Tsubasa 2nd Artbook, volume 28 release dates

This news comes from the latest column of the editor of Tsubasa, Kiichiro Sugawara, published monthly in the members area of CLAMP-NET.COM.

Sugawara reveals that the 2nd Tsubasa artbook will be released somewhere during November in a simultaneous release with volume 28.

The artbook will contain CLAMP’s comments on all illustrations (like the 1st artbook), cover with new illustration drawn by CLAMP, two short comics and the price will be 1,890 yens.


The first highlighted paragraph says that the new Kodansha magazine, Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, will have congratulation comments from CLAMP. The magazine is out on September 9.

Hummm if the artbook will be released along with volume 28, does that mean that the illustrations of volume 29 (and any further volumes that could come after that) won’t be carried in the artbook? O.o What about the XXXHOLiC artbook? My bet is that it’s gonna be released around the same time too.

More Kobato. cast members announced! (Updated)

This month’s Newtype magazine will announce more cast members from the Kobato. TV anime. Even though the magazine is only officially out on the 10th, the information has already leaked through the japanese board 2ch.

Kohaku: Chiwa Saitou
Kiyokazu Fujimoto: Tomoaki Maeno
Sayaka Okiura: Fumiko Orikasa
Chitose Mihara: Houko Kawashima
Kazuto Okiura: Shinichiro Miki

Fujimoto’s seiyuu looks like a newcomer, like Kobato’s seiyuu. The seiyuus of Sayaka, Chitose and the Debt Collector, on the other hand, are all long-time professionals. I was surprised with Chitose’s seiyuu, she did Satsuki in X and Minoru in Chobits, and they are both pretty “down” characters, not “kind” as I imagine Chitose to be… hummm, we’ll see.

Oh and we got to know the Debt Collector’s first name, it’s Kazuto! =D And I’m very happy with the seiyuu choice, Shinichiro Miki is perfect!

The Kobato. anime will start on October 6 (just one month away!)

And this is a preview for the next issue of Newtype, which will be celebrating the debut of the Kobato. TV Anime with lots of CLAMP features:

Thanks for the picture!

The preview says:

– Cover will be drawn by CLAMP;
– More information about the Kobato. anime;
– “Big news” regarding Code Geass R2;
– Trading cards giveaway that they are calling “CLAMP TRUMP”.

Lots of things to look forward to in the next Newtype issue, huh? The magazine will be on sale October 10.

Update: The official website of Kobato. TV Anime has a new illustration on its homepage, you can check the full illustration in high quality in this link (thanks shiro_han for letting me know about it!)
