xxxHOLiC

I know that I didn't post anything last week, I was a little under the weather. So this week I'm gonna talk about one of my favorites, xxxHOLiC. So just to save time this entire thing is a spoiler for the manga.

To make this go faster I'll go through all the things that I think are important to the story's plot. Okay so while Watanuki is walking home he is being chased by a spirit and he trips. In an attempt to get up he touches a fence, once he touches the fence the spirit disappears. Then Watanuki ends up in the store where he meets Yuko, Maru, and Moro. Then while he's working Syaoran and Sakura appear and soon are followed by Fai and Kurogane. Watanuki goes to retrieve the Mokonas, which means the black Mokona becomes a new character in the story. After the group leaves things continue as normal...or as normal as xxxHOLiC can get. So one day Watanuki is walking by Domeki's temple and Domeki tells Watanuki to help with the cleaning. While cleaning Watanuki gets caught in a spider web and Domeki destroys the web, this angers the spider, who lays a web across Domeki's eye. Watanuki wants to help Domeki even if he hates Domeki, so he gives the spider his eye. The spider removes the web from Domeki eye. Domeki gets upset with what Watanuki did. Then while trying to save Zaki Warashi, she tried to get Watanuki's eye back, he found the spider lady who took his eye and Zaki Warashi. Wanuki tries to bargin for the life of Zaki Warashi but the spider lady doesn't like it when people give themselves up to help another person if they tried to help that person. In the end Watanuki looses his eye. Ok so now things get darker. While walking in the hall with Himaware, Watanuki falls out a window almost killing himself. Inorder to save his life Himaware takes Watanuki's scars, and Domeki gives blood...I think that, part was kinda confusing. And the real Syaoran payed a price to save Watanuki. To shorten things up Watanuki gets better, he finds out he's a dream walker or something. Yuko's store starts to deteriorate because it's almost time for Yuko to leave. When Yuko does leave Watanuki learns that Yuko should've been dead long ago but Clow Reed made a wish for her to live longer. After Yuko leaves no one remembers her. The only people that remeber Yuko is Watanuki, Domeki because he shares an eye with Watanuki, Himaware because she has a bird given to her by Watanuki that was originally from Yuko, the fortune teller that was good friends with Yuko, Maru, Moro, and Mokona because they were creations made by Yuko. Also Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona remember Yuko. (by the way Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona visit the store) So after a few weeks without Yuko something strange happens. Watanuki is pulled into another world where he learns that he and Syaoran are the same person. In this world he also decides to stay in the store until Yuko comes back. Which means he can never leave the store becuase he no longer has a soul. He runs the store for four years and after those years he gets a dream with Yuko in it and he doesn't understand the meaning of it. So that's as far as the story has gotten. I know i forgot some characters but that's only because I don't like them. If you have a problem with this then tell me and I will change my description of the story.

Now it's time for my favorite characters.

1) Yuko Ichihara-Yuko is a witch if you want to call her. She is known as the Space Time Witch because she has the power to allow people to travel through time and space. She also grants wishes as long as the person can pay the right price. Her favorite color is red. She loves to just lay around, smoke, drink and torture Watanuki.

2) Kimihiro Watanuki- Watanuki was orphaned as a younge boy when his parents died trying to protect him. In his blood runs something that atracts spirits. He works for Yuko inorder to pay for the wish he wants. His wish is to get rid of the spirits. He loves to cook, and he's a pretty good cleaner. He loves Himaware, he hates Domeki but he is secretly Domeki's good friend. His birthday is April 1st and is the same person as Syaoran.

3) Shizuka Domeki- Domeki has lived with his grandfather in the temple since he was a little boy. When he was little he was dressed as a girl and forced to walk around like that inorder to get rid of any fear. That's why he never smiles or has any facial feature...normally. He never admits that he doesn't like Watanuki but he never says that he likes him either. But Domeki loves to eat Watanuki's cooking. He can eat an entire Bento box by himself!

4)Mokona- This Mokona is used to communicte with Syaoran and the others, much more in the manga then in the anime. Mokona is just as popular with the ladies as is the white Mokona. This Mokona is mean to Watanuki sometimes he likes to torture Watanuki as well. Also just like the white Mokona he like to drink alot just like Yuko.

5 & 6) Maru and Moro- I love thes girls! They are so cute in the way they talk! I also noticed that they kinda symbolise good and bad. Maru wears more of the darker stuff and Moro wears more pink. And just like Watanuki they don't have souls so they can't leave the store.

7) Himaware- I forget her name so I'm not going to put it in. She loves Watanuki but since he can't leave the store she married someone else. She tells Watanuki that she has always brought people bad luck and that's why he fell out the window.

Next week it's all about Ouran High School Host Club. Till next week!
