Hi! Do you mean new series? If so, I'm not sure, but I do know there is a new volume coming out for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles next month and a new one coming soon for XxxHolic. Not sure what else is upcoming for them.

You're welcome. Sorry, not Andrew. It is actually an amalgamation of my first and last name.

I'm here LOL. This thread is kind of slow. Just curious, has anyone else noticed the similarities between the storyline for Legal Drug and xxxholic? I just read Legal Drug last night and it reminded me a lot of xxholic.

It is certainly the same neighborhood since Watanuki* went to their store to get Yuko's hangover remedy. I wish they would get back to the story. There are so many hints of what's going on, but no answers. I don't think we have enough info to evaluate the intentions of the drug store proprietor, but I get what you mean about the similarities. I hadn't noticed before. I like the brief interaction with Suki in book 3.

Hi lily2124. I only drop by now and then, if there's a conversation going on.

* You know it is time for a reread when you have to grab a book to verify a character's name.

7: Funny you should mention that -- Volume 10 of CLAMP no Kiseki covers both xxxHOLIC and Legal Drug, and the intro to the section on Legal Drug notes a number of similarities between the two.

It's been a while since I've read Legal Drug; might have to give that series another go-through. They're both good, but personally, I still like xxxHOLIC better (of course, that's probably at least a little bit because of Yuko ;)).

well Tsubasa is a mix of some of CLAMP's books so you may see some bits of their other books in some of their books .Am I making any sense?

>8 trollsdotter: That's a great bit of trivia, I didn't realize that was where Watanuki got the hangover remedy from! (I spend a lot of time having to go back and check names as well, so don't feel bad.)

I've now finished Legal Drug volume 2 and am waiting for 3 to come in from Amazon. I guess that they kind of left off after that one. I hope they get back to it maybe after they're done with Tsubasa/xxxHolic since I'm really enjoying the story.

>9 MadLudwig: I've been looking at the different volumes of the CLAMP no Kiseki but haven't picked any up yet. That might have to be the one I try to get first!! Those are the ones with the chess pieces, right?

>10 lily2124: I know what you mean. Tsubasa was the first Clamp story I tried and part of that was because I read a review that said it was kind of a showcase for all sorts of different characters from their other series. I figured it would be a pretty good introduction.

edited to add Actually, Chobits was my first. I had forgotten about that, but I started Tsubasa right after reading the first couple Chobits volumes.

Couldn't help myself and ordered no Kiseki Volume 10 off of Amazon.

Legal Drug 3 came yesterday and I started reading it before I had my coat off after getting home from work. Now I'm really hoping they decide to continue with the series...I can't believe they just left it like that!

Geh. Sorry. Let's try this again....

>12 Jenson_AKA_DL: Enjoy CnK. Very nice book, and I was personally pleased to discover that one of the pieces for Volume 10 was Yuko (Queen, naturally :) ).

It'd be great if CLAMP picked up Legal Drug again, I agree. Of course, there's a couple of other series of theirs I'm waiting for more of -- Clover and X/1999 are still on hiatus...

I started XXXHolic the Other day and I really like it! :P

>15 lily2124: I'm glad you like it! When I first started reading it, it was only because of the crossover with Tsubasa. But, after reading the first few volumes I really started enjoying the series on its own merits. Watanuki always cracks me up :-)

>14 MadLudwig: I've been avoiding starting X/1999 because I knew they have kind of left it in limbo. I only wound up with Legal Drug because of a lucky BookMooch. I hate being left hanging!
