xxxHolic, Vol. 17

The visuals always seem so intentional in xxxHolic, but this volume's use of shadows and color really stood out to me. I wonder what choices the artists made to evoke such a mood.

The themes of fate and supernatural threats felt more intense here. I'm curious if others felt it pushed the series into a new, more serious territory.

The way the series weaves personal stories with larger supernatural themes is fascinating. I wonder what inspired the creators to focus on fate as a central motif.
