About xxxHOLiC Kei

Looking for background on xxxHOLiC Kei? This comedy, supernatural and mystery series by Production I.G (2008) starts out like this. In short: Kimihiro Watanuki's life was never really normal. But in addition to his ability to see spirits, this sequel to xxxHOLiC comes across him still slaving away for Yuuko, the bizarre owner of an odd shop, who promised to rid him of this ability.

Another thread: However, this otherworldly woman can only do so when he has worked enough to earn his wish. Such is the way for anyone who comes across their way into the shop to have their request granted: a compensation equal to their wish must be paid. In this odd shop that straddles the realm of the living and the dead, Watanuki comes across himself doing household chores for the seemingly lazy Yuuko and her companions, while also helping out clients.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
