About Black Butterfly
Black Butterfly has been open since May 29, 2006 and was adopted from Monica on April 2, 2007. I decided to keep the name Black Butterfly for the fanlisting because of the same reasons the previous owner had: the words black butterfly are repeated several times in the song and the butterfly seems to be what Yuuko is always associated with. ^^ So its a perfect name, wouldn't you agree?
xxxHolic?
xxxHolic is a wonderful animanga created by the amazingly talented female manga-ka group, Clamp. It tells the story of Watanuki Kimihiro, a highschool student that is constantly troubled by the fact that he can see spirits. While trying to get rid of a spirit, he touches a fence that for some reason drives the spirit away. As Watanuki gets up, he sees a strange house behind the fence and for some reason, his legs start moving on their own towards the house.
Once inside, Watanuki meets Ichihara Yuuko, a mysterious woman who appears to be the owner of the house which appears to be some sort of shop. Yuuko tells Watanuki that the reason for him to be there is "hitsuzen" (inevitability), and explains that she is capable of granting wishes in exchange of rightful compensation. Without Watanuki saying anything, Yuuko tells him that she will grant his wish to stop seeing spirits and in exchange he will have to work as a part timer at the shop.
Thus begins Watanuki's job at Yuuko's mysterious shop, where ANYTHING can happen: from evil spirits, ghosts, and even an adorable black creature known as Mokona!! :3
