I rarely post anything about the things that happen in Brazil that are related to CLAMP, simply because they rarely happen, unfortunately, I should say xD But today I heard this very exciting news from my friend Freakazoid-san, something I was expecting and hoping for quite some time (actually ever since JBC announced that they would be publishing Tsubasa).

Rumor has it that the Brazilian version of Tsubasa, since April/06 being published bimonthly, is about to become monthly, starting on the upcoming edition #11, which will hit newstands on December 12th.

Although this news is still under the “rumors” category, it’s pretty much confirmed since, according to Freakazoid-san, users of orkut have been getting e-mail replies from JBC stating the change on the manga’s periodicity.

A formal announcement by JBC is expected to be made on the release date.

XXXHOLiC’s periodicity remains the same, bimonthly, which is appropriate in order to have the links between the the two mangas working properly.

Also, prepare your wallets because according to the cover, the price for one edition has increased from R$ 5.90 to R$ 6.90. Ough. For half a tankoubon and no color pages, yes, I think it’s expensive.

The new price applies for XXXHOLiC as well.

I’ve been following the Brazilian versions of Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC since they started to be published here, and I have to say, JBC is doing a really incredible translation job, specially with XXXHOLiC, which is grammatically harder to understand.

The fun of reading Tsubasa in portuguese shall be bigger and the waiting for the next edition shall be smaller ^^
