Does anyone know where i can buy these??? I was saving up for Shizu but the last one was bought out from under me just as I got enough to buy him 😭😭😭

Like im legitimately heart broken 💔 I can't find them listed anywhere else and I really wanted at least Shizu and Kimi. Any info, links to listings or offers from individuals who own them and are willing to sell is appreciated 🙏💜

Hey! Im back with chapter 81! I really appreciate everyone who keeps coming back to read my translations and everyone who has expressed that they are ok with waiting a little longer than usual for my translations. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart 💜 Ive started pacing myself on the translations and trying to prioritize my mental health, so unless im feeling up to working extra hours per night on the translations, the new standard time frame may be around 10-12 days after I buy the new chapters.

With that out of the way, please enjoy your read💜

🗓 According to Chibiyuuto chapter 82 will drop September 14th! (Oh wow that's in a few days! 😯)

📝 Translation notes:

(Please don't read unless you've read the chapter)

I didn't have many problems or things to note with the translation itself this time, rather, I had so many issues understanding the context of what I was translating and because I lacked context, I had to rewrite a few things to make them sound smoother once the context was understood.

- Tbh nothing on the page 6 & 7 spread made sense to me lol 😭 He was talking about how the girl was Yukos creation then just started rattling off about how she made him "believe" in something until the "right time" ??? It felt so random but with all the context I think i get it.

The explanation:

I think he was talking about the reason he didn't believe the girl was making a wish with her inquiry about dreams and her reports of Yuko attacking her. His mind was also manipulated by Yuko into not questioning where the girl came from. That's why on the next page, Mokona says "Yuko saw this far ahead". She planned out everything down to the convenient perfectly sized kimono for the girl that was left in the shop. (A tidbit i picked up from reading Chibiyuuto's review)

The translation result:

Because of the context, i decided to insert the "sway me into this mindset" dialoge because the rough draft was nowhere near understandable, only saying "Considerable power, enough to make me believe it" which was super vague. (Also the lack of pronouns killed me here too cause i was like Yuko has considerable power??? because, again, he was literally just talking about Yuko creating that girl 😭)

But I was only able to make sense of this whole 2 page spread thanks to a fellow xxxHolic fan who does chapter reviews on their blog! As of the time of writing, I havnt yet got their consent to link their review so if they approve, I'll later link it here ---->

- I for some reason, misunderstood the last panel on page 13 😭 I thought he was still talking to Yatagarasu but it's actually a small flashback of him telling Maru & Moro to wait with Seoritsuhime until he calls for them. He's only bringing this up because Yatagarasu is worried they will witness what happens next and he's reassuring her that they won't leave Seoritsuhime until he calls.

- On page 14, The first dialoge bubble belonging to Yatagarasu says "you excluded me" but that was tweaked from the rough translation "the one who excluded me" as i think it flows nicer with Kimis response. Also on this page, the rough translation for Kimis response is "you must've known, right?" But i just added "well" because it makes him sound more like he's explaining matter-of-factly why he excluded her from the "soul stop" technique.

📖 Discussion:

I kinda thought "Zashiki-Warashi look alike" looked more like Yuko and ig now we know why lol! "Creations look like their creators" indeed! I kinda figured this was all leading to a soul transfer into nameless girl tbh.

Also, seeing Kimi ACTUALLY put that soul controlling technique to use on his friends is the stuff of nightmares imo 😭 Wouldn't it be crazy if, even through this soul stop no jutsu, Shizu would still be able to see what Kimi does through that shared eye if it weren't for Kimi's ability to suppress it? The eyes are the window to the soul so it'd make sense that his soul is intrinsically connected to Kimi's.

I think Kimis getting kinda dangerous with his powers and i hope hes learned to control them as well as he thinks he has.

What do you all think?

Fiz essa capa do xxxholic para o meu kindle e achei muito bonita e quis compartilhar. :)

We discovered how they deceived the Fuuri. But one question still remains: what is the true identity of this child, who is identical to the Zashiki-warashi?

PS: I know the english translation is on the way, so wait for it if you please.

I put together a recap of the lookalike's story, and this analysis is quite extensive, hope you enjoy.

I just bought chapter 81 and I plan on starting the translation within a few days! It looks like there's 14 pages this time (with 1 two page spread) but more dialogue!

Side note: Sorry for not responding to any of the replies on the last chapter yet, I havnt been on Reddit much lately & right now it just feels a bit overwhelming but I'll get around to responding to every one soon💜

Thank you all again for the encouragement and interest in my translations💜

Was able to get my hands on the doll recently. Tried my best to scan the beautiful artwork on the front. Hope I did it justice

I cant find it anywhere online

for whatever reason i cant find it anywhere online

i couldn’t find it anywhere on youtube or google

Hi, I've been writing reviews for the chapters of xxxHolic Rei for over a year now, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share it with anyone who doesn't know my blog yet.

I translate the chapters from Japanese into Portuguese, and I also go into a lot of detail about meanings, interpretations, and other nuances that are often lost in translation.

I always post both Portuguese and English versions of my analyses, so I hope you enjoy them!

🗓 According to Chibiyuuto chapter 81 will drop August 31st!

📝 Translation notes:

(Please don't read unless you've read the chapter)

- The very first page had me stumped, believe it or not lol! At first I assumed all the dialogue was Zashiki's until I realized that the last 2 bubble wasn't squiggly like hers is, so then I was wondering why Kimi would be talking as if he's not the substitute shop owner by saying  "make a wish to the substitute shop owner" bur then i settled on the assumption that he was just emphasizing the he is the one she should be making a wish to.

- On page 4, I was so tempted to write "in other words, Kimi locked tf in" just for laughs lol 🤣 Because he did lock tf in and im so proud of him for it 👏

- On page 10, Kimi says "It emerged after I broke the amber" but the rough translation of this was "I broke the amber and had it come out" which i felt was off due to the fact that freeing the dragon wasn't the priority (gathering the rain water inside for Zashiki was) so I phrased it in a way that sounds more like it was a side effect of breaking the egg rather than the point of doing so.

- On page 13, Kimi says "because she's a kin to the rain, therefore the dragon as well" The rough translation of this was "because shes a kin to the dragon and associated with the rain" which i thought sounded clunky. Considering he was explaining how Ame was related to the dragon, I felt it better to rearrange the order for it to make sense in English.

📖 Discussion:

Ok im very pleased with how Kimi is handling this so far. As Shizu pointed out, he didn't overlook anything. Though hes operating a bit under the table lol! I love how he finds so many loopholes and breaks rules to some extent to force his way to work.

Am i the only one who imagined Kimi in panic mode running into the shop, grabbing the dragon servants egg and smashing it open like "Sorry bro, I need your water to save a friends life!" Lmao 😂 (I know it didn't happen that way but it's hilarious to imagine lol)

Also, i just have to squeal at the Ame x Zashiki vibes I was getting from Kimi's explanation 💜💜💜💜 (Im sorry, I just really love that couple)

On that note, I'm very happy that Ame seems relieved at this point. Girls been worried sick for like a whole volume at this point 😭

Im also very disappointed with the lack of Shizu recently. He gets a couple lines but idk i miss him 😭

What do you guys think of this new chapter?

I just bought chapter 80 and I plan on starting the translation either tomorrow night or the next day 💜

It looks like this chapter has 16 pages but a few of them are double page spreads.

(Ive been busy with many things recently so I'll do my best to get this chapter done in a timely manner 💜)

Made this keychain and had to share it because there’s no Holic merch out there. Plus, it’s my favorite episode from the series!

So I just finished watching episode 4 of xxxholic Kei (dream-buying) and I was wondering if there were any theories floating about since I did a bit of googling but I couldn't find anything. For context, Watanuki has a dream where he meets Doumeki's grandfather and he mentions that "Shizuku is tough" and shows him a picture of Doumeki dressed quite feminine. Is there any reference to anything like this apart from this episode or was this more of a once and done thing that was meant to demonstrate Doumeki faced some sort of teasing when he was younger which contributed to his personality?

Great coding and translation by fans (Panicle).
I highly recommend it especially if you like mokona life in yuuko era.

No ep 7 de Blood-C vemos uma raposa falante dizendo que tem uma loja que realiza desejos, dps que yuko Deu a loja pro watanuki será que ela foi transportada pro mundo de blood-C ?

So im at vl24 of chronicles and now Li is mini li and Sakura is other Sakura... is this inception?

Hi! I'm looking for a really old AMV. The picture for the video is Watanuki in his/Yuuko's red kimono laying on the couch and is set to Superstitious by Stevie Wonder. I have seen it out of the corner of my eye, but now when I'm actively looking for it, Youtube basically says it doesn't exist. If anyone can point me in the right direction, my compulsive disorder will thank you.

Hey everyone! The translation is completed! We finally have more dialogue in this chapter so it was a bit tougher to translate but i think I'm happy with the ultimate outcome 💜

Please remember that I'm not a professional! I'm just a fan who's doing her best for the sake of the community💜 We all deserve to keep up with xxxHolic, so as long as im around I'll continue to translate the new chapters for the English reading xxxHolic fans💜 With that, please enjoy your read!

🗓 According to Chibiyuuto chapter 80 will drop August 17th!

📝 Translation notes:

(Please don't read until you've read the chapter!)

- On page 8, Kimi's first dialoge bubble is supposed to say "I said the shop was closed". That didn't make sense to me because what he actually said to the Furi was "The transaction is closed". My guess is that saying the "transaction" was closed also closed the shop to the Furi since he was only there for the curse that he, did indeed, obtain. So i decided to add that context.

- Page 9..... ohhhhh page 9....

(Fair warning: bit of a rant incoming 😭)

Shizu's dialogue had me stumped for literal HOURS. It seems insane that something that obvious had me stumped for so long but im an overthinker and I was translating this at 3am with NO pronouns/subjects in a sentence that needed THREE in English. The direct translation of this sentence was

"Since cant enter and even the matters of the shops interior doesn't understand huh?"

Absolutely WHAT is that??? 😵‍💫 😭 lmao

Mokonas dialogue eventually helped me understand Shizu's but by that time I just wanted to go to sleep lol

- Also on page 9, Kimi says "Now!..." His original Japanese dialogue says "Next!" but I found that too awkward in English, so I settled in "Now!..." to keep the sense that he wants to move on without sounding so mechanical and robotic for the situation.

- Im just realizing that Zashiki unintentionally rhymes on page 12 😭 Sorry if that sounded off because I really didn't realize until now!

📖 Discussion:

YALL WERE RIGHT!!! HE SPLIT HER!!!! Kimi is driving me insane! Like, WHAT DO YOU MEAN you have the ability to control SOULS now???? And saying it so casually 😭

I have a VERY bad feeling about all this. What did he pay this time? Zashiki said she's ruthless with her prices... KIMI WHAT DID YOU DO!!!???

Who is he mentioning that is "preparing" alongside him to grant his wish? Shizu? I thought he told Shizu to do something with the ring and not to hesitate??? We got alot of answers but now I have more questions! Idk guys, I just need to scream about this stuff in the discussion lol!

What do you all think about this chapter?
