Tomorrow the 9th and final volume of the Code Geass R2 DVD and Blu-Ray will be released in Japan and CLAMP was in charge for drawing the Box that comes with it.
Here’s the box!
You can get a high-resolution version of the illustration here (for even bigger version, click on Original image (19.2 MB)).
Special thanks to Aurelia for let me know about this! =D
Japan Expo staff has made it possible for anyone to send their questions to CLAMP to be answered in their public conference at the event (similar to what was done for Anime Expo in 2006).
The event’s official website has more information on how to submit your question (basically you must fill a form).
The deadline is May 15.
They have also announced the day of CLAMP’s first public conference: Saturday, July 4.
LOL at their first question example: When the X series will be finished? I so wanna hear them answering that question for the thousandth time (and it’s the thousandth time and is even bolder, Teddy Picker, love this song xD).
Give it your best shot and ask away!
More updates from CLAMP’s visit to the 10th edition of Japan Expo in France, Paris this July.
Following their activities as Guests of Honor, the event’s official website announced that CLAMP will give two sign sessions.
Details of dates and hours of the sign sessions will be announced soon.
Other activities of CLAMP in the 4 days of event include two public conferences and a CLAMP Cosplay Contest as judges.
Animedia magazine publishes monthly chapters of the novel Kamigami-tachi no Gosui written by Atsuko Asano and illustrated in collaboration by various artists.
CLAMP was chosen to draw the illustrations for the two final chapters and kitsune_no_ame was nice enough to share cam shots of the 4 illustrations that CLAMP drew for the first of them.
Check them out here: [1], [2], [3], [4]
So gorgeous, isn’t it? I can’t wait for next month’s illustrations.
Update: cutesherry has super HQ scans of the full Kamigami-tachi no Gosui chapter and also CLAMP’s Cover Gallery from this month’s Newtype.
The official website of Japan Expo reports that CLAMP will be making two public conferences during their attendance.
Busy days for CLAMP at the event, they are also planned to participate as judges of the special Cosplay Contest of CLAMP characters.
Details of dates will be given soon.
Japan Expo will be held in Paris, France, from the 2nd to 5th of July.
I wonder if one can participate of both conferences, or I wonder if the Cosplay Contest is a plus (probably), not one of these two public appearances.
Mostly new chapter schedules.
The official website of the Tsubasa & XXXHOLiC OADs added several screenshots from the second half of Tsubasa Shunraiki. Check them out here!
It looks a tad better than OAD 1, in my opinion, but not outstandingly better.
The OAD will be released on May 15 along with Tsubasa #27.
And thank you guys for always taking your time to let me know about these updates (clstmk-san, always alerting me about OAD updates ^^)
Early scans can be found at MangaHelpers!
I know I haven’t written anything for the past 3 or so chapters of TRC/XXXHOLiC, sorry about that! But I’ll try to summarize my comments from the past chapters as well.
