xxxHOLiC: Rei Volume 6 Special Edition Bundles 78-Card Tarot Set
The bundle turns the series' existing artwork into a full tarot deck rather than a set of extras, which ties the volume's sale to a collectible that cannot be bought on its own.
Reporting from 1 source: Nijimen.
The special edition of xxxHOLiC: Rei Volume 6 ships on November 6 with a tarot card set drawn from 78 illustrations in the series. The 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana came from xxxHOLiC artwork matched to the motifs of the original cards, with an instruction manual included. Ensky produces the cards. The standard edition costs 990 yen and releases the same day; the special edition costs 7,700 yen, both tax included.
The cards are not sold separately, so the special edition is the only way to get them. Ensky, which has worked on CLAMP Exhibition products, handled production. The 78 cards come from color and monochrome xxxHOLiC illustrations selected against the motifs of the original tarot deck, and the set includes an instruction manual aimed at readers who have never used tarot. The standard edition is 990 yen, the special edition 7,700 yen, both tax included, and both release on Friday, November 6.
