Tsubasa 167 = love! ^^

[rose_of_pain]

Tsubasa 167 is out! And its so much squee and love! Much more on the happy side compared to the previous chapters. Though also looks like something big is about to happen, dun dun dun.

They're in Nihon!!!!! I knew it! I was soooo hoping it'd be Nihon next. ^_^ And Tomoyo is so much love. ;_; So turns out that she told Kurogane during the previous chapter that to save Fai, he could cut his arm off because of the magic Fai had put on it (that spell so that Kurogane could pull Souhi out of his arm) made it a "scapegoat" (thats what the chapter translation uses). So that's why the exchange worked!

Wai! The dialogue between Kurogane and Tomoyo. ;_; And I'm sorry Kuro/Tomoyo fans but the conversation just further pushed in the more KuroFai direction. ^^;; Since they're talking about Kurogane's desire to save Fai and how Kurogane has finally learned the meaning of "true strength" and oh it was so sweet. Kurogane is so amazing. He has no regrets and he's just so cool!

Then Fai comes in....in a kimono, looking oh so nice. ^_^ And punches Kurogane upside the head. XPXPXP And Kurogane is all "O_O" and just kinda stunned. Priceless!

And Fai smiles! HE FUCKING SMILES! Not one of his fake smiles but a real smile! And says "Payback...Kuro-sama." XPXPXP Hahaha! So much love! And he's using nicknames again! Yay! So I think everyone is pretty much agreeing by that panel, the relationship between those two has finally been repaired. They're rather even now. And Fai hitting Kurogane as payback for when Kurogane hit Fai for being stupid was great. XP They really do need to stop sacrificing for each other. ^^;;

But anyways, looks like now the plot moves to R!Syaoran and Watanuki now! Oooh! Though was hoping C!Syaoran would show up soon. Wonder what he's up to. O_o; But hm, I have a feeling Tsubasa might be on another break soon or something since xxxHolic is apparantly not having its next chapter til October 12 or something like that. So not sure if they'll go right into the Watanuki stuff yet or wait til then. Hmmm. Though maybe they'll FINALLY tell us what is up with Watanuki and who is he really? (And if he does end up being some incarnation of Clow Reed, I'm going to smack CLAMP XP Though I so see it coming anyways.)

But yes, I am a happy fan. ^_^ That made up for quite a bit of the angst lately. But I'm sure we're going to go right back to it...

Especially since we all know there's going to be the talk with Kurogane soon we're everyone's going to be all "Kurogane, you're finally home, that's your wish, you don't have to continue, 'cause if you leave, you might not get to go back...*angst*" etc. And I think we all know Kurogane is going to still go with them. XP Unless the only world after this one is the dream world and really I think that's only going to involve Syaoran and Sakura. And well, can't help but agree with the gazillion other KuroFai fans out there that I'm kinda hoping Fai would stay with Kurogane in Nihon. Don't think it'll happen though but it would be nice (I mean in the end and all, if neither of them is dead. x_x;) Oh....and hm, Fai really should be given blood soon, shouldn't he? O_o;;

And where the hell is Seishiro already? XP

Whoo! Just read it, and LOL at Fai punching Kurogane in the face. XDDD I lol'd. I haven't found the translation yet, but I could see that Fai's gone back to calling Kurogane by nicknames (yay! I missed that so much), and of course it seems they have repaired their relationship. :3 And to my relief, it looks like Fai's had the chance to kind of let everything soak in, and had time to clear his head a little, so I don't think he's quite borderline insane anymore. XD Whew!

I was also hoping we'd be getting into Clone!Syaoran next, because we haven't seen a sign of him since he ate Fai's eye. @.@ (Man that seems long ago!)

But man, what a douche...Kurogane cuts off his arm for the sake of saving Fai's life, and all Fai does is punch him in the face! XDDD

Wah~ I hope CLAMP doesn't go on yet another break soon. That two weeks was hard! XD Though at least it's no so climactic at the end of this chapter anyways. (But still!)

Translation is here btw http://ashura-sama.livejournal.com/26013.html#cutid1 ^_^

And yes, the punch was so great XPXP Poor Kuro. And yeah, I think Fai is going to be okay now. Except...well, there still was that coughing up blood thingy and the whole "seems the more I use my magic, the less life I have" thing that still worries me. >>;; And still being a vampy too...but at least he's not super angsty? ^^;;;

Oh sweet, thanks!

And I missed the spoilers that were posted (obviously), but according to what I saw in his/her comments (ashura_sama's), people were freaking out because of the confusion of "to live with" and "to go with"? XD I think he/she said it was all in hiragana so no kanji was there to specify the meaning, but then it turns out it was the kanji for "go" instead of "live" on page 10? So that at first it looked like it could've meant "If you wanted to live with him" instead of "if you wanted to go with him"? Was that what everyone exploded over? LOL (My friend freaked the hell out when she read the spoilers, so up until this I was wondering what the hell had happened to make the kurofai comm explode XD)

Ah yeah, Fai coughing up blood. @.@ I'm really hoping that doesn't mean anything. ;.; I'm hoping that the whole arrival in Nihon-koku and starting with Kurogane waking up meant that everyone else had recovered a little a.k.a. wasn't on the verge of death anymore.
