Crossover Info: As far as I could tell, there were no crossover events with Tsubasa reservoir Chronicles or Legal Drug within this volume, though lots of references to previous xxxHolic volumes. If you catch a crossover link, make sure to let me know!
xxxHolic just keeps getting better and better. While last volume we saw a major progression with the plot with Yuko battling a mysterious villian's quest, here we get some BIG personal development between Watanuki and Domeki with heaps of romantic suggestions and Watanuki actually being forced to ponder what Domeki means to him.
It also becomes apparent that Yuko "hired" Watanuki for a much greater reason that simply to repay a fee. Several characters mention or speculate on Watanuki's destiny and where he's headed with in becoming obvious that big changes are instore for him in future volumes (having seen the next volume in Japanese I can say this is definitly the case!).
The art is of course first class and I simply loved the translation notes in the back (5 pages!). This manga continues to educate me in the Japanese language and culture.
5+ stars for this baby!
