| Anne as Ichihara Yuko in xxxHOLIC |
I’ve always been a big fan of pretty actress ANNE, and her latest horror drama xxxHOLIC is truly a BLESSING for the fanboy in me- Anne looks just FANTASTIC in this show! Her portrayal of the mysterious "dimensional witch" Ichihara Yuko is unlike any I’d ever seen her play before-so beautiful and sexy, kind of like her gothic look in Yoake Ningen Bem, but supercharged with this underlying hotness, a combination that could give Elvira a run for her money!
The story of xxxHOLIC is the tale of a boy named Kimihiro (played by Shota Sometani) who can see spirits a la THE SIXTH SENSE, and one day as he meanders on home, he happens to take a step off the beaten path and somehow arrives at an old seemingly abandoned house, where he is confronted by two enthusiastic girls who takes him to meet their master, the svelte Anne herself, whom they say is a good witch of this world.

He soon finds that this curious house is in fact a store of sorts- various people in need find their way to the establishment where Yuko offers to give them whatever wish their heart desires…for an exacting price, some of which we find very heavy indeed! After seeing what she can do, Kimihiro decides to ask her to make his visions of dead people go away, and at that, Yuko invites him to come work for her until the value of his wish is attained!

From there, as you may have guessed, the show turns rather episodic, with each chapter featuring a new “client” with another strange spiritual malady, but make no mistake, the CLEAR star of the show is beautiful Anne, each scene showcasing her awesome looks and featuring her in the most fetching (and, truth be told, cleavage-revealing) outfits ever!
So far, it’s a fun, magical ride-Along with Anne and Sometani Shota, the regular cast is rounded out with Masahiro Higashide and adorable Karen Miyazaki as his two only school friends, Domeki and Himawari, who each have their own mysterious secrets to be brought forth in the course of time…and judging by the cast listing in dramawiki, there’ll be even MORE names added to the cast as the show goes on!
