Japanese raws at long last, look for them over at MH.

I agree about the initial cause being a little lame. I'm hoping maybe Syaoran was being secretive? Maybe?

Thanks a lot for the spoilers. ♥ ♥

Thanks for the translation, Neither! There's a spelling error in page 3 you didn't catch, by the way: it should be customer, not costumer.

Tiny question: when do you think this flashback happened relative to the CCS timeline?

[ashura_sama]

Thanks for the correction. Considering Shaoran's er... history, "costumer" makes for something of a hilarious error.

I have no reason to think Sakura and Shaoran would have waited too long to have a child, so I'd say between 15-20 years after they were last seen in CCS. But time in the Holic world seems to be sort of folding over, so it's possible that this flashback took place in a time frame that was supposed to fall within CCS, thus justifying what Yuuko told Watanuki about the real staff.

thanks!!!!

i really think this part is lame too, is something like "watanuki learn he must try to futfill his wwishes himsel so Xiao Lang is his almost identical twin" then he must say something in those lines to me
and thinking in the spoilers How many Sakuras there is out there because the one in the past of clone is dawther of Clow ou no Fujitaka ou????
there is 4 of them or what??

Can I ask you a question?

When I saw the splash page of chapter 189, I at once thought the two Syaorans were the same 'kind' of Syaoran - that is to say, the one on the left was "Syaoran" as we just saw him in this chapter, while the one on the right was the "Syaoran" who got his time rewound by Yuuko. Both young boys, though the second one just looks like he's young, but is actually a lot older. That's just my impression, though, and now that I looked at your interpretation of the splash, I'm not so sure anymore.

[ashura_sama]

You're right in that there's no evidence that one is the clone and the other is the real one. I guess this just reminded me of the latest color splash (183), where we had the clones in white clothes and the real ones in black clothes (and, curiously, the mirrored text on the same side as the real ones).
