To those who were wondering, Tsubaki Nekoi was the one who got sick recently, which was sort of expected seeing how only XXXHOLiC's schedule was affected by it.

More details after the cut, taken from her Private Board.

( The Power of a Cold )

By the way, Young Magazine #10 is out today in Japan and XXXHOLiC is not carried in it. It'll be back on issue #12, out February 16.

On another note, NHK BShi channel will rebroadcast the anime of Card Captor Sakura starting on April 2. Guess they want to warm it up for Kobato. and the Blu-ray release of CCS ^^

First post of 2009! What an honor! xD 2009 is already among us, let's hope for the best!

And on this first day of the new year, I bring CLAMP new year's messages taken from their private boards.

( Tsubaki Nekoi )

( Mokona )

romanchan let me know about a couple of things I would like to share.

The first is a review of MUTUALITY: CLAMP works in CODE GEASS artbook. I haven't seen anywhere where you can download the full artbook (if you have, please let me know!_ but in this review there are a few pages in huge resolution (just download the 320 MB zip file).

The other thing is a trailer of Card Captor Sakura Blu-ray box that was shown in Comiket last year, the quality is not the best since it was cam-recorded.

The Clow arc will be released in March and Sakura arc in June.

The anime version of Card Captor Sakura will be released in Blu-ray format next year by Geneon Entertainment.

Card Captor Sakura - Clow Card - Blu-ray Box (episodes 1 to 46) will be released on March 27, 2009 (65,520 yens),

and

Card Captor Sakura - Sakura Card - Blu-ray Box (episodes 47 to 70) will be released on June 26, 2009 (39,480 yens).

This version will be a limited one and its production will last until March 2010.

Card Captor Sakura is the first CLAMP anime to be released in Blu-ray format.

Thank you romanchan for letting me know about it!

Not much going on except for chapter schedule updates ^^

( December Edition )

This is something that Ageha Ohkawa wrote in her Private Board of CLAMP-PLA.NET that I found interesting. It's a little foreshadowing of what's to come in Tsubasa. She posted it on June 2nd.

( DVD Ranking + pictures )

CDJAPAN has made the cover of the CLOVER DVD available in here. Way to go for them! XD


The Tsubasa/XXXHOLiC influence is evident, but at least the colors remain the same. The cover looks very pretty nonetheless ^___^ *nostalgic feelings*

The cover of Card Captor Sakura THE MOVIE COLLECTION DVD has also been announced by CDJAPAN in here.


Seems like Mokona hasn't lost her touch in drawing CCS!Sakura ^___^

Both DVDs are released on May 25th.

Last but not least, since a lot of people have asked me, Amazon.co.jp finally has the Tsubasa Artbook available for pre-order via this link.

A big thanks to clamp_now community for these news !

Tsubasa Artbook announced !

( Mid-February Edition )

It is with much pleasure that I announce that Bandai Visual will release the video-clip of CLOVER in DVD !

As you might well know, the video has never been released before in any format, so this will be the very first time.

FINALLY!! GREAT news, huh? ^__^ Now weird thoughts crossed my mind like "Does this mean CLAMP are planning on resuming CLOVER?... nah, we thought the same for X when they released Infinity Artbook... and here we are. They just want to release it it's own sake, after all they are releasing a special CCS box too... think they just got excited over CiW2... we'll see..."

No need to say that I was more than happy to know that CLAMP will be drawing the jacket illustrations, I'm assuming they are going to be brand-new ones, which means new CLOVER and CCS art ! ^__^

We're currently on such a good moment, lately, with all these surprising announcements ^^

A big, HUGE thanks to Tsuka for letting me know about this very exciting news !! He's the one who provided that ONE OF A KIND online version of the CLOVER video in the first place ^__^

...not much happening.

( Mid-January Edition )

Today is a day full of news and cool stuff ^__^

( April Edition )

( CLAMP ALBUM updates! )

( Sweet Valerian Scans )

Today is a very special day because is CLAMP's former 16th Anniversary---------------! Let's all worship our favorites authors and wish them luck, success and many realizations! Let's all hope this is only the beginning of CLAMP, that they will have a lot more anniversaries to celebrate ^__^

Also celebrating their birthdays are: CCS!Sakura, Tsubasa!Sakura, Watanuki Kimihiro and Tsubasa!Syaoran (knowing that Sakura-hime gave to him this birthday).
Happy Birthday to all of them!

Just to clarify, no, none of these news are some kind of "April's Fool joke" they are really true, at least from my part (if CLAMP is lying then I don't have anything to do with that XD)
