I had heard good things about this manga and when I saw volume 1 on the shelf, I picked it up. I didn't care for it that much. It's confusing - both pictures and story. There is a teenage boy who sees spirits who goes to work for a modern day witch who will grant wishes - for a price. The premise is good but I was a bit confused the entire time. I know some of what is referenced can be found in other manga I haven't read. I'm not sure if there were moral lessons I was supposed to be taking from this, like - don't lie - and if you have a bad habit, fix it for you and no one else. Those topics were covered but I wasn't very satisfied in how the tale was told. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Watanuki Kimihro is haunted by visions of ghosts and spirits. Seemingly by chance, he encounters a mysterious witch named Yûko, who claims she can help. In desperation he accepts, but realises that he's just been tricked into working for Yûko in order to pay off the cost of her services. Soon he's employed in her little shop - a job that turns out to be nothing like his previous work experience! Most of Yûko's customers live in Japan, but Yûko and Watanuki are about to have some unusual visitors named Sakura and Syaoran from a land called Clow... xxxHolic volume one crosses over with Tsubasa volume one - don't miss it!

I liked both Yuka the witch and Watanuki. Yuka runs a wish-granting shop and tricks Watanaki into working for her. Now stuff can happen, while Watanuki spends the rest of the volume reeling. Naturally, nothing is simple and nothing is what it seems when it comes to people’s wishes. Magic, horror, humour and slapstick were an enjoyable mix.
The drawing style is beautiful, with Art Nouveau influences. Sometimes it felt too pretty, but it’s not something to complain about in this case.
There is a cliffhanger at the end, it must be a sign that I’ll be reading more of this series :) ( )
