I read up through the end of volume 9 of xxxHOLiC. Does Watanuki EVER get a clue regarding Doumeki? The man is practically standing there waving the stoic seme flag that reads "I love you and will protect you with my life even though I am allergic to expressing my emotions in any way other than torturing you". Actually you probably couldn't fit that on a flag. But still.

Anyone know how far Tokyopop has released xxxHOLiC, btw? I probably wouldn't pay money for it, but I might go read it in the bookstore if there's more that hasn't been scanlated yet.

On an only vaguely tangential point, I really need to stop wasting my money on manga when there's so much of it available for free online. ^^;;
