The right-eye stolen by an itsy bitsy spider arc continues! This time with more danger, a kidnapping has taken place. The Zashiki-warashi has been capture, oh my. While I am not a fan of her guardians, I saw another side to them this time. We also finally learn what Domeki sees when he is near Yuuko's home, and while I knew it already it was still a stunning page to see. Watanuki learns a lesson in this one, one that he should learn, and I hope that he will remember this lesson for his life. IYay!!! Another good volume!! Now that it seems the story is having somewhat of a purpose (mostly around Watanuki's character development), I'm far more into the storyline. I gobbled this volume up in one day. I really hope it continues on this path, because I'm really enjoying it!!Also... ♥ Domeki-kun ♥
Overall Rating: A-Synopsis: xxxHolic by Clamp follows Watanuki, an orphan who is plagued by spirits. While being chased by spirits, Watanuki runs into a strange shop and meets a strange woman named Yūko.

One of the most interesting characters yet appeared in this volume, offering truths unacceptable to most people. The
Another solid entry in the series, although it lost steam about halfway through. The first half was really interesting, picking up from where the previous volume left off with Kimihiro's eye problems still being unresolved, but the second half felt a bit more like filler.
I've recently been reading this series online, so I'm not cheating when I add four volumes of it. Somehow the chapters on the site are screwed up, so I'm not exactly sure which volume I'm on half the time, but judging from the description, I'm on this one.This series has everything I like in a series; supernatural elements, deep characters, and humor. The main cast consists of Watanuki, a teenager who can see spirits, Doumeki, one who can exorcise sprits, Yuuko, Watanuki's "boss", and Himawari,
