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.

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!

It's alright but that non-ending still makes me salty

I re-read this for the third time around after finally completing TRC so it's still pretty fresh in my mind as I write this review.

I feel like this is one of my fav CLAMP series but at the same time alot of the clients feel like just-so stories that haven't really answered any of the main mysterious questions it started with so there are a lot of loose ends. It's about Yuuko's shop and Watanuki's life but the one disappointment is that it just kinda fades out and we know that the sequel just never resolved anything either.

About shipping:

I found it funny in some ways that no one ended up together but then I feel sad that it didn't end with Watanuki x Doumeki which had SO many hints their relationship was more than friendship but so it goes. I mean I feel like if CLAMP really wanted there was no real reason for Watanuki to become immortal and they could've been together after HS. We had options.

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

Amazing

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)

Absolutely amazingly sucked

by Ibleda

Rating: 9.2 / 10.0

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.
