I sadly cannot remember much from these 3 volumes I read or the anime. Must reread!!
It has been ages since I've read xxxHolic volume 1, but Yuuko definitely made an impression on me as a character. As with everything Clamp does, the characters are ridiculously pretty, both in traditional and non-traditional ways. Yuuko is an awesome female lead. She's strong, beautiful, and powerful. She's a witch (No, really. Well...sometimes that, too.) who will help the people who find her shop, but all Yuuko's gifts come with a price. Watanuki is a young man who is beset by just about everything. Awkward, klutzy, and plagued by ghosts, he happens upon Yuuko and her shop. Yuuko makes him an offer, and the price entails a great deal more than Watanuki could imagine.
xxxHolic does tie in with Tsubasa and you will get the bigger picture by reading both, but it can also be read alone.
But, hello, why deny yourself the crazy awesomeness that is Clamp?

Review of the whole series.
I saw the anime from time to time a while back ago, and it stole my attention. So when I read the mangga, I wasn't suprised that I really enjoy the art graphics. Also the content of japanesse old culture thingy, the non-human characters, and the foods (which Watanuki cooked). Other than that, for me the stories was quite good too, not just demons hunter spirits chaser kind of thing, but it had some deeper meaning too, i.e. to take responsibility of the choices you made, to grow up, what the meaning to have good friends, to be happy and so on. It so sad in volume 16, when Watanuki decided to take store, but hey... he accepted it and was happy to be doing it, so life goes on. No regret! *wipe a tear*
It connects to other CLAMP's stories, like Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicles. I have seen most of CCS anime (love it, Sakura-chan and Li Syaoran is really cute) and some episodes of TRC (don't really get the story) ***of course you idiot, you only saw it like 5 times*** :X
From what I remember, the anime has more room the show the detail graphics of the prolonged story (1 manga chapter turns into 24 minutes anime, more or less), and it's colorful graphics as well (imagine how beautiful Yuoko-san Kimono or the temples and parks sceneries). But reading the manga makes you realised the beauty of the story too. So do both!

xxxHolic is an original manga with a bunch of great ideas. And Yûko is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy reading about her... antics, and I can't wait to read the sequels.
Oh, and if the title sounds or the covers look weird to you, don't let them scare you. I was a bit nervous about the series at first, since it kinda looked and sounded like it was a book about druggy people or something, but when I read about Yûko in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, I really wanted to read more about her. She's such a cool character. <3

I really liked this book. I watched it in Animax when I was in high school (I'm in 3rd year college now) and loved it. It has a really good story and teaches lots of life lessons. So I decided to read the book. and loved it more. I love the main character Watanuki. He's such a loving guy. He may not like this "thing" now but if it's for the betterment of someone or something, he'll do whatever it takes. The genre of this manga is Supernatural and a bit of adventure. I recommend this to anyone who likes supernatural/comedy/drama. This is a great manga and anime! :)
