AHHH HOLIC THIS WEEK

Happily, the language was faaairly simple this time around, so I just sat down and translated it.

O-oh wow, thank you. Dumbfounded to the extreme here. And I know this whole chapter is about Watanuki (what are you doing, boy), but: DOUMEKI. DOUMEKI.

[mairenn_k]

This was more or less my reaction too. I think my heart broke a little for Doumeki when I saw that second preview page.

[zeldas]

I think my heart ached a little, too -- No, wait, it hurt so freaking much. I think we got more (very pained) facial expressions from Doumeki in the past three chapters than what he showed us in the past 13 volumes, or so.

[lodelco]

I am practically dumbfounded. People were expecting him to inherit the shop but...well you know, plot-twisted 360.

If this is what Watanuki wants I'm still confused as to what Doumeki wants out of this. If Doumeki was somewhat like Tomoyo and Watanuki a Sakura I'd understand. Wait. That's a bad analogy since it means Doumeki was in love with Watanuki. Is he? Shit, if Doumeki's planning anything I half expect him to get down on his knees and propose.

Watanuki is acting so stupid those past chapters. He suddenly started to ADORE Yuko (something he never did before!) and now this??
If he honestly wanted to make Yuko happy he wouldn't be acting like this, he would go on with his life with the people Yuko chose to be with him! >_<
Damn Watanuki, stoping acting like this! Is sooo not you!!!

somehow I feel the same way as loveless chan,,,but it just surprised me so much that the story turned so unexpectedly...I don't know what I really feel about this.....

Thanks for the translation anyway ^^

[loveless_chan]

At least know I think the theory of him being Clow or Fei Wang is dead right? Cause Watanuki can't age anymore.....
