CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

The Boss
CLAMP announced on Sunday that they will start serialising xxxHOLiC: Rei in February.


The series' plot focuses on Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student plagued by yōkai and ayakashi, spirits with a strong attraction to him. The spirits are invisible to others and encounters with them are extremely troublesome. When he stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, however, events in his life promise to become more unusual. The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yūko, must be of equal value and so, as payment, he temporarily becomes Yūko's part-time employee.

this reminds me that I stopped getting the manga at volume 11....
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

I loved season one of the anime, shame the rest was never localised. i might try the manga out.
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

I'm really excited about this...but also a little apprehensive, esp. as one of the good ladies of CLAMP has been indisposed and their other current series Gate 7 and Drop and Drug are on hiatus, I believe.

But the manga of xxxHolic is well worth reading - highly recommended!
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

Gate 7, Drop, Drug & X/1999 are on hiatus....

And yes, she has been ill since September, so it must be more than a simple cold =(
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

And a CLAMP fan descends. This is great to hear, I've always felt like there was just more to see concerning xxxHolic so it's pleasing to hear they're picking it back up. I've missed Watanuki and his crazy ways. Excited to see how they'll bring the story forward.

So Pandora, what do you think about CLAMP using xxxHolics to save Tsubasa?
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

Hmm, well I know I was actually quite pleased with the ending of Tsubasa. I know a lot of people weren't but I felt it was a nice open ending in the way you could take it as a conclusion or the start of something new. I'd be more than pleased for xxxHolic to branch back into the story. I always thought the crossovers between the two series were done well, not having to read one to understand the other etc. (though it certainly helped!)
I have to say I dream of a new series of Tsubasa (wishful thinking!) but if xxxHolic completely wraps it up I'll take it! That last Tsubasa crossover in xxxHolic raised more questions for me than the actual ending of Tsubasa!
In short: go right ahead CLAMP! :D
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

It's a shame the rest series didn't get released over here I really enjoyed it but with any luck if this gets a releases maybe they might release the rest
 
Re: CLAMP to continue Watanuki's saga in xxxHolic: Rei

In terms of anime, its a shame we didn't get more to Tsubasa and xxxHolic. I would love xxxHolic Kei and the OVA's. As for Tsubasa....I can do without season 2. Completely messed with the plot. But I'd love Tokyo Revelations and Shunraiki to get a release over here. They really did the manga justice.
