CLAMP NEWS !!

11/10 – Newtype #12 – Drop. 2. (on sale)
12/10 – Newtype #01 – Drop. 3.
01/10 – Newtype #01 – Drop. 4.

Great, four chapters in a row 🙂

– Next scheduled chapters (red means new):

11/14 – Shonen Magazine #50 – Chapter 173 (on sale).
11/21 – Shonen Magazine #51 – Chapter 174 – Last chapter of tankoubon 22.
11/28 – Shonen Magazine #52 – No Tsubasa scheduled.
12/05 – Shonen Magazine #01 – Chapter 175 – Beginning of tankoubon 23, color page(s).

After 8 chapters in a row, the break was expected, but the serialization is back again on the following issue. Unfortunately there’s no word on the exact number of color pages to feature on Chapter 175.

– Next scheduled chapters (red means new):

11/12 – Young Magazine #50 – Chapter 145 – Beginning of tankoubon 13 – 4 color pages (on sale).
11/19 – Young Magazine #51 – Chapter 146.
11/26 – Young Magazine #52 – No XXXHOLiC scheduled.
12/03 – Young Magazine #01 – No XXXHOLiC scheduled.

Now that the links between Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC are getting thicker, the pace of XXXHOLiC’s serialization is going to be really slow. We should be patient ^^”

• Featuring CLAMP:

Wired Magazine has published an article about manga culture and it’s industry. The article featured a short interview with Ageha Ohkawa of CLAMP and her thoughts on doujinshis, which can be checked near the end of the article.

• Featuring CLAMP:

A special talk between Ageha Ohkawa and Shouko Nagakawa (“Shouko-tan”) will be published in the 75th issue of Quick Japan magazine. The talk is entitled “JoJo Bizarre Adventure ~ The culture of the ‘JOJO’ name” (or something around these lines ^^”), so we can safely assume it’s going to be centered on JoJo Bizarre Adventure.

You may remember Shouko-tan from the Wanna Gonna show when she visited CLAMP’s studio earlier this year.

The magazine goes on sale on December 10th.

• Books:

Satsuki Igarashi is going to write an essay for the reprint of Kami no Moribito (Guardian of the God) novel. The novel is part of the Moribito series written by Nahoko Uehashi.

The book will be released on January 2008.

• Event:

A booth showing original silver accessories designed by CLAMP (more specifically, Mokona) will be featured on the JAPAN EXPO 2007 event, to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from December 1st to 2nd.

This collection is also known as CLAMP’s Silver Powder, and it’s available for purchase at CLAMP-PLA.NET’s Mail Order (although I believe it’s restricted to the japanese territory). More pictures here.

• Event:

A new exposition, this time, the renewed version of the famous Girl’s Power! Shoujo Manga! exposition, which has traveled from Japan to America over the past years. The new version comes back to Japan, now at the Kawasaki City Museum, being held from February 16th to March 30th.

The exposition has a new name, Shoujo Manga Power! Tsuyoku, Yashashiku, Utsukushiku (Strong, Kind, Beautiful) and features original illustrations of many different Shoujo mangas, five of which were done by CLAMP.

  1. Yo, Chibi-Yuuto!! Genki desu ka! ^^ Thank you so much for the latest CLAMP news and updates. Now, let’s see what we have here… *giggles*

    Of course, I have a feeling that the next chapter of TRC will be finishing with a big cliffhanger. I just hope that the next chapter shows whose freakin’ hand is that!! O__o As for HOLiC, another breaker… and I understand that it needs to keep up with TRC’s pace. So it’s all right. ^^

    Wow, I would like to see a report of the Japan Expo about the accessories. I’m sure that it will be so lovely!! Kirei! ^///^ HOLY MOKONA!! After checking out the pictures, they are definitely such adorable things!! TOTAL LOVE!!! *bliss*

    It’s official: Tsubasa – Tokyo Revelations OAD is finally out (well, it is already out in Japan XDDD)!! I can’t wait to see if you are going to release a commentary report for that if you see it! >///<

    Hontou arigatou gozaimasu for the Mid-November CLAMP news and updates.
    Ureshii desu wa! *gives a big glomp attack*

    Ki o tsukete, Chibi-Yuuto!
    Nyanko-san ^__^

    • Yeah, from now on, following XXXHOLiC is going to be a “taihen” task ^^” I’m more and more sure XXXHOLiC will end with 14 volumes everytime it gets delayed like that.

      >Wow, I would like to see a report of the Japan Expo about the accessories.

      Me too! If someone lives in Los Angeles and could write a report for us, that would be really amazing ^^

      >It’s official: Tsubasa – Tokyo Revelations OAD is finally out (well, it is already out in Japan XDDD)!! I can’t wait to see if you are going to release a commentary report for that if you see it! >///<

      It's really official, the waiting is over (at least for this first OAD XD). And I sure will write something about it (I just have to!).

      You are welcome for the news, of course!

        It’s too bad the Expo is on the 1st and the 2nd, since I have a tradeshow at the LA Convention Center starting on the 4th! Sometimes, depending on the size of the convention, events run at the same time, but not this time. :<

        As for Tsubasa, I think it will only be a one-page color this time around. It's listed as "E-tobira," which only refers to the opening page.

        My Tsubasa hasn't shipped yet from Japan, but hopefully soon. It doesn't look like there are any shortages…

        • I hope we can find someone who can attend the LA event u.u

          Well, last time they also omitted the number of pages, and in the end, it turned out to be 3 color pages. Let’s wait and see ^^

  2. Thanks so much, yet again! XD

    Awww, Holic’s return was so short lived. I do suppose yes, it’s to be expected if it’s so synchronized with Tsubasa now though D: *angst*

  3. Thank you so much for the information!

    Damn, more breaks for Holic… I’m sure no one minds filler chapters with Yuuko being vague and awesome, right?

    TRC is finally taken a break. It seems ages, from the last one.

    • It’s probably because Tsubasa needs to catch up with XXXHOLiC (XXXHOLiC is such a rushy xDDDD)

      >TRC is finally taken a break. It seems ages, from the last one.

      8 chapters in a row! That’s so delicious xD CLAMP is being pressured by the OADs and XXXHOLiC, I don’t see major breaks for volume 23 either ^^

      >CLAMP silver powder is love! *__*

      I love how they name their merchandise xD

  5. You’re welcome, Kiki-chan, you know it’s my pleasure ^__^

    Ha! Hope you get your copy soon! I can’t wait for the torrent *-*

    A lot of “ETC” stuff going on, which is expected since we are approaching the end of the year ^^

    >I always feel like I’m lagging behind. @w@;;

    I know~ you’re not the only one xD There’s simply so many things going on at the same time, blink and miss it ^^

  6. Ack poor holic, it’s always in the shadow of it’s big brother (sister?) TRC, I don’t want it to have a break!
    Oh and thank you for mentioning the Wired article on manga, a friend mentioned it online to me and I thought it was very nicely done when I read it. And so we even bought a copy (and I didn’t even see the CLAMP interview until then!).

      Unfortunately, it’s going to be like that =\

      Oh, not at all! I was going to post it earlier but I kept postponing and postponing and postponing it (I know, how stupid is that? XD) and then I saw that CLAMP-NET also had mentioned it and that reminded me to post about it XD

      Still, Ohkawa’s interview is so short~ I wish it was bigger ^^

  7. Yay for no Kobato breaks!

    But MORE Holic breaks? D: Come on Clamp. If you’re going to do this, make the chapters longer at least! (Yet again, Kobato is monthly, yet it’s the length of a weekly chapter… oh well)

    • Opa, Kurodo-san! ^^

      Drops são akelas gotinhas q ficam dentro da garaffa da Kobato XD

      Pq elas mudam? Olha, eu naum sei te dizer com toda a certeza, mas eu acho q representa uma fase do manga. Por exemplo, os exames, agora a coleta dos corações machucados. O que virá depois?

      Acho q inicialmente naum era pra ter nomes, era só pra ser “Capítulo”, mas isso ocorreu depois q mudou pra Newtype.

      Abraços~~
