I think this has been discussed before, but I don't feel like looking for the thread.

I really think it's pronounced "Holic." I personally call it "EXHolic" because that's how I started saying it and I can't break myself from saying it like that.

I'm only guessing that it's "Holic" because when watching Hunter X Hunter...they only say "Hunter Hunter."

I've like to refer to it as kiss-aholic. It's a little silly. I don't know the plot though so I really don't know if the xxx is for kiss-kiss-kiss or sex-sex-sex or maybe something completely different.

I say ex-ex-ex holic. But from what I've heard, it's just 'Holic'.

I honestly wonder how many noobs thought it was pornographic, just from the title?

They'd probably call it "Porno-Holic".

I know that was just bad...

The anime movie is in production, so maybe someone will finally give it an official pronounciation.
