Title: xxxHolic Question
Post by: Tohru-chan on August 03 2007, 02:08 am: This is probably a REALLY stupid question, but does anyone know the city in which xxxHolic takes place? I've been in the process of moving lately, so I have no idea where my xxxHolic books are at currently. >.< If some one could help though, I'd be really appreciative. I'm working on a crossover fic ( ^^; and normally I can't stand crossovers *except clamps own obviously*) So it would really be helpful. I just don't want to write it in, and have it wrong XD

Thanks in advance!

Post by: Kuro-puppy on August 03 2007, 02:13 am: the city?.......I know it's in the same dimension as CCS Sakura and Syaoran and Sakura did visit her once (Yuuko has Sakura's staff in her collection O.O) so maybe the city is Tomoeda?

just a wild guess since i never read XXXHolic....

(I don't remember where it said they had met before ^^; ) She said that the real one was currently in the posession of a girl. BUT, that's besides the point (is really good at going off on tangents). I keep thinking it was Tokyo, since Watanuki's apartment is the same as Hideki and Chii's in Chobits (and I know that was located in Tokyo). I just don't have any way to confirm or deny any of it right now. XD

Post by: Sailor Yue-chan on August 03 2007, 11:31 pm: its never mentioned, but CLAMP says that it takes place in the same universe as tokyo babylon, x, ccs and legal drug. watanuki is seen shoping at that store where legal drug takes place, so if LD is given a loction, give the same to holif

Me too hehe... because that time when Syaoran and the others arrived and Kurogane asked where was that place, she said it was Tokyo, a different Tokyo from Kurogane's...

My volumes of TRC and xxxHolic alike are currently stuffed away in boxes, so I can't verify it, but doesn't Yuuko say it's different from Kurogane's Japan?
