XXXHOLiC Rei volume 6 special edition to come with Tarot Cards deck

Kodansha is announcing that volume 6 of XXXHOLiC Rei will have a special limited edition that comes with a Tarot Cards deck.

The deck will include 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards with black and white and colored artwork extracted from XXXHOLiC that match the motifs of traditional tarot cards. The cards will be designed by Ensky, which is the company that worked on the CLAMP Exhibition goods.

This special edition will cost 7,700 yens and will be released on November 6th, same release date as the regular edition.

Source: Kodansha.

It’s just a given now that every XXXHOLiC Rei volume will come with a special edition. This might even extend to all new CLAMP releases from Kodansha.

That said, this looks like a cool thing to have, but I found it to be a little pricy. We’ll see how the deck will look like.

Kobato. is the 9th series of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION, first volume out in the Japanese Spring 2027

© CLAMP・Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD. / 角川書店

In an unexpected move, Kadowaka repeated its turn and the 9th title of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION series will be Kobato.! Following the original 6 volumes run, the first volume is scheduled for the Japanese Spring 2027.

【ニュース】CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION「こばと。」全6巻2027年春～夏頃に刊行決定カバーイラストは、CLAMPが描き下ろし予定詳細は決まり次第お知らせいたします#CLAMP

— CLAMP公式 (@clamp-official.bsky.social) 2026-09-10T04:01:01.547Z

The scheduled is expected to run from Spring to Summer, so we can expect a somewhat similar schedule to ANGELIC LAYER, which also had its first volume released in the Japanese Spring of this year.

Kobato. is usually associated with pink, but it has other colors as well… I have no idea what the cover designs will look like!

Although unexpected, this makes sense considering that Kadokawa has more titles than Kodansha. But this breaks the “rule” a little bit, so much that we are not so sure anymore which title will come next.

Remaining Kadokawa titles:

  • RG Veda
  • 20 Mensho ni Onegai!!
  • Gakuen Tokkei Duklyon
  • Miyuki-chan in Wonderland
  • Watashi no Suki na Hito
  • Wish
  • ‘Suki. Dakara Suki’
  • Gouhou Drug/Drug & Drop

Remaining Kodansha titles:

  • Cardcaptor Sakura
  • Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-
  • Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card
  • Tsubasa -WoRLD CHRoNiCLE- Nirai Kanai
  • XXXHOLiC Rei

Titles currently without a publisher:

  • Shin Shunkaden
  • Shirahime Syo
  • GATE 7

Although Kadokawa has still a lot of titles, many of them are either short or single volumes. It will be interesting to see if all of them will be indeed re-released in CPC format.

I somehow still think they will leave Tsubasa for last, or something like that.

XXXHOLiC Rei volume 6 release date

We finally have a release date for volume 6 of XXXHOLiC Rei!

According to Kodansha, volume 6 of XXXHOLiC Rei will be released on November 6th.

At the moment, only a regular edition is listed. It’s unclear whether a special limited edition will be released as well, like the previous four volumes.

Source: Kodansha. Thank you Shari07 for the heads up!

Volume 6 will come out practically a year after volume 5. In fact, volume 5 was originally scheduled for November 6th, 2025, but was it was later postponed to November 29th.

I think they will release Kodansha’s next CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION title (whether it’s Cardcaptor Sakura or Tsubasa) around the same time, if not on the same date. Although, one could argue that CLAMP are taking longer breaks between each CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION release, so the 9th title could be released only in 2027, but it’s hard to think that Kodansha would miss an opportunity to make a big combo release in November like they did last year with XXXHOLiC Rei, CLOVER and the Nakayoshi calendars coming out in the same month.

At least now we have a release date!

ANGELIC LAYER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) vol. 5 cover

© CLAMP・Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD. / 角川書店

The volume 5 cover of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of ANGELIC LAYER has been announced!

No surprises for the final cover. We all anticipated Athena would be there, but I also imagined that CLAMP would surprise us, but no 🙂

Athena looks so elegant! You can really see the difference in height comparing to Hikaru 🙂

Volume 5 will be released on September 10th.

This concludes ANGELIC LAYER‘s turn in CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION. It was a great ride. I loved every single cover illustration. It was an amazing opportunity seeing these characters again!

The next CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION title should be announced sometime soon and it will be one from Kodansha. It will either be Cardcaptor Sakura or Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-. Personally, I think it’s going to be Cardcaptor Sakura.

CLAMP illustration for the Yosakoi Kochi Cultural Festival 2026 revealed!

Back in April it was announced that CLAMP have been commissioned to draw a special illustration for the Yosakoi Kochi Cultural Festival 2026, a festival themed on traditional performing arts.

Today, a little over two months before the festival, the illustration was finally revealed!

The illustration looks so pretty! I’m in love! As I expected, they delivered a very colorful illustration.

I can see that CLAMP were careful enough to include in the illustration several elements that represent the city of Kochi. The city faces the Pacific Ocean, which is why they added an anchor and the waves akin to the famous woodblock painting “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. The girl is holding “naruko” in her hands, small wooden clappers that are held when performing the traditional “yosakoi” dance. Moreover, the Kochi Castle can be seen in the background and the clothes that both characters are wearing are, of course, heavily inspired by the local cultural attires.

The illustration will be used in promotional materials and original merchandise. There are also plans to exhibit it as original replica, since the painting was made digitally for this particular illustration.

The festival will be held from October 25th to December 6th in the city of Kochi.

The volume 4 cover of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of ANGELIC LAYER has been announced!

As expected. we have Wizard with Misaki and Hikaru! I thought volume 3 might have started a new pattern of having 3 angels, but no… Wizard looks great here!

Looking forward to the 5th and final cover! I have a feeling we might get a surprise… apart from Athena, maybe Shuko will join too?

Volume 4 will be released on August 10th.

Here’s the schedule of ANGELIC LAYER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION):

Volume 5: September 10th
