Magnificent!

Okay...Clamp rules.Their art is spectacular and their stories are brilliant. This series ties in with the Tsubasa series and is a bit more complex than any of their prior works. It's no light read but is still a great book.

xxxholic - can't wait for the anime!

this is a great manga and i really enjoyed this volume. the anime is about to be realeased in Japan so i can't wait to start watching too!

What a suprise!

Just got my issue of xxxHolic #5 in the mail and all I can say is "Wow!". Not only do we get more well written stand alone supernatural stories with subtle character developments, we are also treated to a HUGE leap forward in the xxxHolic story with the biggest suprise this series has revealded and I never would have guessed: There's a bad guy! What started out as the usual strange ghost/monster/spirit storyline turned into something much larger (maybe global?) that is literally eating people's souls and what's more, we see Yuko take a stand and use her powers to fight what the villian is doing and add extra meaning to all those butterflies we see in all the previous xxxHolic pictures (go ahead, have a look! No we know what they are... kind of). There's also a subtle piece of info regarding the black Mokona (he has two stomaches!) and a crossover with CLAMP's other new work Legal Drug #2 as well as lots of talk and some mailing of a gift to the Tsubasa team and some Valentine's Day vengeance! Great art. Suprising story. Buy it now. Seriously. This series rocks!
