Yeah, really great. I like the story because it makes you wonder what might there be, beyond the reality of everyday. Not to simplifie things here but .... well read it and have a god time.
Absolutely wonderful

xxxholic is an amazing series. CLAMP does a wonderful job of balancing the comical characters with the dark plot and as usual interjects some life lessons that everyone would do well to remember. The art keeps with the whole mysterious undertone and is refreshing in its uniqueness. It's a lot of fun to see characters from past series too. This is definitely a series I would recommend to CLAMP fans (and most shoujo fans), although perhaps not to people who dislike unhappy (or unconventional) endings.
This is a very good manga and it shouldn't be rated 1/10 by ANYBODY, even CLAMP haters.
Once again, CLAMP pulls off another great manga. I love xxxHOLiC, as I love most other clamp manga. Here's hoping that they keep up the good work!

If you want to know what is on the other side of the "witches" life.. You must read this.

already I know her from tsubasa.. But I find the stories to get very repetitive even though they are different. I always love how dark it can Get. Very intelligent. I'm still confused on his tie to everything though
Love it

I love this manga. Though, I did read the ending and didn't realize that was the last chapter :'(
Yuuko is awesome and the art (CLAMP of course) is amazing. With all the detail, the art was perfect. The story is amazing, I admit, i would have to reread a couple times to understand the meaning and yuuko's sayings. I would watch the anime and feel like I'm in another world or something. Supernaturally awesome!..ah that was kinda lame.
But anyways, This was one of my favorite mangas and I would recommend it to anyone who are deep thinkers or are interested in the supernatural or just anyone in general

It's a really lovely manga - the art is tranquil, detailed, fluid and elegant. The main character of Yuuko Ichihara is very lilkable, as she is a strong female lead with plenty of enough complexity. The rest of the characters also follow a comprehensive journey and characterizations, and the overall stories that follow are authentic, mysterious and original. You also really get true questions on the daily aspects of life and morality.
And yes, there is a healthy hint of good quality comedy.
It is also recommened to those who enjoy anything paranormal. The first chunk of the series deals with spirits, from the benevolent to the malevolent, ghost stories to real hauntings, and it is quite interesting.
That being said though, the plot does go slightly downhill after a little while. It starts off quite strong, but then some aspects felt...a little watered down, or stretched out, if that makes any sense. First you start with the spiritial side, the human growth, the mystical side, Yuuko dealing with her clients, to parts of the plot that seem to try too hard. It's strange, and hard to explain.
Nevertheless, it is a highly recommended read. For the ending, you will either feel content with it or feel like something is missing/rushed/a little sad (It's up to you on how you will want to feel)

I went wtf when I finished reading... They lost me more than once during the whole thing, but at the end they completely lost me. I had no idea whats going on...
Honestly, it's not a bad manga by any means, it's an absolutely amazing manga, but still... it sucks. Too many things left unexplained, too many gaps that made me lost sense of timeflow, and just damn f***ing confusing. But... I still love it. Let's just say I lost the ability to think with this manga. It's great, for no reason. Thinking about it now, although it sucks, both the ending and everything else is probably the most fitting for this manga; but it still sucks.
I didn't read TRC although I did watch the anime version years ago. Pretty much forgot most of it, and couldn't bring myself to read the manga. Plus... I skipped more than a few chapters in xxxHolic too, I did watch everything from anime though. That may had been the reason I didn't understand alot of xxxHolic.

well, previously i was shocked that the series ended without me knowing. but after re-reading i realised that i wasn't reading close enough to understand what they were actually saying. i can finally come to terms with the ending.. but it could have ended better, that's for sure.
