So I am writing xxxHolic fic for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
springkink, and I just felt the need to write down what I think the plot of the manga is, so far (up to the end of vol 8). It's one of those mangas where I can never quite keep everything straight in my head, so this is more an explanation to myself, although I'd dearly love any comments on it... and I don't mind being spoiled for later vols.
( xxxHolic, spoilers up to vol 8, spoilers for vol 9 in comments )

Jul. 20th, 2005 06:48 pmI had a great weekend and visit from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daegaer and toscas_kiss. On Saturday we picked up some romance novels (don't ask) from a jumble sale-- it's hard to comprehend that people can still willingly write dialogue like 'You treacherous little vixen!' but they do. Or, 'kiss me before I die of loving you.' *heaves* OR 'When the teacup began to sway they simply smiled and attributed it to the magic of their love.' Their love is teacup-shaking! And:
'She met him thrust for hungry thrust, soaring through the primeval jungle of desire that took them to the beginning of time and slung them back into the future.'
Anyway, moving somewhat dizzily on, I have much love for xxxHolic by CLAMP. Okay, I'm going to change my stance on CLAMP art yet again because I love the art in this. The story is very cute, reminiscent of Legal Drug but with a much better plot so far. The black and white, tone free art is very pretty.
I finally watched episodes 18-26 of Samurai Champloo. For the first few I was wondering where the plot had gone and what had happened to the art, but then the last three turned out to be very good indeed and ( big spoilers for the ending )
