xxxHolic, a manga by CLAMP- an all female Japanese manga group consisting of 4 members - Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi, focuses on Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student plagued by yōkai and ayakashi, spirits with a strong attraction to him. The spirits are invisible to others and encounters with them are extremely troublesome. When he stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, however, events in his life promise to become more unusual. The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yūko, must be of equal value and so, as payment, he temporarily becomes Yūko's part-time employee. Watanuki's job consists of small errands dealing with the supernatural and household chores.Himawari Kunogi, Watanuki's love interest, and Shizuka Dōmeki, a classmate who Watanuki detests, occasionally join him in his work as per Yūko's request.
The series will be an 8 episodes with 1/2 an hour length for each episodes. To tell the truth, when I heard bout the project, I'm rather skeptical considering xxxHolic is one of my fav anime so I don't want it to end up like most disappointing live action. But at the same time, I'm having a high expectation and so looking forward for this drama.
Cast List
Anne Watanabe as Ichihara Yuko
Sometani Shota as Watanuki Kimihiro
Higashide Masahiro as Doumeki Shizuka
Miyazaki Karen as Kunogi Himawari
The cast is OK according to me, I think they bring out the character well especially Anne, I think she's the best cast for Yuko. The special effect is great and I'm totally in love with the op- Aitai by Suga Shikao. I just watch 2 ep so, I can't say much about it, but so far, me like it!!! In fact, I can't wait for the next ep to be released!! BTW, I watch it stream at
