Not much happening these days, huh?
Thanks for everybody who checks this livejournal daily in the hope to see CLAMP news, because we have some today!
As you may or may not remember, last year Kadokawa re-released some of CLAMP's classic titles under a series called CLAMP CLASSIC COLLECTION. For those who purchased all volumes, special boxes to store all volumes featuring new CLAMP illustrations were given as a bonus.
Even though the last volume of the series came out in November of 2012, only now the boxes have been sent out to the people who earned them.
Here are a few pictures from the 3 exclusive boxes, featuring 3 brand new drawings by CLAMP (click on the picture to enlarge it):
I was starting to think these boxes would never see the light of the day! I'm glad to see them -- and the new drawings!
There is also a new Kobato. illustration!
CLAMP made this drawing as a gift for Kana Hanazawa’s (Kobato’s seiyuu) first concert. It is part of the contents of the concert's special pamphlet.

Did you all enjoy this year's amazing April Fools joke elaborated by CLAMP? That sure was fun!
Some kind soul from tumblr translated all of yesterday's Twitter activity from CLAMP's official account, where details from this parallel story set in a business office were revealed. Check it out here. Some of them are really amusing!
And since it's no longer April 1st in Japan, CLAMP-NET.COM no longer shows the special page that was available for the occasion. Instead, it now shows a "coming soon" image revealing that the website will be officially open in May!

Yes! Can't wait! =)
My guess is that they hired a new company to be in charge of their website and mobile services (the 404 pages look different than they used to look! xD), hence why the site had to be taken down temporarily.
Also I wonder if they really did create a company called ShigatsuTsuitachi CO., LTD?

CLAMP's official website, CLAMP-NET.COM, has been relaunched to celebrate April 1st.
The website now mimics the behaviour of a company website named Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD, with CLAMP's characters as employees of that "company". "Shigatsu Tsuitachi" means April 1st in Japanese.
The "company" is supposedly recruiting employers for 2014, apparently only people who were born on April 1st are allowed.

The website is offering a wallpaper featuring the same illustration used in the homapage and a tumbler template featuring the company's mascot, April Dog.
CLAMP's Official Twitter account has been redesign as well to follow the website's new look.
It all looks like a April Fools' joke, and everything might be taken down on April 2nd, so make sure to grab the extras quickly before they are taken down ;)
I hope the "real" CLAMP-NET.COM will be launched on April 2nd, or maybe new information will be added progressively to this site? Either way, CLAMP certainly presented us with a real treat of an illustration.
HAPPY CLAMP DAY in advance! =)

Chinese scans are available here (thanks to Jacob Collado for letting me know ;).
Japanese RAWs available here (NEW LINK thanks to
yaoixalchemist!). I couldn't download the file, though. It is terribly slow and it stopped halfway through. If someone manages to do it, feel free to upload somewhere and let me know.
Rough translations by bluesun available here.

GATE 7 #4 dropped to the 18th position on Oricon's Weekly Charts on its second week of sales, the position that was occupied by Drug & Drop last week:
02/11/2013~02/17/2013:
1st - FAIRY TAIL #36
2nd - Kuroko no Basket #21
3rd - WORST #31
18th - GATE 7 #4
Unfortunately, Drug & Drop didn't show up in the top 30.
According to Oricon, GATE 7 #4 sold additional 33.923 copies on its second week of sales, which means an accumulated of 173.686 copies sold so far.
It is unlikely that GATE 7 #4 will show up on next week's ranking, but I'll make a post if that happens.
On other news, there was a press conference held at the XXXHOLiC theme cafe yesterday to release the TV Drama adaptation to the press. Director Keisuke Toyoshima and main cast Anne (Yuuko) and Sometani Shota (Watanuki) attended the event.
There are several reports from that press conference on the web, here are a few of them:
yomiuri.co.jp
WOWOW
animeanime.jp
Cinema Today
Amazon.co.jp has a page with XXXHOLiC products on sale, there is a video with comments from the TV Drama director Keisuke Toyoshima.
