"xxxHolic Vol. 18" by Clamp5 stars out of 5
Fantastic. There are no words that could describe just how much I love this series. This volume - just like volume 17 - is set after the ending if "Tsubasa Chronicle", the manga series that ran parallel to this one. Volume 18 takes place five to ten years later but where Domeki is aging, Watanuki is not and as Watanuki's powers are growing stronger, Domeki can't help but feel more and more protective of him because Watanuki seems to be more and more disconnected from reality since he can't leave the shop and travels only in his dreams. I love, really love the current setting - the story takes place almost exclusively in the shop and it focuses on Watanuki and Domeki and on the choices they make and it's truly, truly wonderful! There's only one more volume left and that knowledge's breaking my heart...
