Was there ever any doubt that we'd have scans on time for Tsubasa? ¬¬

Is it just me.... or does little!Syaoran look... I dunno, he looks out of proportion to Daddy!Syaoran in the second panel XD

I agree... Older Yuki= Awesome!

I've noticed he's done that 'long suffering' expression a couple of times... hehe it suites him so well.

Count on Clamp to frustrate us with the most little things: if they had just showed a shadow of CCS|Syaoran we would all be complaining that they are being stingy and too tight on fanservice, but now that they only hid his upper face we just wanna bang our head on a wall...they better show both CCS|SxS before the end of the manga!!

About CCS|Syaoran's name, I personally don't think it's an inherited name, even though from your translation it seems to get along the previous lines; but I don't see what need CCS|Syaoran would have had to give a false name in CCS (notice that the reason TRC|Syaoran did not give his name was because his father specifically instructed him no to just before he left to see Yuuko, not a thing he was asked to do, say, since he was old enough to understand what it meant) and, sincerely, if after all this "syaoran" is not "syaoran", even if it conveniently serves the purposes of explaining whatever in TRC, I would be disappointed that he is not "Syaoran" after all this years of being his fan...

Anyhow, YES.. CLAMP is so evil ><;;; I mean they show us the nose, the mouth .. but not the face.. I mean come on, they don't even show us the "hair part"!! *SIGH*

Actually, to be honest.. in this context, I believe that it is "my" not "our". [Well, I freak out a bit when I first read this translation, thus I have to ask XD]

First reason, checking with other translator [starlady38 and Nyanko], their interpretation are both "my".
while the second reason is, my own interpretation on the word. Yes, I understand that there's a different between JP and CH. In CH, that word mean "I" and while I don't know if is the same meaning but I remembered seeing that same word from TRC Chapter 182 and it is translated as "my".

Thanks for the info Maggie!
I was actually planning to ask you later about it, in case you got your hand on the chinese version, to compare it with the jp one ^^
But it looks like it wasn't necessary :)

Anyway, as I said above, the probability of 'Syaoran' being an inherited name was pretty low, not because of the 'fact' in itself (inheriting a name is not a problem nor an impossibility), but more the importance and impact of the name in itself in Clamp's world and the fans' hearts:

1-from the very start, since 10 years ago with CCS, it had always be "sakura&syaoran": no matter how much Clamp screw up or modify things, I don't think they will touch the fundamental 'base' of it all.
What are the chance we would get something like "ya know about SxS, well, actually.........one of the "S" is a fake!!! Mouahahahahahaha!!!!!"2-if it was a 'normal procedure' in the Li clan, Yuuko wouldn't have said that 'he was instructed/taught well by his father' when little Syaoran used his father's name instead of his own in her shop

>> But more then anything, the 'real' problem for me is that Clamp overused over the years the whole 'being cryptic and hiding stuffs and answering questions with others', even while knowing it's the 'style' of the manga

[yamisakura38]

Anyhow, THANK YOU so much for the translation!! ^__^ Recently, I slowly become a less "thankful" person that rarely make any comment with new update/translation and such *sigh* so, again... Thanks!!

[scottishrefugee]

Thanks for the translation! And like you, I had no doubt that Tsubasa would be immediately out, while we haven't seen anything about Holic 159 yet.

As for Holic 160, http://starlady38.livejournal.com/ sent me the scans, so you can be sure that I'll put them up as soon as I can. I just don't know if I should wait for 159, though...

[scottishrefugee]

Ah, when I said she sent me the scans, I really meant the actual pages, of course. Sorry ^^

[vande_bot]

do you have 159 coming to you at all *hopeful*

[scottishrefugee]

No, but only because starlady sent it to another person ^^

[rose_papillon]

Why CLAMP? Why won't you show us Papa-Syaoran's face?

[crying4themoon]

Because it's too sad... :(
You can tell from what little we get to see that he's kind of gone back to that place he was in pre-CCS!Sakura...he seems so closed-off again. It really makes me wonder what happened to CCS!Sakura.

or maybe I'm being overly dramatic... ^_^;

[rose_papillon]

"It really makes me wonder what happened to CCS!Sakura."

I actually wrote a whole post about a month or two ago with a few theories as to what might have happened to CCS!Sakura. People didn't want to hear them though because most of them were bad! You have to admit, it does seem suss that Lil!Syaoran is only recieving instruction from his father and not his mother. I just really, REALLY hope that CLAMP surprise us all and we get to see grown up CCS!Sakura pop up out of nowhere and yell "PSYCH!!".
