I still haven't watched Who's finale. I'm dreading it a bit, if I have to be honest. UM. In other news, I had to go to school once again to fix yet another thing with the student exchange. The paperwork has been so exhaustive and long that I BETTER get accepted. Grr.

I re-read all of my Card Captor Sakura collection last week (physical collection, mind. I only own about ten tankoubons of Tsubasa and eight of xxxHolic, but I’m only missing a few issues of CCS, which is made of awesome), seeing that I’ve been in an odd manga mood, and I decided it was time around to catch up with Clamp.

Well. I’m all caught up with Tsubasa now, and I am very, very confused. Uh. I left off when they’d just returned to Celes country, and as if Fai’s backstory wasn’t enough of a mindfuck (aside with the whole SYAORAN IS A CLONE!!1! thing, that is), then EVERYTHING else happened. UM. WHAT. I feel like my mind has been severely fucked with and can’t tell up from down anymore. Sakura was a clone? And now the clone is (maybe) dead? And as she’s lost and clone Syaoran is as well pretty much all the road so far amounts to nothing? Syaoran is CCS Syaoran and Sakura’s kid?? (incesty vibes much…) Sakura got her memory wiped? OR WHAT, because I spent the last 190 issues thinking Clow was her dad and Fujitaka was Syaoran’s adopted father and now it ISN’T? ARGH, I DON’T KNOW NOTHING ANYMORE. Um. I still love it, and it’s still thrilling, but man, was it easier without all these weird twists. If the gals are trying to get themselves in the mood to write/draw more X, though, I’m pretty sure they won’t have any troubles with that. This better have a happy ending. I mean, it should, right? It’s still Sakura and Syaoran, after all. Seishirou and Subaru had an ending like that because it called for it (speaking of which, boy, do I want to see them meet up, no matter how ridiculous I find the ‘ZOMG vampires are KEEWWL’ storyline), but these two, well, they’re supposed to be all happiness and fluffy bunnies. OR AT LEAST I EXPECT SO.

It is my firm belief that Kamui’s true power is to spread angst whenever he goes. Seriously, the boy has a gift for it. Any of the other dragons showed up and it was dandy. He does and the world goes gloomy and – GASP – Clamp starts throwing grayscale tones around. Grayscale tones of doom, I might add. o_O

Oh, and I’m also all caught up with xxxHolic. It is, as always, just charming, and it’s managed to remain mysterious and intriguing without going into the realm of wtfuckery like Tsubasa has. Huh. I love Tsubasa, but boy, does it sometimes make my head ache.
