I just think that this is an amazing stroy, with so many great characters and beautiful art!
The main character is lame. Everything thing about this manga is stupid
But hey if your a ditsy airhead who likes to believe in fate and that everyone has a purpose, this manga is for you. (this is probably why it's so popular)
I don't know why i even bothered to read it though, i must have been really bored....it's about as bad as tsbuasa chronicles. But hey! if your a clamp fan, this manga is definitly for you

xxxHOLiC makes off the feeling of reading an ancient piece of beautiful artwork and story only found in ancient japanese screens...
An exotic and masterful, I rank it as a must-read! :D

This is probably my favorite CLAMP manga, and I've read a lot of CLAMP's other series. Like Aoie_Emesai said, the main character Watanuki is funny, yet has a serious backstory. In this manga you can't expect a continuous storyline. There are no known villains and no known goal. The purpose of the story is to slowly understand Watanuki and those around him through what they face in their daily (and fantastic) life. One thing that I particularly enjoy about this manga is that CLAMP constantly uses myths and legends as part of the storyline. Please check out this manga, you'll probably enjoy it!
This is a very good manga and it shouldn't be rated 1/10 by ANYBODY, even CLAMP haters.
I like clamp as much as the next person, and I only find very few of Clamp's work to a good deal. XXXHolic is a very intresting and funny. XXXHolic is much a very serious story, but like Fruity Basket, Clamp puts a totally hilarious character as the main character, with a serious stroy. Watanuki by far is my favorite character of all time, He is pretty much your most developing character with the condition much like Hideki from Chobits, though Watanuki is much less perverted. Being trapped with Yuko, the crazed miser woman that pratically has Watanuki on lease till death. Watanuki often face real life problem with the twist of the supernatural to add in the total danger he faces every chapter. I often find that is non succeding relationship with Himawari, is really the best joke in the manga. His overly exxagerated fuss with Domeki is another plus to the story. Clamp pulls it off again with another great manga, other then Chobits, Tsubasa and Angelic Layers. I really enjoy the clever and snide remarks Yuko always say and do to Watanuki. The mystery this story presents are pretty much all supernatural are very ingenious to the normal readers, and it also presents the readers with mysterious objects of all culture. XXXHolic is a very good manga overall.
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!
