CLAMP NEWS !

April has come and here are this month’s news.


Tsubasa:

– Next chapters scheduled (red means new):

03/29 – Shonen Magazine #17 – Chapter 110 (on sale).
04/05 – Shonen Magazine #18 – Chapter 111.
04/12 – Shonen Magazine #19 – Chapter 112.
04/19 – Shonen Magazine #20 – Chapter 113 – Tsubasa will feature the front cover.
04/26 – Shonen Magazine #21 & 22 – Chapter 114.

Yay for the cover, it was about time !

– The covers of vol 14 have been announced:

Since we had Syaoran and Kurogane on the previous one, now we have Syaoran and Fye. Nice cover. Fye using gun is always a pleasure to see, and I loved the texture of their clothes too. Do I spot some bats in the background?
Now, RYU-OU on the cover of the deluxe edition was so unexpected ! Maybe it’s because we had Souma on the previous one.

– The cover of that BEST SELECTION book is here.

– New anime season, not-so-new staff.

The director, Koichi Mashimo, will remain in this charge, but will be sharing it with Hiroshi Morioka (two directors, yeah). He’s not that new, he was already the director’s assistant and he did the storyboard for episodes 1, 10 and 12 and directed numbers 1, 6 and 12. Episode 12 is totally his episode then, it was the one of the country with the big lake.

The other staff members are the same from season 1.
A BUNCH of animate goods is going to be on sale soon, it’s all old pics, but they’re all neat and text-less. So I highly hope we can see those scanned soon.

  2. Hey, just added your journal because you have lots of awesome Tsubasa/xxxHOLiC/X news. I just want to say thanks for all the news you provide! It’s really helpful!

    I just saw the preview for the xxxHOLiC anime and am so excited ^___^

    • Ow that’s very flattering, thank you very much ! And you’re welcome for everything !
      Nice to meet you ^___^

      >I just saw the preview for the xxxHOLiC anime and am so excited ^___^
      I know ! Finally >.< The song is so good ! I know it's just a promo in a streaming website, but I can't deny I thought the animation would be better.

      • I was practially foaming at the mouth with excitement when I stumbled across your journal and saw you host a site with Tsubasa & xxxHOLiC raws and that there are translations available and spent the entire day afterwards catching up, because I didn’t have to wait for scanlations (which I truly appreciate but they take a while to get them up!). I very nearly cried because all the X characters were there (except Subaru, but KAMUI! FUUMA! Everyone!) So yeah. That was me being a little overzealous in my joy :> So a billion thanks again.

        Hm. Well, as long as they stay true to the spirit of the story, I’ll be extremely happy either way (and has a great soundtrack!)

        • Oh I don’t mind all the joy, no ^__^ I’m very grateful that you appreciate my LJ, yay ! ^__^

          That’s for sure ! And I am bound to love it since Ohkawa-sensei is writting it ^^”

  3. Arigato! O_O Ryuu-ou looks so cool… ^_^

    Happy birthday to Clamp! I don’t know if this counts, but today is also Seishirou’s “birthday”. Well, not really. In TB, he uses Apr 1st as his birthday in a fortune compatibility test with Subaru… of course, later Seishirou reveals it isn’t his real birthday and repriminds an unconscious Subaru for being smart enough to not use the his real place of birth, yet naive enough to use his real birthday…

    I guess Subaru didn’t listen to Yuuko back in the day.

    Speaking of Yuuko, that xxxHOLIC preview is awesome. Watanuki makes me laugh every time.

  4. Ah! So it’s CLAMP’s anniversary? Is that why everyone’s birthday is today? So ka. It all makes sense now… 🙂

  5. Bu–but—WHY?!

    *pulls hair*

    Even KYLE will get a cover before Clow at this pace, dammit!

    Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

    For me, new director for Tsubasa Crapnicle = double the mess. Nice to know you, Tsubasa. It’s been great seeing shirtless!King Touya fanservice; the rest, no so much.

    Anime looks quite nice, although Yuuko still doesn’t look pretty, the recycling of kimono disturbs me, and I’m getting the feeling black Mokona will permanently be OOC. The opening sounds good, although I wanted something with a bit more beat. It’s a tad slow for an opening.

    Like

    • And speaking of Mokona, am I the only one anxious because it’s awaken at the FIRST episode?!

      Details like this preview, still of making me happy like the rest of my fandom, is turning me against Production I.G by playing with canon chronology too damn much.

      Like

      • I’m curious to see how they are gonna introduce Mokona.

        I totally give up on the covers xDDD All I know now is that Kamui (and maybe Fuuma) is getting one. The rest is uncertain to me xD Did you ever consider if CLAMP decides not to make one with Clow? O.o

        Totally agree on Yuuko, she’s still not -there-. As for the recycling Kimono, it’s right to re-use it since it was in the manga. The movie is the problem, we should have had a different one for the movie.

        • If they don’t want to do his cover, then why the fuck are they wasting their time by putting him in splashes. I mean, after all, who cares about parents?

          Next cover will have… *thinks of something random* Primera!

          • I know >> It’s just that, he should be there already !

              Ryuu-oh.

              Then next one… or Yasha-oh or Kendappa-oh Amaterasu mikado.

              They’re in the fucking RG Veda batch! Duh! then why didn’t they do all CCS crossover covers one after the other?!

              Why isn’t there a Kujaku crossover? T___T

                I know, that’s very weird since he’s such a CLAMP favorite. I do think we’ll be seeing him soon, though.

                And I think maybe Kendappa will have her own cover too O.o If things continue RG Veda-esque like they currently are.

                Like

                  • Yeah, though I’m reading RG Veda at the moment (1 volume to go) and the Tsubasa AshuraxYahah-ou arc is starting to disturb me… seriously they were like father and son. ;_; I miss young Ashura. I Also just realised that Fai’s Ashura is the fater and Yasha’s is the son O.o I never though about that :D.
                    Quite random of them to bring back the characters and put them on the tsubasa covers. After this its the X people O.o.
                    Kendappa makes for a prettier, CLAMPier cover than Ashura-ou.

                    Like

                    • Yeah, I never liked Ashura/Yasha (any of them) for the same reason. It is creepy. Not the creepiest pairing of the lot -I don’t know if you’ve seen the Ashura-oh backstory yet, or if it comes in the last volume, but that’s even creepier than Yasha-oh’s pedophilia).

                      I’m afraid you’re not going to dig the ending. I had some serious headwalls when I first read it. You’ll see.

                    • Yea finished it last night. Ashura-ou had some *cough* interesting relationships. Nah I dont like the ending, lets just say theyre together forever as father and son O.o. Plus Ashura is still acting like a child

                    • Well, the RGV ending could be interpreted in a platonic way, but after CLAMP made them a canon couple in TRC… *cringes*

                      Without spoiling the ending to any who read Yuuto-kun’s journal… I’m a Kujaku fangirl, so it made the ending worse for me ;______; You. Idiot. Kujaku!

                      Like

                    • yeah I liked him too, I love the omake where Aushua is makes Kujaku
                      and Yasha sleep either side of him because he “Always wanted to sleep
                      between his parents” lol! Ashura-chan is so cute ^^.
                      Hey was Ashura a girl or a guy in TRC anyway? I was kinda like
                      “Girl… guy?…*RGV* ok guy… but Ashura-chan was hermaphrodite…
                      so it could still be guy or a girl in AU” Yes TRC!Ashura was very fem
                      but also rather… uh “flat” >.>. I’m saying guy.

                      Like

                    • In the Spanish translations, they had Ashura as a guy. Which is odd, considering the same editorial did RG Veda, and they had Ashura as a GIRL there. Oh well.

  6. Oh wow, thanks for this news! ^^ The covers look very nice~ And the xxxHOLIC preview! Wheeee! I still don’t really like Yuuko’s animation that much, but it still looks pleasurable. I love the song.

    Thanks again! 😀

  7. Any of the ones with the little semi-holes in the upper right hand corner are clear files (basically two large sheets of plastic that fit together, but they’re like a file folder – you can fit a few sheets of paper inside.) I have 2 for TRC and 1 for xxxHolic, very high quality. I’ll definitely have to snag some of these.
