xxxHOLiC: Rei Volume 6 arrives on November 6 in two editions, with a special edition that includes a 78-card tarot set drawn from the series' artwork. The manga also signaled a move toward its final battle in its latest magazine tease.
xxxHOLiC: Rei ran in Young Magazine irregularly since 2013, but the stories now point toward a conclusion. The 29th issue of Kodansha's Young Magazine teased that Watanuki is planning a strategy for the final battle, after the sequel resumed in April 2025 following a delay. Kodansha released the fifth compiled volume on November 29, 2025.
Volume 6 is the next step in publishing. The standard edition costs 990 yen and releases on November 6. The special edition costs 7,700 yen, both tax included, and adds a tarot card set drawn from 78 illustrations in the series, with the 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana matched to the motifs of the original cards. Ensky produces the cards, and an instruction manual is included.
Coverage across the two stories tracks the same closing stretch: the manga enters its final battle while the collected volumes keep coming, and the special edition ties the volume purchase to a collectible that cannot be bought on its own.
