XXXholic Volume 11 by Clamp

Domeki has recovered from his illness and returned to school, but now people that he has encountered and helped in the past have returned to see him once more. First the Ame-Warashi and Zashiki-Warashi, then the Pipe spirit, who he names No-Moon, the Odenya-san and his child, both Fox Spirits, and Kohane-Chan, the child exorcist.

But all is not well with the store. Due to the choices made by the characters from the Tsubasa, Reservoir Chronicles, the store itself somehow seems to be failing. The two spirit-girls who maintain the shop seem to spend their days in slumber, doing their best to prop up the shop's magic. The reason for the shop's failing seems to be a man named Fei-Wang Reed. Is this Clow Reed, creator of the magic Clow cards? The end is coming.

But in the meantime, Yuho still has customers coming to her store, including a young girl from Watanuki's school who is troubled by sounds in her home, things moving apparently on their own, and feeling the brush of someone else's hand. Yuho gives her a number of bells to wear, promising that they will make the problem go away. It does, when it is revealed that she is the spirit, and the owners of the house turned to an exorcist to make her leave.

Yuho gives Domeki an egg that was the twin of the one she gave Watanuki (Watanuki's hatched into a bird that he gave to Himawari-chan and which he named Tampopo, or Dandelion). She tells him to keep the egg close to him. It won't hatch, but he will need it to save someone or something at the right time.

Doom is coming. Will the store survive?

You can really tell that this series is coming to an end, and I don't think that all the people and creatures that Watanuki has helped coming to see him again is some kind of coincidence. But I am not looking forward to the end of this series I have so enjoyed reading. Ah well. We can't always have what we want.
