xxxholic is manga from clamp...
and do you know mean 'xxx' from xxxholic?

no.....
i really like the manga... but the storyline is a little weird dont u think?
it doesnt seem to really follow one.....(unlike TRC)

xxxHolic...... yeah i really wonder what that means !!!

Thats one of the great mysteries of life like why does the vcr blink 12:00 and never change?

when i first saw the name I always thought it was pron...maybe they are all secret pron addicts

i suppose it was jus a compulsive decision? XD
i really like the manga tho

xxx is the Japanese equivalent of a blank.
So the title is kinda like '___holic'. Meaning you can fill the blank with an addiction like many of the people we find Yuuko and Watanuki helping - like the woman who lied all the time, or the woman who was addicted to the internet. So instead of ALCOholic or WORKAholic...we have a whole variety of "holic's" that can be applied. ^_^ Hope this helps!

Didn't know the difference, but thanks KanameChan for the information.

souka.. so it meant blank right ? wooot..

I think the shopkeeper lady is secretly an "xxx" holic if you know what I mean.

While the shopkeeper does have a certain sex-appeal, I think I'm going to have to side with KanameChan about this. Though I didn't know the xxx was the Japanese equivalent of our ___. That's new to me.

woooowwww :o that had never imagined to me :hmpf:

I always wondered what it meant when there was an "xxx" in something I was reading. Heh heh. Thanks!

I always thought it was a gimmick to attract readers.

Finally! I always wondered about that xxx...Been reading the books for quite sometime now, but nvr figured that one out...
Thanks

Apparently the Japanese are unaware of the meaning of "xxx" in the United States. While it may indicate a blank, it can also indicate the realm of the supernatural and esoteric, which is popular with teens in Japan -- and fitting with the content of the manga.

OOOO...x_x totaly confused here....
ok...? something like that...?
i always thought it means....hmmm -_-actually i never really think about the xxx, only thought that everything about the manga is kool XD...hehehe...

I knew the 'xxx' didn't mean hentai or anything, but I never thought about it meaning blank. That makes so much sense! Now I can tell my other friends who read the manga to. We've always wondered what the 'xxx' meant... Thanks KanameChan!

hmm, I never thought what the xxx could refer to. it's really helpful to know, and explains so much too, about the story and everything. :D

I thought it was because XXXHOLiC was (or is currently) syndicated in a Seinen (category of manga targeting young men) magazine...(Heh, I guess it might apply in the places where it's being licensed...) But that's really interesting, KanameChan (: Thanks for telling us that!
