xxxHolic

Description:
The series' plot focuses on Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student plagued by spirits with a strong attraction to him. The spirits are invisible to others and encounters with them are extremely troublesome. When he stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, however, events in his life promise to become more unusual. The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yūko, must be of equal value and so, as payment, he temporarily becomes Yūko's part-time employee. Watanuki's job consists of small errands dealing with the supernatural and household chores. Himawari Kunogi, Watanuki's love interest, and Shizuka Dōmeki, a classmate who Watanuki detests, occasionally join him in his work as per Yūko's request. The three become increasingly close despite Watanuki's annoyance with Dōmeki. Although Watanuki becomes happy with the new friendships he makes, he becomes concerned about Yūko, promising he will try to grant her wish.
                                                                     
It was really funny, though it had its serious moments and all. Before I watched it I thought that Watanuki was more level-headed than he really was...I mean he is the main source of the comedy in one form or another. Watanuki is a smart kid, but he makes some stupid mistakes by forgetting important lessons from another previous episode. I liked that they put the filler episode at the end of it, instead of in the middle where it can confuse a person.
