So my long-awaited package from yesasia.com arrived today with my copy of
Forbidden City Cop (Stephen Chow rules!) and volume 10 of
The Exhibition of CLAMP's Worlds 1989-2004 (featuring
xxxHOLIC and
Legal Drug).

It comes with a white Mokona pawn, a Yuuko black queen, and a Fai black bishop collector's chess pieces. I'm now itching to collect the rest of the pieces... ^^;;; I ordered the official Chinese licensed version instead, since I can't read a lick of Japanese (ok, maybe a lick but that's not going to do much for me). Omg, the pretty pictures from both
xxxHOLIC and
Legal Drug. There are also interviews with CLAMP, which I may sit down and translate later. At the end, there's this cute little story about the two Mokonas- now that they're separated and with two different groups of people. Ever wonder if the two still talk to each other?
I think this is a story from that series of children stories based around the two Mokonas written by Ageha Ohkawa (of CLAMP). I've included the original Chinese from the magazine along with the translation under each line. Please excuse any awkward phrasings in English. The Chinese don't like using pronouns that much more than the Japanese... Note, requires some passing knowledge of both
Tsubasa and
xxxHOLIC to understand the Mokonas' discussion.
