xxxHolic

From 2004 to 2012, xxxHolic follows Kimihiro Watanuki, a young man cursed with the ability to see spirits, who becomes bound to the enigmatic witch Yūko Ichihara and her shop that grants wishes at a profound cost. Published by Random House, this 19-issue series is a signature work from the legendary all-female manga collective CLAMP, with writer Ageha Ohkawa and artist Tsubaki Nekoi at the creative helm. Intertwining Japanese folklore with psychological horror and dark fantasy, the series explores the delicate balance between desire and consequence, making it a hauntingly stylish and thematically rich entry in early 2000s manga.
