of a disappointment to see the Kohane arc changed, but since I'm behind I don't know what else is getting lost with the Kohane arc beyond vol 11.
 
Yeah, I usually read scans, but I'm also starting to collect the Japanese volumes. It's great that Del Ray and companies outside of Japan in general release the books, but it's a shame that they're not the same quality as the Japanese ones. I went to Kinokuniya and got the first volume and was amazed by how much cooler the book was with color pages and the purple page edge coloring. It makes them seem more mystic like the plot. : )

Del Ray always releases the books with coloured pages - you just have to get the first printing, as after they stop releasing them with coloured pages. Of the 11 volumes I have, only one or two don't have coloured pages included because I was late on buying them ...

So yes, I do read xxxholic obviously

I really like the characters. As I don't follow Tsubasa, it gets a little confusing at times when they try to do the cross over references. I know in the last volume I bought, there were a lot of things I couldn't remember happening before, so either I need to reread the whole series or consult my Tsubasa-reading friends some more

So it ends with 19 volumes. The series was magnificent and definitely one of my favourite mangas but the ending.

The ending was WTF from CLAMP....but I think CLAMP should actually come back to this series....to break the "chains" off Watanuki. There were too many questions left unanswered....its becoming a trend with certain mangakas and it pisses me off tbh.
