XXXHOLiC Rei #4 debuted at the 7th position in Oricon’s weekly comic ranking, with 103.919 copies sold on its first week of sales.
This is the worst first week performance for a XXXHOLiC volume ever since I started taking record of sales (volume 13). On the other hand, XXXHOLiC Rei #4 was Kodansha‘s best selling title of that week. That needs to be acknowledged.
These numbers are only for the regular edition. Numbers for the Blu-Ray limited edition are unknown but they are probably lower than 15.765, which is how much the last position sold in that week.
For comparison’s sake, the first three volumes of XXXHOLiC Rei sold 183.837, 155.848 and 154.586 copies on their first week of sales, respectively.
It is likely that XXXHOLiC Rei #4 will show up again next week on Oricon, if that is the case, I’ll post here about its performance.

Speaking of special chapters, did that ccs special chapter with a little Sakura and touya come out yet?
with holic position 7th, that’s not bad considering how slow the whole arc was. ^^ and of course 1st place for ccs. Goes without saying!!

The short story of Sakura and Touya is actually a reprint of the short story printed in the first CCS artbook. It came with the 20th Anniversary Memorial Box. Not a new comic, though, it’s a reprint.

Lol yeah definitely prettier. Artistic representation! The director of this video probably read holic back then and got inspired. ^^ now we need a yuuko -esque video.
yeah I like his songs, and the music videos he does are great too.
