by CLAMP, 185 pagesWatanuki and Dômeki make a series of trips across the wall of a private garden to draw water from a certain well for one of Yûko's mysterious plans. But something about the silent, unmoving woman watching them from behind a second-floor curtain isn't "right." A tiny incident of bad luck shows them the grim truth. And then an even greater misfortune befalls Watanuki, revealing an even greater unhappy truth about someone very close to him.
Aaaaahhhhh, so that's how it is. So much makes sense now! Watanuki has an uncommonly good heart, which only encourages those around him to hold him even closer to their own. A well done, slow boil of a sub-plot.
The further one reads into XxxHolic, the more the links with Tsubasa pay off for readers of both series. But even without them, I'd love these.
