It’s up at CLAMP No Lumiere =)
This was a pretty vain chapter. With the exception of Ioryogi and Ginsei’s true shapes(‘ shadows) and the appearance of a new character, nothing else happened.
Seems like Ioryogi already figured out that Kobato is in love with Fujimoto, and so he wonders what she would do about it when she finds out. I think this could be referring to the “rule” that she can’t fall in love with anyone? This was how the story of “Kobato (Temporary)” was first advertised in Sunday GX’s website, but it was since NEVER mentioned in the manga anything about it. So this could be related to that pseudo-mentioned “rule”.
Ioryogi and Ginsei’s true forms!!!! I was right then, their true forms ARE human! And they look so great *-*
Upon looking that scene I realized something. Ginsei says “Iorogi” and we can see the shadow of his true form, while Ioryogi says “Kobato” and we see his true form. Could CLAMP be giving us any clues or is it just a coincidence? Could it be that what Ioryogi feels for Kobato is the same that Ginsei feels for Ioryogi? Ioryogi falling in love with Kobato? No? Personally I think it’s just a mentor-student relationship, but it’s something to think about xD
Lastly, we have a new character! New characters are always so exciting. He seems so gentle, and like Keiichi from X xD And he calls Fujimoto by his first name, too (which surprises Kobato xD). Looks suspicious. Could they be childhood friends? Also, could he be the next person Kobato heals? Dying to know more about him like, HIS NAME, LOL
And why is Fujimoto acting so cold on Kobato? Did he realize her feelings for him?

This chapter was epic >__>; Ioryogi and Ginsei’s true forms looks awesome xD I wonder why they are in their animal forms right now….. ;;
I thought Fujimoto was acting so cold to Kobato because he saw Kobato with this other guy xD;; obviously I`m wrong after your great explanation^^

I think because they don’t wanna draw attention ^^ They must look human, yeah, but their looks might be different than normal humans.

When Tsubasa and xxxholic end, I’m sure CLAMP will focus more on kobato (I hope *O*).

If Newtype gives them more pages, they sure will! (14 pages is just cruel)

For all I know, Newtype has always 14 pages of manga in every issues. I don’t think they can give any more to Kobato. But if they can move it to another magazine (Shônen Ace or something) the chapters could have more pages.
But with the anime coming soon, you bet they’ll let it in an animation magazine and get paid to advertise their anime instead of paying for ads. ^_~

Definitely. I don’t see Kobato. moving out of Newtype either, with the anime coming is just a perfect combination to have manga + anime info in the same magazine.
And Newtype will hardly give CLAMP more than 14 pages.

For Fujimoto’s coldness, wasn’t he avoiding the new guy who called out to him better then Kobato herself?
And yeah, after a 2 months wait, this chapter is just not enough ^^;;; We are moving at a very slow pace with Kobato -__-

Hum, but the new guy yelled “Kiyokazu, wait!” after Fujimoto turned around. But yeah, he could be running from him. It’s really ambiguous.

The chapter performed its due task, to give a glimpse of Ioryogi and Ginsei’s true forms, I wonder who this new character is, maybe an older brother or something. To plainly call him by his first name and no honorific.

Ah Thank you so much for putting up these scans!! I first found out about clamp when I watched the American version of the CCS anime, which at the time I loved. When I watched the japanese episodes I loved it even more and since then have read other CLAMP works. Last year, around this time I was trying to find Kobato scans and it led me to your website. and I really want to say thanks because you and other team members of clamp no lumiere do a really great job and give people like me the opportunity to enjoy CLAMP works! 🙂

Nice work, as always from CnL. ^^
Maybe Fujimoto’s being cold because he’s afraid of letting Kobato become too close to him? He seems like the sort who has been hurt a lot in the past and isn’t willing to trust people, but in this case, Kobato got close within him realizing it and he’s wary.
LikeLike
But i think kobato showed him that she is in fact trust worthy (e.g. standing infront of sayaka when the yakuza came to the school; finding a home for the kitten; helping the dude with the appendix; not telling her boss okiura’s message because fujimoto told her not to).
I agree that fujimoto might have reacted that way because he realized she has feelings for him, but i don’t think it’s an issue of trust. He did turn back when he heard the commotion; what if his reaction is because of blondie? i think, not sure though, that okiura once called fujimoto by his first name…what if blondie is associated with okiura?

I was thinking that Fujimoto is afraid to trust people. Even though he does trust Kobato, he’s afraid to let people understand him because he’s been hurt because of that.

Has he been hurt? I know Sayaka has, and her father too.
LikeLike
Erk… speculation on my part, given the way he acts. So far, Fujimoto comes across to me as someone who doesn’t trust people easily, and that might be because he’s wary of people hurting him and the people he cares about (i.e. Sayaka, Sayaka’s father).

Hmm, there’s no coincidence in this world only hituzen XD but i was thinking and, maybe, just maybe, fujimoto is well, i don’t know, is starting to feel something new for this lovely girl named kobato. And Ioryogi… well, he loves kobato of course but in a mentor-student’s way, but this is CLAMP, you never know. XDDD
thanks like always!
