[1] xxxHolic follows the story of Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student that is plagued by ayakashi spirits, where he stumbles upon a shop that grants wishes.

In September 2012, it was announced that CLAMP's manga series, xxxHolic will be adapted into a live-action television miniseries.

Anne Watanabe was announced as the role of Yuko Ichihara, while Shōta Sometani playing Kimihiro Watanuki.

The series is directed and written by Keisuke Toyoshima with Jun Tsugita as a co-writer, and will air on Wowow on February 24, 2013.

[5] Kotaku felt Shōta Sometani's portrayal of Watanuki's character was appropriate, but believed Anne Watanabe who played Yuko overshadowed him.
