Description

Kimihiro Watanuki is haunted by spirits - and the only way for him to escape his curse is to become the indentured servant of the mysterious witch Yuko Ichihara. But when Kimihiro's beloved, beautiful Himawari-chan, asks him for a favour, he and his eternal rival, the exorcist Domeki, must go on a spirit-busting adventure without Yuko there to save them! Meanwhile, Yuko gives a young woman a precious cylindrical box from her treasure room. There's just one caveat: she must never open it. Inside is a magical device with a terrifying reputation! Can Kimihiro save an ambitious young lady from her own overconfidence? "xxxHOLiC" crosses over with Clamp's other hit series, "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE"!

  • This one is certainly my favorite volume of the series so far. The Monkey's Paw has always been an urban legend which gives me the chills and this manga did the tale justice. Some of my favorite parts were Mokona dust beating the rugs with Fai's magic staff and Watanuki wearing persocome ears. It's always fun to actually get the inside joke. Also, Domeki is an interesting character. He seems so flat most of the time, but you know there has got to be more to him. I'll certainly be reading on with this series.

  • Volume 3 of xxxHolic has two stories. In the first, Doumeki and Watanuki investigate a school where supernatural things have been occuring due to students obsession with something like a ouija board. In the second story, a woman aquires a scroll from Yuko which contains a monkey's paw which will grant 5 wishes, one for each finger, but with every wish comes some misfortune. I particularly like the monkey hand story, which is a nice dark story. It suffers a little from not really having any of the xxxHolic characters in it other then a little Yuko and Watanuki wandering around worrying vaguely. This volume also has the first bit of the fox udon stuff in, which is incredibly sweet.
