XXX Holic By: CLAMP

Before I give info, I think you should know that "XXX Holic" crosses over with "Tsubasa". Though it is not nessacary to read both, you will get the same events from diffrent perspectives.

MANGA INFO: The story starts off with a young boy named "Kimihiro watanuki" (Meaning April 1st) being followed and smmutherd by some odd creatures. In an attempt to escape these creaters Watanuki Accedently touches a fence and the monsters are dispelled. After touching the fence, Watanuki's legs start to drag him into the starnge house that lies behond the fence. When entering the strange house he is greeted by two girl name maru and moro.(One could translate their names into "Flash and streak".) After entering the house, Maru and Moro take Watanuki to the "Mistress", who is first shown as a beautiful young woman smokeing on a coach. When watanuki tries to explain that he did not mean to barge in, the mistress tells him it was a hitsuzen.after Watanuki telles the mistress (Now named Yuko) his Name and birthday (April 1st) she tells him that she knows that he is troubled by spirits. Yuko tell Watanuki she is the ownerof a shop the grants wishes, and that she will get rid of Watanuki's sixth sense, but the frice will be great. Watanuki agrees to this and is to work for Yuko until his bill has been payed.

The story includes many cameos such as Watanuki going to get Eki-Kabe and meeting the two main characters from leagal drug, another CLAMP manga. It also includes the mokona from "Mage night rebirth",a replica of the wand sakura first uses in CCS and refrences tomany of CLAMP's manga. The art is beautiful and the story can be hillarious. The only down side to this manga is that Both Watanuki and Yuko look like characters from CCS ( Watanuki looks like one reincarnation of clow reed and Yuko looks like "Ruby").
