xxxHOLiC

The genre is occult, modern fantasy, and dark fantasy. The author is Clamp, known for works like Cardcaptor Sakura, Tokyo Babylon, and Magic Knight Rayearth. They are a team of 4 female artists! This work touches upon all of Clamp's various universes. If 'Tsubasa Chronicle' is the work where all Clamp's creations are paid homage to, then xxxHOLiC feels like the bridge connecting them. It has a dreamy yet philosophical vibe, which I really like. From the first volume, the 'chicken stick' from Cardcaptor Sakura appears, and elements from other works pop up here and there. The elongated art style can be polarizing, but I got used to it quickly. It was discontinued once, but last year, they re-released it with a new cover as a premium collection xxxHOLiC (I'm typing it in Korean because it's all in English). I managed to buy an old used copy for more than the price of a new one, sadly (but I bought the new one too). Here's the most famous line: "There are no coincidences in this world. Only destiny." Definitely check out Tsubasa Chronicle too~ It's the most closely linked to Cardcaptor Sakura and this series!
