When Kimihiro Watanuki -- a high school student constantly haunted by difficult spirits -- thought his life couldn't get any weirder... until the day he stumbled into a shop that specialized in granting wishes! The owner of the shop, the mysterious witch Yūko Ichihara, offers to intercede on Watanuki's behalf and grant his wish to be free of his spirit-born problems... but in exchange, he must become Yūko's part-time employee. Now Watanuki's life consists of running errands, dealing with the supernatural, and (of course) mundane household chores -- in short, doing pretty much whatever the eccentric and demanding Yūko wants. Along the way he will meet people from other worlds, see dangers he never thought existed, and face the greatest challenge of all -- specifically, how long can he hold out before his new boss drives him insane?
From best-selling manga artists CLAMP comes XXXHolic, an atmospheric detour into the strange and supernatural. Part comedy, part spook-fest, XXXHolic is born of a happy meeting of high-quality animation courtesy of Production I.G. (the folks behind the fan-favourite Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Blood+ series) and CLAMP's easy expertise at bringing fun and unique characters to life. And, thanks to the folks at Anime News Network, you can follow this link and start watching the first episode of this highly rated series even before you finish reading this blog entry. Get clicking!
