Almost. The newest volume of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle should be out now, but I can't find it at any of my bookstores. Guess I'll have to wait.
On the plus side, I do have every English volume of XXXHolic that's out. That's right; I'm up to volume 12.
And yes, much like Tsubasa, XXXHolic is now much darker, but also much more engrossing. There isn't anything quite as "HO LEE FUCK!"-ish as the "Acid Tokyo" arc of TRC, but CLAMP has yet again hooked me hook, line, and sinker. This has gotta be what, the third time they've done that? Hmm, I still haven't read the manga version of Chobits . . .
But in Holic, a new recurring character has surfaced. A girl named Kohane. She's my favorite character. I won't go into detail why (for then I'd be going into spoiler territory), but Kohane-chan will intrigue you.
The next volumes of Holic, TRC, and FMA for that matter won't come out until 2009. And I can't think of any other manga series I want to collect, aside from maybe the original Battle Angel series. And Nausicaa, but I'll only collect that when I feel like reading it again. My bookcase is stocked now! I'll be prepared in case of an apocalypse. I'll have plenty of reading material!
P.S. Sakura-hime appears in volume 12 of XXXHolic. She is so pretty. Then again, I'm not surprised.
