XxxHolic: Volume 8

by CLAMP, 182 pages

Still bearing the spider's grudge--and seeing some weird things out of his absent right eye--Watanuki learns that the spirit who gave him chocolate on Valentine's Day has put herself in danger in an attempt to help him. A whiner Watanuki may be, but he's also as selfless as they come, and so he throws himself into her rescue with no concern for his own well-being. But spider spirits can be fickle beings with shrouded motives, and Watanuki finds that sacrificing himself may not be enough.

Aw, Watanuki learns a lesson--volumes in the making--about loving himself enough to allow other people to love him. Sharing the burden is a good thing and he should do it more often...as Yûko and Dômeki have been trying to tell him all along. :)
