Publishing company Kodansha announced on Thursday that manga artist group CLAMP's xxxHOLiC: Rei (xxxHOLiC Rei) manga will resume serialization in Weekly Young Magazine's 21st issue on April 21.

A sequel to xxxHOLiC, the xxxHOLiC: Rei manga began in Weekly Young Magazine in March 2013. After a nine-month hiatus from July 2014 to April 2015, it continued on an irregular schedule, with the most recent chapter released in March 2017. Although CLAMP announced in April 2022 that the manga would resume in Spring 2023, this did not materialize. Kodansha published the fourth and latest volume in October 2016.

The original xxxHOLiC manga ran in Weekly Young Magazine from February 2003 to March 2010 before transferring to Bessatsu Shounen Magazine under the title xxxHolic: Rou, where it concluded in February 2011. Kodansha compiled the series into 19 volumes, released between July 2003 and March 2011.

Production I.G produced xxxHOLiC Movie: Manatsu no Yoru no Yume (xxxHOLiC The Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream) in August 2005. The first television anime premiered in 24 episodes in Spring 2006, followed by a 13-episode second season in Spring 2008, and four original video anime episodes between February 2009 and March 2011.

WOWOW Prime aired an eight-episode live-action television drama from February to April in 2013 under the title CLAMP DramaHolic: xxxHOLiC. The drama series featured several differences from the original manga. A stage play adaptation ran from September 17–26 in Tokyo and October 1–3 in Kyoto in 2021. A live-action movie opened in Japan in April 2022.

Del Rey licensed the manga in English in January 2004 and published all 19 volumes between April 2004 and February 2012. Kodansha USA relicensed the title in July 2013 and released the volumes in omnibus editions from March 2014 to September 2015. The fourth xxxHOLiC: Rei volume shipped in August 2017.
