Book Reviews of xxxHolic, Vol. 7
Book Review: Another great entry
Summary: 5 Stars
IMPORTANT!!! If you are even just thinking of picking up this manga DON'T READ the product descriptions on the Amazon.com page or on the back cover of the book itself as it basically ruins almost every suprise and twist in it's pages!!! Do feel free to read this review though as I promise you I won't ruin the story for you and focus on generalisations and vague impressions. ;)
Crossover Info: Yuko appears to be talking with someone over in a future issue of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, possibly the soon to be released, Volume 10.
This have been picking up speed for a while now in this seductive series and things continue so in this volume as several long running subplots come to a head as the mystery-of-the-day arcs a pushed into the background to allow more time for the plot to advance.
Those who have thought there's been something going on with ******** ever since Yuko first spoke cryptically about ****** in Volume * will get a big payoff in this volume. (Who could it be?)
Likewise, readers who have been wondering about possible conflict between Yuko and Domeki since she revealed to him that he can't enter her store will want to pick this issue up. There's also some dramatic development between Domeki and Watanuki as well as Watanuki's first major step into "change".
What becomes more apparent starting with this volume is a kind of unconcious cosmic connection between Watanuki and Syaoran from Tsubasa. The connection really starts with this volume which looks like either the midway point of the series (think about the few chapters before Sakura's trial in the Card Captor Sakura manga) or a build up to a finale, though judging from news reports and the fact that Tsubasa's going for at least another year and a half, we can expect xxxHolic to continue for at least that long which leaves me aching to find out what Watanuki's going to be like by the end and what's going to happen when Syaoran and Sakura return to Yuko's shop (they both share the same birthday as Watanuki. That's another connection that just came to me).
This is basically another kick arse entry into the xxxHolic saga well worth any reader's money. Pick it up asap before someone spoils the story for you or you give in to spoilers (EVIL!). 5 STARS all the way!
Summary of xxxHolic, Vol. 7
KimihIro Watanuki has a wish on layaway with Yűko Ishikawa, the sultry time-space witch who can grant anyone?s deepest desire . . . for a price! Still, working like a slave in Yűko?s shop hasn?t dampened Kimihiro?s enthusiasm for his cute classmate Himawari-chan, nor his irritation with his too-cool rival Dômeki, the guy who always seems to be around during Kimihiro?s most embarrassing moments.But when Dômeki, trying to be a good samaritan, inadvertently becomes the object of a terrible grudge, Kimihiro seeks Yűko?s help. However, the cost for her assistance is steep: Kimihiro would be permanently impaired! Is such a sacrifice worth it for someone he would rather have disappear?
