The covers of volumes 8 and 9 of X for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition have been announced!
I guessed right! Satsuki and Yuuto =) They actually look great? They haven’t been much affected by the current art style (a bit, yeah but they still look hot). Unlike Sorata and Arashi, they are both wearing clothes that they are wearing often in the manga.
Love the details in the back. Mokona-sensei draws water like no one else *-*
Happy to see a new color illustration of Youth 🙂
For the first time, I don’t have a favorite between the two. I like both equally.
My next guess would be Yuzuriha and Kusanagi.
Here’s the upcoming schedule for CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION of X:
June 2: vols 8 & 9
July 4: vols 10 & 11
August 4: vols 12 & 13
September 4: vols 14 & 15
October 4: vols 16 & 17
November 4: vols 18 & 18.5

The fourteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ dropped to the 12th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 34,423 copies sold in its second week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Acrylic Charms) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
Combing the sales of weeks one and two, it sold an estimate of 75,315 copies overall. This is the lowest overall sales by the second week for a Clear Card volume yet, although figures for the Special Edition and preorders are unknown.
Please note that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

I don’t think it will make it to week 3, but we’ll see.
The fourteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ debuted at the 5th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 40,892 copies sold in its first week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Acrylic Charms) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
This is the second lowest sales for a first week, only behind the first week sales of volume 12 (49,816 copies).
However, it is worth mentioning two points: 1) volume 14 was released on March 31st and the ranking is up until April 2nd, meaning that volume 14 had only 3 days of actual sales out of a full week. Taking that into consideration, it had a decent run. Still, previous volumes of Clear Card went through a similar scenario and still had a better sales performance in their first week; and 2) The first 4 titles are not published by Kodansha, meaning Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ volume 14 was this week’s most sold title published by Kodansha.
Finally, it is always worth mentioning that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

Let’s hope it will make it to its second week.
The covers of volumes 6 and 7 of X for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition have been announced!
Sorata and Arashi! With their respective volume colors and both wearing their religious ceremonial clothes. The background also has a religious motif. This confirms my theory that the covers will come with characters as “pairs” — not necessarily couples and not necessarily one Dragon of Heaven and one Dragon of Earth, either (as proven by these covers)!
This time, I think I liked Sorata’s one better.
My next guess would be Yuuto and Satsuki.
Here’s the upcoming schedule for CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION of X:
May 2: vols 6 & 7
June 2: vols 8 & 9
July 4: vols 10 & 11
August 4: vols 12 & 13

The covers of volumes 4 and 5 of X for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition have been announced!
We have Hinoto and Kanoe this time, which were from volumes 2 and 3 in the original series.
The covers are somewhat mirrored and, contrary to what the first three covers seemed to indicate, Kamui is not in either of them! So there isn’t like a “rule” in which Kamui must appear in all covers. Surprising!
I think from now on CLAMP will play around with this mirrored/paired concept. It makes sense to have Kotori paired with Fuuma and Hinoto paired with Kanoe. We will probably be seeing more “pairs” such as Seishirou and Subaru, Karen and Aoki, Yuzuriha and Kusanagi, Arashi and Sorata, Satsuki and Yuuto, and so forth.
Again they are respecting the “color” of each volume (purple for Hinoto and green for Kanoe), not only in the font color, but also their clothes.
As far as I see, there are no elements from the tarot cards, so I really think CLAMP are not too attached to this concept for the CPC covers at all.
Of course, as expected, Kanoe’s design in the current art style has the biggest impact.
I quite like the golden pattern in the back and I am really excited to see what they will look like for the next covers. Plus, they look prettier printed than digital (it has a small glossy/shiny effect in the print version).
Here’s the full CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION schedule for X:
April 3: vols 4 & 5
May 2: vols 6 & 7
June 2: vols 8 & 9
July 4: vols 10 & 11
August 4: vols 12 & 13
September 4: vols 14 & 15
October 4: vols 16 & 17
November 4: vols 18 & 18.5
