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

It does! Certains aspects of it remind me of XXXHOLiC, but it’s still very unique.

I love the second picture. It’s something you don’t see CLAMP drawing all that often. And the hair of that girl! I want hair like that. It seems to flow so nicely.

That’s true. Loved the stylized sea waves, and the characters are completely pale, too.

It’s Mori Ougai, not Mouri…
Everyone is so happy for this release but it hasn’t reached amazon yet so I’ve only seen pics from blogs。
