Ah, the end of the year, always so packed of news xD
As I said, not much news at this time of the year, in fact, we even got 2 chapter cancellations.

– Next chapters scheduled (red means new):
11/29 – Shonen Magazine #52 – No Tsubasa scheduled (on sale).
12/06 – Shonen Magazine #1 – Chapter 137.
12/13 – Shonen Magazine #2 & #3 – No Tsubasa scheduled (CLAMP changed that, chapter 138 was supposed to come out here).
12/27 – Shonen Magazine #4 & #5 – Chapter 138.
Can you handle 20 days without Tsubasa? =\
Book:
I checked Kodansha’s list of books scheduled for January and Tsubasa is not there. So we’ll only get volume 18 in February or March.

– Next chapters scheduled (red means new):
11/27 – Young Magazine #52 – Chapter 124 (on sale).
12/04 – Young Magazine #1 – No XXXHOLiC scheduled (CLAMP changed that, chapter 125 was supposed to come out here).
12/11 – Young Magazine #2 & #3 – Chapter 125.
12/25 – Young Magazine #4 & #5 – Chapter 126.
They deserve vacations, right? xD Let they spend some time in Okinawa ^^

CLAMP New Year’s Party ~ Four citizens of Special New Year’s food fortress~
If you were planning to go to see CLAMP on their New Year’s event but still haven’t got your ticket, I’m sorry to say it but it’s too late, you can’t go anymore because the tickets are all sold out. Pity, isn’t it? Yeah, and I was really planning to go
I know they must have ran out of tickets only a few hours after being available for purchase in the first place, because I checked Yahoo Auctions on Monday (just 1 day after the sale date) and I already saw people auctioning their tickets for 10.000 yens !!! (The original price was 1.900 yens). Who would buy tickets with such an expensive price when you could get one for a much cheaper price? So I thought “Must have ran out”.
You can still apply for it if you want, it’s currently at 16.500 yens ^^;;;; Anyone?
At least I hope the CLAMP-PLA.NET staff will cover the event.
CLAMP on The New York Times
Back in July when CLAMP attended to Anime Expo they were interviewed by The New York Times. I thought I had missed it or it was only published on paper or even that the interview was dis-considered. But nearly 5 months later, the article finally shows up !
You can read the article, with some quotations of Ohkawa, here.
The article itself is not really revealing and it’s more aimed for those who never heard of CLAMP rather than fans, but it’s still worth checking because it is very well-written, the author really got my respect for exploring one of the points I admire the most about CLAMP: their diversity.
Besides, it’s the most famous newspaper in the whole world, and CLAMP got an article on it (even if it’s only in their website, as far as I know). Congratulations to them ! ^__^
Thanks for everybody who let me know about this news ! ^__^
Code Geass:
On my previous CLAMP NEWS !! post I mentioned that CLAMP would draw the Box that will hold all 9 Code Geass DVDs. Apart from that, it has been announced that CLAMP will draw a 4-frames comic that will come with the DVDs #4 (out on April 25th) and #7 (out on July 27th), one for each volume.
4-frames comic? I’ll be expecting one of those comedy short strips ^^”
