XxxHolic: Volume 12

by CLAMP 185 pages

Watanuki is having a harder and harder time differentiating dream from reality and is starting to fear that the latter may not even exist...or at least that he may not exist within it. But he has the love and support of his friends and has learned to value himself for the sake of those he loves. He contemplates all they do for him and decides he wants to return the favor. What wish can he grant one whose life is given to granting the wishes of others?

Even the reader's not sure when Watanuki is asleep and when he's awake...or if there's a difference. But as he realizes what he does and doesn't know, what he does and doesn't experience, the reader is surprised to discover she, too, has missed many obvious clues. Clever, clever, CLAMP.
