CLAMP announced that the xxxHolic Rei manga will resume serialization in the 21st issue of Young Magazine. It’ll come out on April 21, 2025. [Thanks, Oricon!]
xxxHolic Rei is the second series, and it serves as a sequel to the original xxxHolic. It started serialization in 2013, though there are only less than 60 chapters as of the time of writing. This is due to multiple hiatuses throughout the series. Volume 4, the newest volume in the series, came out in Japan in 2016.
The first xxxHolic manga series ran from 2003 to 2011, with a total of 19 volumes in the manga. It focuses on Kimihiro Watanuki, a high schooler who can perceive the supernatural. Upon meeting a mysterious witch and shopkeeper, Yuko Ichihara, he asks for her to remove his ability to see spirits. She agrees, but in exchange for her help, he needs to work for her. The manga was very popular. Despite the lack of updates in the series proper, there was even a xxxHolic collaboration event in Identity V in 2023.
