In the latest issue, something BIG happens to both the plot and the series as a whole. I dare not spoil the details now, please see spoiler if you wish.

Unbelievable. Without any prior notice they announced that the series is coming to an end in the last page of the latest issue. I can't describe how shocked I am now (cry...)

Anyway, let us hope the new series Gate 7 will be even better than xxxHolic. I wish you all the best with the new boss, Clamp.
