The huge difference is, those shows were AIMED at otaku men but CCS is aimed at young girls.. That's why CCS yuri won't happen. Young girls like watching anime with girlxboy ships. At least most of them lol

CLAMP writes LGBTQ content in their manga all the time. Even CCS has Touya and Yukito as a canon gay couple. CLAMP isn't going to write Tomoyo and Sakura as a canon couple because that's not the story they want to tell and they're not going erase relationships to appease a very small minority of fans.

Why do people think CLAMP is going to tie CCS into Tsubasa and make it dark and edgy? I don't understand this paranoia from fans about the sequel when it's done nothing to warrant it.

nd the way how slow the romance between these two are, especially in the manga version

while it is a LESS THAN A 5% CHANCE, its still possible.

for at times and for some series, its usually the impossible and the most illogical scenario that actually happens!

They're thirteen! Both have already confessed in the previous series/movies and they are dating in a G-rated manner, like how kids their age should.
I hope you're not expecting sex. lol

and if those rumors from some japanese fan clamp forums are correct and yukio from xxholic makes a cameo in later eps, OH BOY THAT WOULD SET THEM OFF!!

Lol dude, it isn't possible even as .001%. You're deluding yourself.

This would be like Naoko deciding to rewrite Sailor Moon and pairing Usagi with Rei.

It doesn't matter how big the ship fanbase is; manga-ka in Japan will do what they've decided from the beginning.

Um any examples besides male-demographic yuri bait shows?

With Illya and Kodomo no Jikan, anythings possible.

Tomoyo was always in love with Sakura, sure. LGBT-couples happen in Clamp series, sure.
But SakuraxTomoyo is ridiculous. I have no doubt that Tomoyo would go for it if she felt it would make Sakura happiest. In the original manga, she said something along the line of "for me, happiness is seeing the one I love most happy". She would totally go for a relationship, but she'd never push for one, and she'd never push against Shaolan as Sakura's partner.

Also, Sakura herself shows 0 interest in Tomoyo, or girls in general on a romantic level. Reading her cute, over the top friendship displays as yuri-bait says more about the audience than about her.
And Tomoyo knows this! She knows her best friend, and she knows how it ended for her mother, who she obviously mimics.

I also can't imagine Clamp being influenced by modern shonen/seinen magical Girl. Clear Card doesn't support this at all. That's not to say Clamps magical girl series are always 100%fluff, Rayearth was a bloody mess in the end.

It's worth mentioning that there were some odd choices in the dialogue this week, although that may be due to how the subtitles chose to word things. The two cases that stand out are Akiho saying that she's never had anyone over to her new house and Sakura asking Akiho if she's ever worn a dress. These are weird because Sakura and Tomoyo were just at Akiho's house two episodes ago (which they acknowledge), and Akiho is wearing a dress when Sakura asks the question.
