Dammit, CLAMP, you really are determined to make the ending of Tsubasa Chronicle impossible for me to understand without also having read the entirety of xxxHolic, aren't you?
But I don't want to read xxxHolic. I read the first two volumes back in 2004, and was bored to tears by it. So I dropped it cold. And yes, I understand that Tsubasa occassionally crosses over with xxxHolic, but up until volume 18-ish, these crossovers were done in completely innocuous, you-can-totally-ignore-this-if-you-want-to way. Like Yuuko's Valentine's Day gifts. Not exactly essential to the plot of Tsubasa, but kind of fun for fans who are reading both series to recognize.
But noooooo, now you had to go and make the crossover material essential reading.
I don't want to have to read a manga series that I don't like in order to be able to follow the ending of a manga series that I *do* like. I thought that manga usually didn't indulge in this infuriating crossover muckity muck.
