As well as Naruto, Blue Exorcist, and Soul Eater. Hmm, I wasn't a big xxxholic fan tbh when I watched the anime about a year ago. I am however, looking forward to Clamp's Gate 7 which I will read when it finishes publishing Cool

I'm glad GTO is doing well for Vertical. Maybe now they can do a quality rerelease of the original.

And it's great that Soulless is doing well for Yen. Most of their OEL projects have been pretty successful.

xxxHolic is #1, but it hardly deserves to be. That was probably the worst volume in the entire series. I have no idea what happened to CLAMP. One day all of their series began to have incoherent stories, and it's still a problem today with Gate 7 (Good luck getting someone to write a summary of Gate 7's plot).

I'm incredibly happy that Soulless is doing so well. I'm a huge fan of the original novels, and I love what the artist has done with that story. Seriously, check this out if you like fun things, steampunk, werewolves... It's great!!

Well it's up so high because it's the last volume. Besides, I hear that xxxHOLiC went downhill, because they wanted to end up volumes ago, but they had to switch magazines and continue the series... I doubt they wanted to, but they had to come up with something?

As for Gate 7, there is definately alot of historical characters and events involved that could make it confusing, but I see it as something of a plot constantly unfolding. It only begun a couple volumes in, give it time >_>

Go xxxHolic and Soulless! Still need to catch up with vols. 16-19; I'm hoping Holic's ending is more coherent than Tsubasa's was.

So far Soulless is one of my favorites from Yen's OEL line (though the art for Maximum Ride and Witch & Wizard are still great, their stories don't agree with me as much anymore).
