This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Ahh i'm so surprised nobody's made a thread for xxxHolic. it's really enjoyable.. maybe even more so than tsubasa. >< yuko is so sexy.. and black mokona is so much more funnier than the white one. his drinking problem especially... i didnt think this would be a good title but low and behold, it's become one of my favorites. you guys should check it out if you havent.. everything that happens in tsubasa makes more sense after you read it >.>

I'm re-reading the first 4 volumes now. I thought the same way, wasn't sure if it would be as good as Tsubasa, but it really is. The characters in it are so much fun!It's fun to pick out when the Mokonas are talking to each other in each volume. XD

It's the compliment to Tsubasa, if you've read any of that. So... basically, at random times the characters in each story talk to each other. Same time, different places, different perspective.


DelRey
Watanuki Kimihiro is haunted by visions of ghosts and spirits. Seemingly by chance, he encounters a mysterious witch named Yuuko, who claims she can help. In desperation, he accepts, but realizes that heâ??s just been tricked into working for Yuuko in order to pay off the cost of her services. Soon heâ??s employed in her little shopâ??a job which turns out to be nothing like his previous work experience!

Most of Yuukoâ??s customers live in Japan, but Yuuko and Watanuki are about to have some unusual visitors named Sakura and Syaoran from a land called Clow. . . .


(I'm too lazy to come up with my own summary)

This is a really good manga. Very interesting and beautiful.
We can learn a lot of thing about japanese superstitions, equivalent exchange, clairvoyance...

XxxHolic is definitly better than tsubasa (in my opinion, so tsubasa fans plz dont come after me).

love the art, the story, and characters, especailly yuko.
btw, does anyone know when the 5th volume comes out? or did it come out already?

Currently in my country, xxxHolic is being published (estimated price: 7USD). Is it worth enough to be bought? :P

BTW, if it's worth it, then I'll buy it after completing my Angelic Layer collection (also published here).

xxxHOLIC... it's awesome. I'm so impressed with Yuuko, I played a character based on her in Neverwinter Nights. Yuuko the 30/1/8 Wizard(dess)/Bard/Red Dragon Sorceror can kill roomfuls of enemy within seconds.

I want to get more of the manga, but I heard that the anime version is in the works... I wonder if this is true.

Anyone know of a place to get the manga for cheap? the lowest price i've brought these manga so far is around $7 US for xxxholic, tsubasa, and negima (del ray stuff ^__^), and thats from ebay. amazon ships faster, but then i like to squeeze every penny possible. anyone know of any other online store that sells manga?

on a side note, I'm really tempted to buy the special hard cover copies of xxxholic and tsubasa in japanese with a separate translated version in jpg form.
