They’ve totally reversed positions compared with volume 1. Not that that’s SIGNIFICANT or anything. XD
Not sakura, I think, those flowers are too large. I’m betting camellias.
LikeLike
LOL yeah, too bad it’s not the last volume, it would match perfectly xD Let’s see if CLAMP has something more surprising for volume 16.
I’m just not 100% sure of being camellias because the symbol behind the 15 number is a sakura flower. Could be not fully bloomed sakuras, I’m not sure if camellias are that pink, are they? *loser xD*

Yes, you can find Camelia japonica in a whole variety of colours from white to red with pink and yellow and even white petals with a line of pink on the edge. Camelia had been mix a lot, so you’ve got tones of hybrids. ^_~
And I’m not even talking about the other camelia species.
But the cover is amazing! Love the colors so much. ^_^
I would have love to have it in a calender format. -_-

Watanuki looks sort of…clowish.

It’s very beautiful, but it’s also kind of…inappropriate for genteel company, if you know what I mean.
Coincidentally, how many more volumes do you think there will be?

I think volume 16 will be the last ^^

If they pull a Tokyo Babylon thing and have the last cover be just Watanuki, I will bawl my eyes out.

But all the Tokyo Babylon covers have only Subaru O.o

Oh no, I meant the pull out art you get where they drew Subaru, Hokuto, and Seishirou together until the last volume where it was just Seishirou and Subaru.

I would cry with you! That pull out art was so moving. Ohkawa or Mokona or Nekoi or Satsuki, wohever think of that is a genius.

Yuuko and Watanuki have been sharing front covers lately. That and this highly affirms my suspicions that Watanuki might be Clow, FWR DID say that Watanuki looked like a young Clow. Or maybe he’s another of Clow’s incarnations.
On another note, Clow is an effing player, we have Kaho who is an incarnation of his wife, Nadeshiko who is the wife of his incarnation, and I don’t even know what it really was between him and Yuuko. Also we have Yue mooning over him.
LikeLike
Ohohoho, I think exactly the same as you about Clow, why did him have such a strong attraction to them? just because all of this is HITSUZEN XD
On a side note, I think Clow’s reincarnation and descendants are more lovely than himself (shot by Clow fans), Fujitaka, Eriol, Touya, Syaoran X 3~~~ I love each of them more than Clow himself XD
LikeLike
I myself prefer Watanuki. er…
Then again, we haven’t really seen much of Clow besides being dead and all knowing and smiling the “I know something you don’t know” smile.

Oh…yes, Kimihiro-kun also, I have lost count on how many Clow’s descendants out there =.= I definitely LOVE Watanuki, he is so lovely ^ ^

HAHAHA I haven’t thought about that ! Clow is such a heart breaker xD

Always curious about this, but where in CCS does it say that Kaho is the incarnation of Clow’s wife?

it should be said that Kaho is the partner of Clow’s reincarnation, Eriol.^.^

after reading what the others wrote here about the cover i went and dug out my copies of the books. It’s interesting to see that Watanuki is on all the covers…granted he’s on the back of most of them. He’s on the 1st one sitting behind Yuuko and looking Much younger than he does now (that’s might be the slight evolution of the artwork though)then after that we see him only on the back of the pages slowly coming more and more into frame. It might not be something to really look at, but i find it interesting that we get more of an image of him as the book covers go by until he’s now sitting in front of Yuko in a way instead of behind her and rather than him sitting bellow her he’s sitting at a higher elevation. It might be symbolism that Watanuki is now of more central importance to the evolution of the story than Yuuko. It is possible that she won’t even appear on the last cover.

I second everything you said ^__^
I’ve been wondering too if Watanuki will appear alone in the final cover. That would be cool.

It’ll be sad to not see Yuuko at all though, because unless we’re going to be reminiscing on her in the end…or she comes back as a reincarnation or something i don’t know why we’d see her.

I must say i loved this cover, Watanuki-kun looks so grown up!!! T_T Feels even like we are reaching the end even more than before!!! And I must agree with the ones that say that he looks so “Clow-like” that it feels as he was made in his resemblence. Like “Clow in his youth”.
