You have to read Tsubasa alongside this to understand it completely, but it is wonderful :)

Comenzó medio confuso este tomo pero terminó con un final que me dio ganas de leer el siguiente.

I bought this manga because I was read TRC first and they said that this book was the companion. At first, it's kinda hard for me to like this story because it's simpleness (that a word?). What made me keep going was the quotes Yuuko always said--stab me to heart like CLAMP always does. But then after volume 10, the pace changed, together with TRC plot on volume 15 who also get darker. The link between two stories getting tighter and TRC group keep mentioning by Yuuko, said that Watanuki's and Their (TRC group) destinies was mean to end the bad future.

SpoilerSome rumor I heard that xXxHolic finished in chap 213, but then I read no conclusion whatsoever on Watanuki behalf, only that finally he was released by Yuuko and his wished--somehow--granted. But I found that Doumeki was somehow still upset and then CLAMP didn't finished the plot they created with the egg that Doumeki hold to safe Watanuki. I wish they're more continuation on this story--Yuuko, Watanuki, hear that!

I love the work of Clamp. The art of xxxholic has to be some of their best.

A fun intro to the world of a “space-time witch.” I think I would have enjoyed it a little more had I understood some of the cultural background/puns from other manga and anime series that were used in the story. But overall a solid beginning to what appears to be an interesting series!

I like Kimihiro Watanuki, and some of the customers are interesting, but Yuko doesn't really do much for me. The crossover bits would be more interesting if I'd read those manga, I'm sure.
