On its third week of release, XXXHOLiC Rei #3 fell to position 21 in Oricon’s weekly comic ranking, with 29.633 copies sold, making the overall sales up to 260.550 copies.

These numbers stay behind the sales of both volumes 1 and 2 during the same period of time.

Always worth mentioning that these numbers are only for the regular edition. Numbers for the PLAYBUTTON limited edition are unknown.

In case XXXHOLiC Rei #3 shows up again next week in Oricon’s ranking, I’ll post here about its performance.

The full performance of the XXXHOLiC Rei series in Oricon’s weekly comic ranking can be seen below:

This is a follow up from a post that was made last week only on my Facebook and tumblr channels.

On its second week of release, XXXHOLiC Rei #3 fell to position 10 in Oricon’s weekly comic ranking, with 76.331 copies sold, making the overall sales up to 230.917 copies.

For comparison’s sake, volumes 2 and 1 of XXXHOLiC Rei had sold 229.759 and 268.995 copies on their second week of release, respectively.

These numbers are only for the regular edition. Numbers for the PLAYBUTTON limited edition are unknown.

It is likely that XXXHOLiC Rei #3 will show up again next week on Oricon, if that is the case, I’ll post here about its performance.

The full performance of the XXXHOLiC Rei series in Oricon’s weekly comic ranking can be seen below:

CLAMP Twitcast

Continuing from the twitcast they did last month, on today’s twitcast CLAMP talked more about XXXHOLiC Rei and Tsubasa – WoRLD CHRoNiCLE -. They also talked briefly about their exhibition in Kyoto’s International Anime and Manga Fair that will happen later this month.

The chibi characters designs you see on the video were used as patterns for the new set of leather merchandise they did in collaboration with illustrator Yamamoto Chikahito.

If anyone listened to the twitcast and would be willing to share translations and/or comments, please feel free to do so in the comments area.

They also posted sneak peeks from the second chapter of Tsubasa – WoRLD CHRoNiCLE -, which they are currently working on.

XXXHOLiC Rei #3 to come with original audio drama

The second volume of XXXHOLiC Rei, which was released today in Japan, is announcing that the 3rd volume of the series, to be released on August 20th, will come with an original audio drama. The drama’s script will be written by CLAMP member Nanase Ohkawa.

The latest XXXHOLiC Rei volume also updates the number of “XXXHOLiC” volumes to 12.7 million copies sold to this date.

Looks like Kodansha is trying really hard to always bring a special bonus for each volume. This looks more interesting than the Blu-ray re-releases, though — in my opinion!

Like volume 1, this volume will have a limited edition that will come with the original animations of XXXHOLiC Rou (2010) and XXXHOLiC Rou ~Adayume~ (2011) in Blu-ray format.

CLAMP will draw the Blu-ray jacket illustration and a XXXHOLiC-themed memo paper sheet will come as a bonus.

(not sure if the image above is from the cover of volume 2 or the Blu-ray jacket… probably the former).

XXXHOLiC Rei #1 out in October

According to the latest chapter of XXXHOLiC Rei, the first volume will be released in October.

This clears the doubt of whether the counting would be restarted or not. Yes, XXXHOLiC Rei will have its own counting starting at volume 1.

We all kind of expected that, anyway.
