×××Holic, pronounced as "holic," is a seinen manga written and illustrated by the group of manga artists known as Clamp. The series, which crosses over with another Clamp work, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, revolves around Kimihiro Watanuki, a high-school student disturbed by his ability to see the supernatural, and Yuko Ichihara, a witch who owns a wish-granting shop. When Watanuki asks Yuko to remove his ability to see spirits, she grants it on the condition that he pay for his wish by working for her. Clamp created xxxHolic because they wanted a series that would link to their other works. They are currently working on a spin-off series xxxHolic: Rei.
PLOT:
Kimihiro Watanuki is a high school student plagued by yokai and ayakashi spirits, both of which are invisible to everyone else but him. The series begins when Watanuki stumbles, seemingly by chance, into a shop that grants wishes. The shop is owned by Yuko 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 Yuko, must be of equal value; so, as payment, he must become Yuko's temporary, part-time cook and housekeeper.
While his established job consists of household chores, Yuko increasingly sends him on errands of a supernatural or spiritual nature as the series develops. Himawari Kunogi, Watanuki's love interest, and Shizuka Domeki, a classmate whom Watanuki initially detests, occasionally join him in his work as per Yuko's request. The three become increasingly close, and though Watanuki is often annoyed with Domeki, he grows to value the new friendships he makes and his life at the wish shop.
