, 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, , 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.
