10 years after the events of xxxHOLiC Shunmuki, a melancholic Kimihiro Watanuki has taken over the shop formerly run by the mysterious Yuuko due to a promise he made to her. His companions Maru, Moro, and Mokona live together with him in relative contentment, and some familiar faces arrive every now and then: former rival turned-steadfast friend Shizuka Doumeki, and the former psychic prodigy Kohane Tsuyuri. While Kohane studies folklore under Doumeki at university, they encounter a case that is perfect for the master of the shop.
Eventually, Watanuki receives a visit from Doumeki's grandfather, Haruka. He requests that Watanuki investigates his grandson's dreams. While inside the dream world, he discovers how their past adventures played out from Doumeki's perspective of view, leading Watanuki to discover truths from 10 years ago and secrets about the ties that bind their friendship.

Where it came from
xxxHOLiC Rou is a two-part original video animation series released in 2010 by Studio Production I.G, serving as a continuation of the xxxHOLiC television anime adaptations. The project was conceived to bridge the narrative gap between the conclusion of the original anime and the deeper, more complex shifts in tone found in the latter half of the CLAMP manga series. It depicts the maturation of Kimihiro Watanuki as he takes over Yuko Ichihara’s shop, marking a transition into a more melancholic and ethereal atmosphere that reflects the evolution of the source material.
The visual design remains faithful to the distinct aesthetic established by the CLAMP creative collective, characterized by elongated character proportions and intricate, flowing linework. Production I.G maintained the series' signature use of heavy shadows and traditional Japanese motifs to evoke a sense of otherworldly dread and supernatural mystery. Upon its release, the OVA was received as a poignant epilogue for dedicated fans, praised for its faithful adherence to the source material's somber tone and its technical polish in animating the shifting, dream-like sequences central to the narrative.
