Chapter 3: Of Ghosts and Statues and Quarrels




Release Date: Fall or winter 1999

Word count: 5212


Thoughts: My first thought about reading this chapter was how heavily influenced by the CCS anime and manga it was, which makes sense because it was still ongoing at the time Wish-chan released NT. Soon NT would branch out and grow roots in a universe of its own while still staying true to the source material but nowhere near relying as heavily on it. 

Though I'm not a fan of Jealous!Meilin (especially after the progress she made in the anime), I understand why she reverted to her old self. Sakura being out of the picture gives her a chance. I'm glad she at least questions her actions.

It's so unbelievably wild that The Veil is introduced in this chapter but isn't dealt with until Arc 4. It's not often that we see Eron concoct spells. Hmm, he has a crystal ball. I wonder if that magical item would have more mentions! 

Heh heh, "Bad Sakura" snapped at Syoaran. I don't think she makes a comeback until the Cohabitation, Part Deux chapters also in Arc 4.

Fanart spotlight: With the exception of a drawing of The Haunt, there is no specific fanart for this chapter. So a sketch of Syaoran upsetting Sakura by Wish-chan was a good pick.
