The new series will be called XXXHOLiC ◆ Rei (XXXHOLiC ◆ 戻 < レイ >) and will be published in Young Magazine. The kanji for 戻 roughly means "return

Unexpected news

Apparently Ohkawa told at the talk show that Yuuko and Watanuki will meet again ;) *I wonder how?*

I would like to know more about Clow too! And it would be nice to have *some* of the Tsubasa loose ends fully tied.

That would be awesome! I'm more ore less happy with the ending of Tsubasa. Instead of a Tsubasa comeback I prefer a storyline of some chapters on xxxHOLiC that could tell us some more information.

As for Holic, I'd like the story to take place just where the 19th volume ended, with a new air and new characters *___*

WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That's a good point, and I can understand. I am one of the few who think that "XXXHOLiC Rou" should never have happened to begin with. I wanted XXXHOLiC to be over when it was originally supposed to end.

Clearly CLAMP were sold to XXXHOLiC's popularity, and I don't like that.

Also, clearly, the manga is returning now because of the TV Drama (another purely commercial reason).

All I can hope is that XXXHOLiC gets a proper ending this time around.

Oh God, I am totally in this boat with you guys too. I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one feeling apprehensive amongst all the celebrations.

I really could go on and on about how much I hated Rou and feel it ruined the series. How it totally drained Watanuki's personality, how his choices and actions counteracted every message Yuuko had been making a point of throughout the manga, how it had none of the series previous humour or warmth, and just how pointless it was. It explained nothing, and built on nothing either, in all honesty. And, ugh, 'lazy' is the apt word to describe the ending - or what felt like a complete lack of one. I personally feel the series should have died with Yuuko - that should have been the natural ending point. It should have finished with Yuuko's death and an open ending for Watanuki. So the news of yet more continuation of the series makes me feel worried, especially since, as chibiyuuto said, it has an obviously

Welcome to the boat =)

Let's hope that this time around CLAMP will show us the ending that they've been keeping all this time.
