Xxxholic 5

by William Flanagan; Clamp


Review this book!

This is the third volume in a shojo manga (female-oriented Japanese graphic novel) series by the popular author/artist collective known as CLAMP, chronicling the adventures of magic shop proprietor Yűko and her much put-upon servant Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student who sees spirits. Watanuki is reluctantly paired with his rival Dômeki as they investigate a haunted school. Next, in a nod to a classic British short story, Watanuki is unable to convince a confident graduate student that she risks becoming cursed by the wish-granting monkey's paw she found in Yűko's shop. And finally, Watanuki encounters a great cook and gains a new young friend when he visits a food stall run by fox spirits. As in the previous two volumes, the storyline crosses over with another CLAMP title, TSUBASA. The black-and-white art in this series remains consistently lush and somewhat stylized. The book reproduces the original Japanese right-to-left orientation, and contains a four-page color insert as well as short guides to Japanese honorifics and cultural references used in the text.

Publisher Notes

Kimihiro Watanuki is haunted by spirits–and the only way to escape his curse is to become the indentured servant of the mysterious witch, Yûko Ichihara. But when his beloved, beautiful Himawari-chan, asks him for a favor, he and his eternal rival, the exorcist Dômeki, must go on a spirit-busting adventure without Yûko there to save them!
Meanwhile Yûko gives a young woman a precious cylindrical box from her treasure room. There’s just one caveat: She must never open it. Inside is a magical device with a terrifying reputation! Can Kimihiro save an ambitious young lady from her own overconfidence?

See a special appearance by the characters of Tsubasa in xxxHOLiC volume three! Don’t miss it!
