xxxHolic

Hey, remember "Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle" which I previously posted? It's also one of CLAMP's production, xxxHolic! Now xxxHolic and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle has been intertwined with each other because of the crossover characters between two mangas. What's xxxHolic about? Let's scroll down for more information...

THE SUMMARY

xxxHolic centers on this young high school student named Kimihiro Watanuki who can see the spirits. Being annoyed for being plagued by spirits with a strong attraction to him due to his delicious blood. The spirits are invisible to others and encounters with them are extremely troublesome.

Watanuki's destiny and of course life changes when he happens to stumble into a house that is later revealed as a shop that grants wishes. The shop is owned by Yuko Ichihara, a mysterious beautiful witch of many names and esotoric renown, however it is a fake name.She is known as "The Dimension Witch".

Knowing Watanuki wishes to get rid of his ability to see spirits, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish. And the price according to Yuko, to be equal value or/and so to the wish she would grant. So payment, he temporarily work in Yuko's shop and help her grant other people's wishes.

During his stay at Yuko's place, he does not only cooks, cleans, and complains, but finds himself performing very odd jobs and learning more about the occult besides that dealing with the supernatural. His work is all praised by Yuko who is obsessed and satisfied!!

As the story progresses, his love interest, Himawari Kunogi, and "rival," Shizuka Dōmeki, occasionally join him in his work as per Yūko's request. The three become increasingly close despite Watanuki's annoyances with Dōmeki.

I like Yuko Ichihara. She is quite interesting character as you see, she seems has duo personalities in herself. In Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, she looks a serious and strict lady. While in xxxHolic, she looks very actively playful lady, always play prank and bully Watanuki. Different eh? But one thing about Yuko is she is too sarcsastic, annoying and bossy around people.

Ahhh! It is more interesting when it comes to some part which Watanuki always expresses irritation with various facial expressions, screaming, and arm motions that reminds Himawari of an angry cat. That makes me often laughing of loud! He is really a crazy person! Himawari also gave apron that pictured a cat onto as a present for Watanuki's birthday.

But now, I'm more curious about Watanuki. As the story progresses in the manga, I noticed that the day Watanuki stumbled into the shop is not the first time he meet Yuko. Actually he met Yuko before, the manga revealed. Who is he really? And why Syaoran has paid to Yuko in order to save Watanuki after the incident where Watanuki fell out from Level 2 at his school?

But don't ask me because I also don't know! So, just read this manga! =P
