Notes:
The series was re-named to xxxHolic•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.
