To summarize it, XXXHOLiC did pretty excellently, not to mention that the 4 OADs volumes have been constantly appearing on the rankings since the OAD announcement.

The amount of XXXHOLiC comics sold up to now has increased to 9.500.000 copies =) I think it’ll break the 10 million mark until the end of the series.

EDIT: According to Oricon (where it also obtained position #1), XXXHOLiC #14 sold 264.393 copies in its first week.

Also, the official website of Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC OADs have posted a report from the recently-finished after-recording sessions of Tsubasa Shunraiki Part 1 with comments from cast members, check it out here.

Tsubasa Shunraiki comes out with Tsubasa #26, on March 17.
