Manga Review: Xxxholic V.1

                                                          Xxxholic V.1Review
Xxxholic is a series by Clamp that is about a high school boy named Watanuki who can see spirits which trouble him and one day he accidentally wonders into Yuko's shop. Yuko is a witch that will grant any wish for the right price and she decides that she will grant Watanuki's wish to not see spirits anymore but he'll have to work for her in order to pay for that wish.

The rest of the volume deals with her clients and a bit of explaining how the spirit world works. Yuko's other two climates in this volume are a woman who can't stop lying which is so much of a bad habit that it starts to effect her physically and the second client is a woman who can't seem to stop going on her computer. My favorite parts of the volume is whenever Yuko explains how the spirit world or human nature works.

I also really liked all the references to other clamp series like seeing a replica of the sealing rod from Cardcaptor Sakura and Yuko's reference to an au version of Subaru or the cameo of two characters from Legal Drug. I also liked how this volume ends when Tsubasa's Syaoran came to Yuko to ask her to save Sakura.

 I overall really liked this series it has interesting plots, mythology and likable characters. Please tell me your thoughts on the series in the comment section below.
