I am excited about xxxHolic, I love that series so much. Also, one of the anime episodes I believe was based on the novel?

Can anyone tell me what Papillon is about? The Encyclopedia doesn't say anything.

Zaregoto sounds interesting, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

I may look into the xxxHolic novel as well. I haven't read the manga but it sounds like novel can stand on its own.

Right, episode 17 is based on the first of the three stories in the novel.

That... will probably be up in the air until it's translated. Starting from the end of Vol 1, things get freaking trippy and odd. For instance the Villefort plot is extended and changed extensively to include Mme. Villefort coming back from the dead and whatnot. ^^;

Hooray for Mao-chan finally getting relased!


Agreed! I've been waiting for the manga to be licensed for a long time. I have the first volume in Japanese.

Wikipedia has some information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillon_-hana_to_chou-

I hope that helps.
