Thoughts: In CCS canon, Tomoyo does have feelings for Sakura but in NT, Wish-chan writes her with just as much devotion and leaves out the romantic aspect. I do like how Tomoyo is still envious of the relationship that S&S have, though.
Eriol recognizing Clow's sadistic humour in Fujitaka is actually pretty great.
Syaoran asking what Sakura was doing on New Year's Eve reminds me of a line from my favourite movie, The Holiday.
Even though Miho and Sakura's fantasies were in a fairy tale-esque realm, I love how NadeRyuu's was in modern-day New York.
Wish-chan's line during Ryuuren's performance about how his carefully gelled back hair was falling into his eyes was a head scratcher. So basically the gel isn't doing its job?
Nadeshiko only ran into Ryuuren because she stepped out to buy potato chips. I guess a Japanese model's diet is more lax?
I wonder how the string quarter feels about performing in front of Li Ryuuren, the famous violinist. At first I thought that anything but strings would be suitable to entertain them but then it made sense because they had to play Star Crossed together.
The commercial shoot was fun! Ryuuren's description of Nadeshiko rivals Syaoran's description of Sakura in Chapter 73.5.
There's something so poignant in that moment Nadeshiko, Ryuuren, Miara, Keisuke and Reiji all met up at the museum. Just one Reed away from assembling the circle.
NadeRyuu's New Year's Eve was so bittersweet. It was touching to see them milk every second of the experience but at the end of the day a fantasy is a fantasy.
Ryuuren: "For someone like you who always has hope in her heart, you will never be able to seal the Fantasy". Well, something must have changed because Sakura definitely seals the Fantasy in Arc 4 and that girl's always hopeful.
It wasn't until Miho started to gush about winning something at every booth that I remembered that the Fortune was out an about.
I wonder why Rika calls Terada, "Terada-sensei" despite the fact that they're dating.
Eriol piggybacks on Takashi's story about New Years Eve kisses and tells a tale about how a couple's kiss on the cheek led them to successful lives but as friends. Now that S&S have pretty much earned their spots in the magical world as of Ch 73.5, can they be together?
Fanart spotlight: Wish-chan used this Sakura in a Kimono and Syaoran fanart as a panel in her New Year's omake, I'm so glad it's also a stand alone drawing. Sakura's yutaka is so pretty and it's not often we see her dress in traditional clothes in NT. I'm glad that Wish-chan captured this sweet moment when Syaoran kissed her on the cheek... even if it was to capture the Fortune.
