Remember the 2022 live-action film adaptation of "xxxHOLiC," directed by Mika Ninagawa? It brought back memories of CLAMP's manga series, "xxxHOLiC Rei," which has been on hiatus since 2016. For many fans, this series had become one of those "lifetime works" they hoped to see completed. While rumors of its return and new chapters picking up from the four existing volumes had circulated, nothing was concrete.
But hold up! Today (January 9), the official word dropped: the series is officially resuming serialization in Kodansha's "Weekly Young Magazine" Issue 21, set to release on April 21, 2025! After a nine-year wait, it's finally happening.
▼ Unsurprisingly, the news immediately shot to the top of X's trending topics.
"xxxHOLiC Rei" is the sequel to the original "xxxHOLiC" manga, which concluded in 2011. Launched in 2013, it released four tankobon volumes before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016. This confirmed return has reignited hope among Japanese and international fans on X, who are eagerly anticipating its comeback to "Weekly Young Magazine."
Seriously, this series has been dormant for ages! It's almost like the CLAMP team finally remembered they had this long-paused project to finish, lol. But for dedicated CLAMP fans, the announcement that this "lifetime work" is actually resuming serialization is an absolute dream come true. If you're a fan of the "xxxHOLiC" series, get ready for more updates!
