Xxxholic 3 (3)

Good read and collecting if you like clamp

loved it contenys the story and has some gart momentes in it and add more to the story xxxHolic but has grat twists

xxxHolic volume 3 contains chapters 15 to 21 plus translation notes.It is rated T for teen (13+)There are 19 volumes in total.Watanuki Kimihiro is a teenage boy who has the power to see spirits (yokai and ayakashi) but he would do anything to get rid of this power. One day he comes across a small mysterious shop and is forcefully dragged inside. The shop apparently grants wishes and the shopkeeper, Yuko Ichihara, tells him that she can get rid of those powers for him. But for a price. He has to work for Yuko as a part-time employee. His job is mainly small household chores and errands, it's not as easy as it sounds though as some of these errands involve the spirit world.xxxHolic occasionally crosses over with another CLAMP manga, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. Reading Tsubasa helps understand xxxHolic more and a couple of chapters don't make much sense without at least knowing the Tsubasa storyline but it isn't essential. All 28 volumes of Tsubasa are available to buy in English.In volume 3, Yuko sends Watanuki and Domeki to investigate a school in which a game called "Angel-san" has become popular. Angel-san is where you call on spirits and they answer your questions. For this request, Yuko gives Watanuki a special pair of ears to wear so they can communicate. You may recognise these ears from Chobits, another CLAMP manga.Also, whilst Yuko is cleaning out her storage (or it's more like Watanuki is doing all the work) a teacher walks past and spots something she likes. Yuko let's her take it. It later turns out to be a Monkey's Paw! Monkey's Paws grant wishes! But everytime her wish is granted, something bad happens in exchange.Watanuki also meets some fox spirits that run a food stand!Goodness CLAMP! How long did it take you to draw all of those beads on the cover! I'm impressed!I'm also impressed with the art in general but that is to be expected with CLAMP.The stories in this volume are some of the most memorable arcs in xxxHolic.If you are new to xxxHolic, I'd recommend starting from volume 1.
