Thoughts: I read this chapter at the heels of finishing Chapter 73, Part 2 where the NYC modeling experience was mentioned as something that happened three years ago. It's a lot of fun to go back and read it all over again.
As stupid as Eriol's prank was, I'm immensely pleased that it ended with him giving Syaoran wings to match Sakura's own wings courtesy of The Fly card.
The snowball scene was so fluffy. It seems like a scene straight from an anime.
I'm glad that the fact that Syaoran didn't meet up with the people his mother wanted him to see was addressed because it could have been a loose thread. How convenient that his modeling contract covered the credit card bill.
I forgot why Miho was so nasty to Sakura in Arc I. But now I understand that she had been extremely jealous oh her this whole time. This is where we learn about Miho's tragic back story.
Shing thinking back to Mizuki Miara in a lovey-dovey way is everything when we take in consideration of what we know now.
On the park bench, Syaoran says, “The deal is I li—“ before Sakura interupts him. These two are hopeless when it comes to confessions.
First mention of The Plague! When Wish-chan wrapped up Arc 3 she said she had many plot points planned out since the beginning. I read many different fan opinions of what Nadeshiko died from. But no one can match Wish-chan's interpretation.
Sakura forgetting Kero-chan in New York is a hilarious way to end the arc.
Fanart spotlight: Professional artist scribbletalk went above and beyond when she created her Angel Wings masterpiece. It's everything that we pictured the scene to be. As far as Arc 1 fanarts go, this one is definitely my favourite.
Sakura forgetting Kero-chan was the funniest thing in the chapter.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Shing had any drawings of Miara. I laughed though when he spoke of her and the first thing he says is how she had beautiful hair. Now we know where Kai gets his hair obsession from. Lol
I haven't reached Kai's first appearance but I wonder what he saw Meilin whacking Miho on the head. Do you think that other than causing his usual mischief Eriol was keeping an eye out for Sakura and the crew? He seems to know that the twins are the Dark Ones.
“Bye Syaoran!” Miho boldly kissed his cheek good-bye. When Syaoran blushed, Sakura glared at him. Meanwhile, Meirin whacked Miho on the head.
For a moment, Eron’s malicious golden eyes met Eriol’s calm, yet deadly sea blue ones. Eron was the first to look away, perspiring heavily.
“Hurry,” Erika persisted, her heart skipping a beat. We’ve rather been neglected on this trip, onii-chan.
It was important to stay low-key, my twin. We couldn’t do anything to look suspicious. Not with Clow Reed’s reincarnation around, Eron replied
Honestly, I think Kai was wrapped up with his own affairs and concentrating on those with power so didn't really notice Meilin until he kidnapped her in Arc 2. Then it was her firey personality that intregued him and stole his heart!
