Maihime/Utakata No Ki cover

Yomiuri Online has a bigger version of the cover of Mori Ougai’s Maihime/Utakata No Ki pocket edition, which was drawn by CLAMP and released last month.


Click to enlarge it.

Since we had only seen a very small sample of the cover, I was under the impression that Nekoi could have drawn it, but now you can clearly see it’s Mokona. I really like when CLAMP draws for a novel, it’s a chance to see new styles of their art, this one is so gorgeous, reminds me a bit of CLOVER.

CLAMP also drew the cover for Sanshou Dayuu/Takasebune/Abe Ichizoku‘s pocket edition, but so far I couldn’t find a bigger version of it Bigger version thanks to Vache ^__^

If you find more pictures of these please let me know! xD

More news

The news keep coming, those ladies never stop!

• Mouryou no Hako:

Apart from Mainichi’s article that I posted yesterday, My Com Journal has their article about Mouryou no Hako‘s anime adaptation, they also have a few character settei and their version is bigger and better.

The repercussion of Mouryou no Hako anime announcement and the fact that CLAMP is taking charge of the character concept so far has been big on the media, with CLAMP’s name appearing on the headlines, and from what I can tell, the news has been very well-accepted by the general public.

• CLAMP draws the next Newtype cover:

The NEWS BOARD section of CLAMP-NET.COM reports that the September issue of Newtype magazine (on sale on August 9) will have its cover drawn by CLAMP, featuring a Code Geass R2 illustration.

In addition, the magazine will feature a long interview with Mokona about Code Geass R2 and a CLAMP in CARDLAND Newtype Original Card will be included in the magazine as an appendix. The card illustration will be drawn by CLAMP, too (I’m assuming it will have the same illustration as the cover).

Mouryou no Hako settei sheets

Mainichi has an article about Mouryou no Hako‘s upcoming anime adaptation with a gallery showing the anime’s character settei sheets.

Notice that these (and also the ones previously posted) are MADHOUSE’s sheets, the characters have been adapted by the anime character designer, we have yet to see CLAMP’s original sketches of the characters.

Looks so nice~!

The anime still doesn’t have a release date.
