xxxHOLiC, Vol. 4 [Paperback]

CLAMP (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 25, 2005

It’s Valentine’s Day–and while Domeki is showered with chocolates and cards from girls, Watanuki receives none. To make matters worse, he must also do the usual chores for Yûko, which includes making chocolate cake for her and Mokona, as well as the treats his boss wants to give away as gifts. But when Watanuki discovers he has a shy and secret admirer who is not quite human, he finds that chocolates can be more than just sweets.

Then, after seeing identical twin sisters pass by in the street, Yûko makes a curious remark: that there are chains that only humans can use to bind others. Watanuki meets the sisters and senses that the relationship between them is not what it seems. . . .

xxxHOLiC crosses over with Tsubasa, also by CLAMP. Don’t miss it!

More About the Author

Clamp, stylized as CLAMP, is an all-female Japanese manga artist group that formed in the mid 1980s. Many of the group's manga series are often adapted into anime after release. It consists of their leader Nanase Ohkawa, who provides much of the storyline and screenplay for all their works and adaptations of those works respectively, and three artists whose roles shift for each series: Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi. Almost 100 million Clamp tankōbon copies have been sold worldwide as of October 2007.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic entry in the XXXholic series!, January 27, 2005

By

This review is from: xxxHOLiC, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

If you love XXXholic, #4 won't disappoint! The hilarious bickering continues between Watanuki and Domeki (or as Watanuki-kun refers to him, "Mr. Zero Expression Face"), as Watanuki seeks to show his true feelings to Himawari-chan by exchanging chocolate with her on Valentine's Day and White Day (it's a Japanese thing). Meanwhile, Yuko-san shows Watanuki how "words are bonds that only humans can use." Neat!

Bottom line: if you've enjoyed the first three volumes of XXXholic, you'll love this one too. If you haven't yet read XXXholic...what are you waiting for? It has beautiful art, terrific characters and dialogue, a goth sensibility and philosophic introspection galore. What else is there in life?

CLAMP, xxxHolic vol. 4 (Del Rey, 2004)

xxxHolic is starting to get interesting, with the relationship between Watanuki and Domeki solidifying (at least, in its instability). Good storyline about twin sisters that's the first truly memorable story in the batch. Enough to keep me going with the series, at least. ***
