Since I've found at least one fellow HOLiC fan on the boards, I thought I'd start a thread for it instead of driving someone else's thread off-topic.
So! Who else loves this amazing series?

meeeee though I'm not into yaoi or whatnot so im gonna pretend the whole domeki/watanuki fandom doesnt exist :3 (though I admit with clamp... they might make it canon o_0) But yeah... i really love this series, and recently read all i had over again (through vol 8, as mentioned before). The mystery, slow pacing, and lots of interesting dialogue are what I think i like about it most. and watanuki is cute... waaaaay cute :3

I'm going to agree with you on the Watanuki/Doumeki thing. Though I do hope Watanuki doesn't end up with Himawari.... that gal gives me the heebie-jeebies.
The combination of such an unusual, addicting, slow-paced storyline and amazing artwork are what keep me coming back for more. There's something about the art in HOLiC that, while definitely CLAMP style, is totally different from anything else. It really helps tie in the whole mystic/otherworldly tone that the whole series has.
In other news, I'm hopefully going to be cosplaying as Yuuko soon! <3

Yuuko.. I didn't like her much at first but she's grown on me ^_^ Actually I've been watching more of the anime and I'm starting to like it too... its at least not as bad as the angelic layer anime translation <_>
Himawari... I still don't know what her deal is but I'm intensly curious. It seems like she breaks spells or something, but the bookword incident seemed to imply some... malintent?

That face freaks me out. The "<_>", that is. XD
Anyways, yeah. Either she's some kind of evil thing in disguise, or she's somehow connected to a malicious power but has no control over it. Personally, I think it's more the first than the second, but that's just me.

She freaks me out, actually. XD There's something about that perpetual sunshiney-ditzy thing she's got going on that seems fake, to me.

its possible... I reread vol 8 the other day and the whole prostitute spider queen thing was cool... and I could actually apply the lesson learned by watanuki to my own life too ^_^ I think thats one of the things I like the most about the series, a lot of the philosophical stuff is actually applicable to real life in a pragmatic, if not fantastical, sense. Not to say I believe most of it, but it's still interesting thought.
