When Watanuki asks Yko to remove his ability to see spirits, she grants it on the condition that he pay for his wish by working for her. Clamp created xxx.

March 2. 01. 0. It then moved to Bessatsu Shnen Magazine in June 2. February 2. 01. 1. The manga is published in tankbon volumes under the KC Deluxe label a total of nineteen volumes have been released. It is currently published in the United States by Del Rey Manga and in the United Kingdom by Tanoshimi. In 2. 00. 5, Production I. G adapted the manga into an animated film, which was followed by two anime television series, and various original video animations OVAs. Funimation licensed the film and the first TV series in North America, and released both of them in DVD as well as Blu ray Disc. A light novel and a video game have also been released based on the series. The manga has been well received by both Japanese and English readers and has appeared in various rankings of bestselling books. Critics have generally praised the series for its illustrations and its portrayal of supernatural elements. Kimihiro Watanuki is a high school student plagued by ykai and ayakashi spirits, both of which are invisible to everyone else but him. The series begins when Watanuki stumbles, seemingly by chance, into a shop that grants wishes. The shop is owned by Yko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanukis wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yko, must be of equal value so, as payment, he must become Ykos temporary, part time cook and housekeeper. While his established job consists of household chores, Yko increasingly sends him on errands of a supernatural or spiritual nature as the series develops. Himawari Kunogi, Watanukis love interest, and Shizuka Dmeki, a classmate whom Watanuki initially detests, occasionally join him in his work as per Ykos request. The three become increasingly close, and though Watanuki is often annoyed with Dmeki, he grows to value the new friendships he makes and his life at the wish shop. At the same time, though, he begins to worry about Yko, wondering if she who grants wishes to others ever has anything to wish for herself. Eventually, he makes a promise to try and grant her a wish, should she have one. With each supernatural encounter, Watanuki becomes more familiar with and connected to the spiritual world. A crossing plotline with the concurrent series Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle reveals that Yko is actually on the verge of death, and she is only alive now because her personal time was accidentally frozen long ago by the powerful wizard Clow Reed. As the magic binding her in time begins to dissolve, Ykos ability to maintain the shops magical existence fades, and she eventually passes on, telling Watanuki that he will finally be free of his ability to see demons. However, Watanuki chooses to retain his ability to see spirits in order to maintain Ykos shop and take over her role of shopkeeper. Further cross over plotlines reveal that Watanuki was born as a result of a wish to turn back time by a shop client, Syaoran of Tsubasa. Since Syaoran was able to go back in time at the cost of being removed from his timeline and becoming imprisoned by the sorcerer Fei Wang Reed, Watanuki was born to replace the void in timespace Syaoran left behind, and thus while they are different people, they share an existence. As the series reaches its conclusion, Syaoran and Watanuki become trapped in a void by Fei Wang and must pay a price to become free and continue existing. While Syaoran decides to keep traveling through dimensions, never stopping in a single place, Watanuki chooses to stay inside the shop and act as its owner, granting wishes until the day he sees Yko again. As time progresses, Watanuki continues working in the shop without aging. Dmeki, his assistant, frequently visits him, and the tradition continues with Dmekis descendants. After 1. 00 years pass, Watanuki has a dream of Yko, who tells him that he has finally become powerful enough to leave the shop. Despite this, he decides to continue waiting inside the shop for the day that they meet again. Productioneditxxx. Holic was conceived when the group Clamp wanted to link the supernatural and fantasy series they made with a realistic one. This idea was further worked with the creation of the character of Yko Ichihara who would bridge the stories from xxx. Holic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Clamp proposed the idea of writing xxx. Holic to Young Magazine after Chobits. In the end they decided to publish both xxx. Holic and Tsubasa in weekly magazines to make serialization easier. The mangas title was originally going to be addicted but it was changed for the less ambiguous holic. Like Clamps previous work Tokyo Babylon, xxx. Holic focuses on social pathologies but with a more esoteric tone. The xxx before the holic is the Japanese way of saying of fill in the blank. Therefore, the title itself gives a hint about what the series are about. It is talking about the people with the problems such as an alcoholic, or a workaholic. Being a fantastical series, these holics can have very different pathologies. The art style of the manga draws on the influence of ukiyo e wood prints. When making a chapter composed of about twenty pages, Clamp takes around two days to make the artwork, the time differing with the ones from other series they made. The script of the series made by Nanase Ohkawa, who the other Clamp members ask her about any confusion they have before starting drawing the chapters. The illustrations and character designs are mainly done by Tsubaki Nekoi with assistance from Mokona although Satsuki Igarashi also draws various parts. For the series, they decided to use Japanese and Chinese themes, but avoided using tones. Mokona is mainly in charge of designing the female characters, while Nekoi draws the male ones and all the spirits featured. The artwork is also inspired by Alphonse Mucha who Mokona is a fan of. This leads to all the tankobon covers being gold or silver and then color printed over it. The series was retitled xxx. Holic R ever since volume 1. Watanuki replaced Yuko as the shops owner. When first presenting the idea of running xxx. Dantes Hell Animated 2. IMDb.
