Commentary During Books xxxHolic, Vol. 10 (xxxHOLiC #10)
In which Watakanuki gives Kohane-chan a balloon, and we discover Himawari's secret.This is one of my very favorite volumes, after the sad park bench ghost in Volume 6. When I started the series, I loved the art and the Japanese folk tales, distrusted the emphasis on fate as an explanation for coincidence, and was faintly annoyed by the excitable, pinch-faced lead. Watanuki has changed--stronger and wiser in his love for the people he loves, gentler with those who are weaker than he is--but my perception of him and of the loss and fear behind the prickly defensiveness has also changed. Everyone in XxxHolic wears masks, except Kohane, who is too young, and Yuuko, who is too powerful, and all the masks are hiding the same thing: fear of hurt and of giving hurt. Watanuki has learned he has more than pain to give, and gives it; and so do others here.

This is easily my most (?) favorite issue of the series. I even shed a few tears while reading this because it touched me where it counts :) I love the artwork, especially how Watanuki, the main male character, is drawn. In one panel he's made to look like a member of a boy band or an actor in a drama, and the next panel he's screeching like a banshee.The ladies behind this manga are extraordinary.I'm not entirely sure if I'm on this volume or not. I've read quite a lot lately. Onemanga says I'm on chapter 158, so if anybody knows what volume that is, it would be nice to know. If chapter numbers aren't your thing, I'm just past the part where Kohane-chan's mother is found out. Help would be nice.
This volume finally explains what is going on with Himiwari-chan and all of Yuuko's dire comments about the girl not being good luck. It was nice to get some answers rather than more questions, and the ending fit perfectly.
Another great volume. We finally, finally find out what's wrong with Himawari-chan. And she, Domeki and a certain mysterious character save Watanuki's life. That was quite awesome. For the first time in his life, Domeki had a wish that allowed him to enter Yuko-san shop. It's actually quite sad that it came down to that because he has always been the one and only character who had no need for Yuko-san's services. I'm also quite curious about the mysterious boy who paid for Watanuki's life.
Ah, there's the Doom!
Over the last summer I tore through as many of the xxxHolic volumes as I could get my hand on. I tried leaving non-spoilery notes for myself in GoodReads but now that I'm writing the reviews I don't always understand my own mini-reviews.Volume 10 by CLAMP is the warning shot over the bow. Watanuki's powers are growing he's changed from his experience over losing his eye. He's becoming more aware of the reality of his situation and the danger.My favorite piece of the book was the woman in the
I am enjoying the development of all of the characters. Himiwari in particular was a pleasant surprise and the curse she is under. I also can't wait to see what comes out of both her and Domeki having to enter Yuko's shop. A really great installation in the series - probably one of my favorites so far
