review 1: The storyline jumps ahead 10 years, and besides Watanuki's increase in power nothing seems to have changed. Customers are still coming to the store and Watanuki is still completing their wishes - though he does seem to be taking his responsiblities more seriously since he has the power to grant increasingly complicated wishes. The first customer that he has in this book is a dead child (super creepy) whom he and Domeki must protect until it crosses over the rainbow bridge. The story isn't that complicated, but the themes of crossing the Bridge into the afterlife are sue to be recurring in the final/next book. The other customer is a rather crazy woman who wants Watanuki to make Domeki fall in love with her. Of the two customers, she is the oddest in my opinion, and I am gl... moread that Watanuki refuses to grant her wish while her body and soul are separated.
review 2: Fantastic. There are no words that could describe just how much I love this series. This volume - just like volume 17 - is set after the ending if "Tsubasa Chronicle", the manga series that ran parallel to this one. Volume 18 takes place five to ten years later but where Domeki is aging, Watanuki is not and as Watanuki's powers are growing stronger, Domeki can't help but feel more and more protective of him because Watanuki seems to be more and more disconnected from reality since he can't leave the shop and travels only in his dreams. I love, really love the current setting - the story takes place almost exclusively in the shop and it focuses on Watanuki and Domeki and on the choices they make and it's truly, truly wonderful! There's only one more volume left and that knowledge's breaking my heart... less
