Yeah, I love this series (well, except the non-ending ending, which I guess isn't the ending any more but it was at the time ... CLAMP is weird) but the crossover was frustrating as all hell, since while I do read Tsubasa, I don't enjoy it as much and thus wasn't ready the two series at the same point. It's probably the main reason I don't have a great deal of faith in CLAMP anymore (well, that and the fact that they clearly don't even care about finishing X/1999 at this point).

Oh yeah, I remember being really annoyed at one point at XxxHolic because it completely spoiled a major plot point of Tsubasa with one of their crossovers (I was reading both but was farther ahead with Holic). It was really frustrating to have to read both of the series to try and figure out what was going on.

They're going to demolish the Tokyo Tower soon-ish, according to a Japanese friend, and X still hasn't ended.
Schoolgirls get warped to fantasy realms from the Tokyo Sky Tree nowadays, and X still hasn't ended.
Quite the sad state of affairs.

I think I read something about XXXHolic being started with the intention of creating a sort of crossroads between all their stories so I'm not surprised it's convoluted.

They really need to explain WTF is up with the new manga series soon though. WHAT IS GOING ON.

After TRC, I just couldn't finish XXXHolic. Both of them were pretty messy by the end.

This series was great until it started fully crossing over with TRC. Then it became a hot mess. So sad because I loved it.

Yeah, I really loved xxxHolic, but even though I tried to read it along with TRC, it eventually just got too confusing. I gave it up... even though I think I was getting close-ish to the end? (The... original end? idk, I haven't followed what happened with this series after I stopped reading.)

Y'know, I was just thinking of a submitting a similar secret.

Except mine was going to be more of an angry rant about how I refuse to read the new xxxHolic manga, because the ending to the last one was so utterly terrible in every conceivable way it made me want to scream and tear out my hair and pour hot sauce on my eyeballs.

I haven't been this disgusted with the ending of a series since I read the last Narnia book when I was 10 years old.

Oh man, same here. High five?

Thirded.

Huh, now I'm kinda glad I never finished it.

Pffft fourthed.

I stopped reading this so long ago. Learning about the ending only made me feel better about quitting it early.

...this shit is still going? seriously? SERIOUSLY?

...dont' mind me. I'll just be sitting here pretending it's 2003 and X still has a chance of updating

Quit it while you're ahead! Tsubasa drags the manga down so bad, man. SO. BAD.

the first 9 volumes are great

IGNORE THE REST

Pretty much. They needed to either have Tsubasa and xxxHolic more integrated or less. I think xxxHolic ends up the worse off of the two, though, because there are so many Tsubasa-related plot points that get referenced and then never explained in any way, which is really maddening.

So I just looked it up and...Why is Yuuko back? Why is everyone kids again? What does it mean? What. D:

The new chapters are basically a "fuck you" to every fan who loved the original series.

That's why I quit reading TRC after the Tokyo arc. And have't picked up....before then? Yep.
