Crossover Info: xxxHolic #5 crosses over with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles #7 via Yuko sending a letter to the gang about their White Day present. There's also a crossover with CLAMP's other new work Legal Drug #2 with Yuko getting the vase that was discovered by Kazahaya and Rikuo.
Just got my issue of xxxHolic #5 in the mail and all I can say is "Wow!". Not only do we get more well written stand alone supernatural stories with subtle character developments, we are also treated to a HUGE leap forward in the xxxHolic story with the biggest suprise this series has revealded and I never would have guessed: There's a bad guy!
What started out as the usual strange ghost/monster/spirit storyline turned into something much larger (maybe global?) that is literally eating people's souls and what's more, we see Yuko take a stand and use her powers to fight what the villian is doing and add extra meaning to all those butterflies we see in all the previous xxxHolic pictures (go ahead, have a look! No we know what they are... kind of).
There's also a subtle piece of info regarding the black Mokona (he has two stomaches!)
Great art. Suprising story. Buy it now. Seriously. This series rocks!
I hate to say it, but it really is better than Tsubasa!
