Rin appears in Yūko's shop complaining of stiffness in her pinky finger. Yūko informs Rin that this is due to a "bad habit" the woman has, though Rin adamantly denies any sort of bad habit. Her denial causes a stream of black smoke entwined with the finger to become visible to both Yūko and Watanuki, revealing that her bad habit is that she is a compulsive liar. Yūko provides Rin with a ring that would supposedly alleviate her discomfort, but Rin goes back into her life and continues lying, rendering the ring useless. She becomes discontent with the ring, removing it while crossing the street, and the black smoke caused from her lies engulfs her entire body, causing her to become stuck in the middle of the crosswalk directly in the path of an oncoming truck.   ~!In the manga, she is unable to avoid the truck, and is killed.!~   ~!In the anime, she survives being hit by the truck and learns to change her ways.!~

Watanuki Kimihiro can see spirits and other assorted supernatural creatures, which is quite a bothersome ability he strongly dislikes. On the way home one day, while plagued by some spirits, he is inexplicably compelled to enter a strange house. There, he encounters Yuuko, a mysterious woman who claims to be able to rid him of the ability to see and attract the troublesome creatures – for a price. She demands for him to work at her "store" that grants wishes to people, and thus begins Watanuki's adventures through weird and wonderful events.

Notes: 
- The series was re-named to xxxHolic&bull;Rou on chapter title pages of chapter 186 and on, but not on their volume's front covers, spines and indicia. 
- The chapter count contains a one-shot published in May 2010 to commemorate the switch, which was later collected into Volume 18. 
- The chapter count also reflects the magazine releases; the chapters plus the one-shot were re-arranged into 109 chapters across 19 volumes.
