This month’s issue of graphic design magazine DTPWORLD has a feature about manga design, and CLAMP’s XXXHOLiC is listed in it. undini has kindly scanned it for us (thank you so much!). It’s very small, unfortunately, but I was very curious to check it ^^
Click to enlarge it.
Translation credits go to Yoshiyuki! The original magazine scan can be checked here.
I love how CLAMP is one of the few authors who make the design for their own comic books ♥
The other thing I would like to share today is Nanase Ohkawa’s latest post in her Private Board, which doesn’t have any sort of foreshadowing information (who knows?), but I thought it was worth posting xD
Voice
As I’ve mentioned before in our radio show and other places,
recently I’ve been taking pilates lessons.
Since I’ve been studying a lot, I wondered if there was something that worked a little slower,
and since I wanted to rest a bit, I went to yoga lessons.
Yoga is very hard and I’ve just started it, but my teacher is a very gentle person (laughs).
The teacher taking charge of my classes has such a lovely voice.
Very much lovely.
If “Kobato.” were to become an anime,
I would definitely want Kobato-chan’s voice to sound this lovely.
And healing.
In yoga you breathe according to the teacher’s voice, while you are in a certain pose,
such a lovely voice makes me feel happy.
Therefore, for the future I’ll be taking a bit of yoga.
See you next time, teacher with (inside my brain) Kobato’s voice (laughs).
声
ラジオなどではお話ししていたのですが、ここ最近
ピラティスの教室に通っていました。
色々勉強になったのですが、もちょっとゆっくり動くものはないだろうかと、
少しお休みして、今、ヨガを習いに行っています。
ヨガもハードなものはとてもハードなのですが、
まだ始めたばかりなので、
先生も優しくしてくれます(笑)。
後ね、私が行ってる時間の、担当の先生の声が
かわいいの。
もうすごくかわいい。
なんか、「こばと。」がアニメ化したら、
是非こばとちゃんの声をやって欲しいくらいかわいい。
そして癒される。
ヨガは先生の声に合わせて呼吸したり、ポーズをとったりがあるので、
やはり素敵なお声の方だと嬉しいです。
というわけで、今後ももうちょっとヨガ、続けてみようと思います。
またよろしくお願いします。「こばと」声（私脳内）の先生(笑)。
Much thanks to Sakura-chan for the gentle help with the translation!
So Ohkawa is doing yoga? I wonder what is she studying? And the story about the teacher with Kobato’s voice? So adorable XD

I want to hear that teacher’s voice! That way I’d know the kind of voice Kobato’s going to have when it becomes an anime ♥ (If they listen to Ohkawa to choose her seiyuu)

>If they listen to Ohkawa to choose her seiyuu
They usually do! She was very active on the process of choosing Sakura and Chii’s seiyuus =D

And maybe Ohkawa’s comments are good signs about a Kobato anime adaptation, in the near future n_n
