XXXHolic 171 spoiler

[source: ikesanfromfrneore]

This chapter includes color pages.
We are back to the cooking classes and Watanuki invited the woman to Yuuko's shop, both Doumeki and Kohane are also there.
Watanuki has no memory of the taste of the food he made but his body remembers(again, body memories, this concept comes up a lot in both TRC and Holic), which allows him to continue cooking successfully...

From this point, no new chapter until January 19th 2009!

EDIT:
More comments on a jap blog: Kazami blog
And also on fairchilonrage blog

…Watanuki realizes that he has made the lady client even more confused when he admitted that he does not eat what he cooks aggravated more by the fact that she refuses to touch anything or she’ll feel disgust…

…But even without a memory, the body still thinks or remembers that’s why the cooking could be done…

…It’s not just the cooking that matters, the one who learns how to does. It’s a must to taste the food and tell what it is like…

Thanks! Nothing progress in this chapter. So we're back to the same cooking classes with that weird woman. The only thing I'm looking forward to see in this chapter is the color pages =P

lol. Yeah, Colour pages is what I am expecting to see! And isn't it strange? Watanuki's body remembers the food he tasted so that's the reason why he is so good at cooking. Though, I have never seen him eating, or does he eat?:O I can't seem to recall.

The pics links were erased ^^;;
I re-uploaded them and also added up more infos about this chapter.
Let's hope the scans will be posted online soon enough~

Thanks for the spoiler Sherry-chan!!

I'm afraid it can't be helped since it very likely got something to do with 'synchronization' between both TRC/Holic...so while we've got SyaoxSyao, we won't see much in Holic's side aha~
That said, I'm personally not complaining because I'm 1-used to it by now and 2-we already have all the essential information/revelations we need from Holic. There is nothing much to add in Holic except the link with TRC and for 'that event' to happen, whatever it is.
