Yayyy, the colour pages! thank you Yami-san
Here are the small preview which Chibi uploaded hehe










You know what confused me? The last colour page shows Watanuki's mismatched eye is actually brown and green Isn't it supposed to be brown and blue

Thanks for the chapter...
and You're right Hatsu's bride, his eye color isnt the same, sometimes he has two blue eyes, sometimes one blue and one brown and now brown and green.... I've never understood why the color change everytime

Wow.. that was quick! thank you so much YamiSakura and...Hatsu's BrideXD
The coloured pages is so pretty . And.. why on Earth Watanuki's mismatched eye is now brown and green??

The 'brown' eye is actually meant to be golden in color, or so I always thought, like many others colored pictures of Watanuki...as for the 'green' one, well, I've got no explanation for that one ^^; Reminder of his SxS parents?
As for Clamp, it seems like they are trying to buy our pardon for leaving us a month without Holic with 4 color pages...

Franky-House english scanlation right here

Thanks Cutesherry for the links!

Okay, the mismatched eye thing confuses me.............

I think that it was adorable how Watanuki said that eating what you made yourself is a way of knowing yourself. Really makes you think, don't it?

I think it's just the lighting on the page. His eyes are always blue and gold in the onemanga scanlations that I read. But that whole scan has an earthy feel to it, if you haven't noticed. From Yuuko's kimono, to the hardwood floor, and even the panels, the walls, and the smoke, so Watanuki's eyes are that color to match the mood. That's my opinion. ^^

The color can be bluish-greenish, maybe Clamp ran out of that bright blue color?

But I like what Watanaki said about how cooking reflects yourself and how to know yourself, it's true, In more ways than one! ^.^ You would put more salt or sugar if you like things sweet or sour, or maybe you had a bad day, the food might turn out not as great as usual.

But I'm surprised, no text on the last page of the chapter, there usually is something along the side of the page or under the last picture.

Whoohoo! Go Watanuki! Although I do wonder what it is that the woman is hiding.

I was wondering about the weird non-matching mis-matched eyes too xD I think I'll go with what Tenshi-san said, with the whole earthy, natural vibe that the color pages were showing ^___^ I like the idea of showing yourself in cooking, it really makes sense considering how I always add a little extra sugar to something sweet and how everyone says that food always tastes better when you've made it :) I wonder, will anything happen after Kohane-chan and Himawari enter the kitchen? The customer's giving off very strange vibes for me >.> And has anyone noticed how Yuuko-like Watanuki sounded in this chapter? xD
