xxxHOLiC Rei

Serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine (2013– [on hiatus])

After the conclusion of Chobits, this work became a new serialization in a young men's magazine. The mysterious building that draws in Kimihiro Watanuki, a boy who can see spirits, houses a shop that grants wishes for a price of equal value. The story, reminiscent of a collection of supernatural tales, revolves around Yuko Ichihara, the owner of the shop, who is visited by various clients burdened with different troubles one after another. Both xxxHOLiC and Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- ran during the same period, and their stories crossed over. By reading both works simultaneously, readers could interpret the two stories from multiple perspectives and layers, as they were intricately interconnected. In 2009, the series was renamed to xxxHOLiC Rou and ran until 2011. Then, in 2013, the series turned a new leaf with xxxHOLiC Rei, complementing xxxHOLiC Rou. The series has been adapted into anime, live-action drama, live-action films, and staged as readings and theatrical productions, showing its high affinity for mixed media adaptations.
