help xxxHOLiC Rou FAQ
Where does xxxHOLiC Rou fit in the xxxHOLiC story?
xxxHOLiC Rou is an OAD set after Yuuko's disappearance, with Kimihiro Watanuki now running the wish-granting shop. It shipped with volume 17 of the manga in 2010.
Should I watch xxxHOLiC Rou before xxxHOLiC Shunmuki?
No, Rou works better after the earlier TV anime, Kei, and Shunmuki because it depends on Watanuki's promise to Yuuko. Without that context, his choice to remain in the shop loses much of its weight.
Which familiar characters appear in xxxHOLiC Rou?
Watanuki, Doumeki, Kohane, Maru, Moro, and Mokona are all important to the OAD's quiet, melancholy mood. The story also keeps Yuuko's absence at the center, even when she is not physically present in the same way.
Is there a sequel to xxxHOLiC Rou?
Yes, xxxHOLiC Rou: Adayume followed in 2011 and was bundled with manga volume 19. It focuses more on Doumeki's dreams and Watanuki's continuing role as the shop's owner.
