I recently read Skip Beat! vol. 21 and xxxHolic vol. 16. Both were good, as usual. It's good tthat Skip Beat! has gotten back to Kyouko's acting. I always enjoy seeing her work through the challenges she encounters when creating a character. In xxxHolic, Watanuki's character has changed. He's more serious and... wise. I guess there was a time skip there, but... I dunno, it just seemed kind of sudden. Maybe his new responsibility changed him, I don't know. Still interesting, though. It's gone back to the more serial nature that characterized the beginning, but it has a darker tone.
And, oh, yeah, there was another chapter of 7 Seeds recently. Amazing as always. Though it was pretty easy to predict what would happen. Oh, well, I don't think Tamura really expected it to be a secret, anyway.
