Here is the cover (drawn by CLAMP) of the book version of Kamigami no Utatane, the fantasy novel by Atsuko Asano serialized in Animedia magazine:
I think it’s beautiful! Just a reminder that the final two chapters of the book also have illustrations by CLAMP.
The book will be released on September 29.

Gorgeous work. :wonders about the elf character: Yay purple eyes.
Let’s see… Kamigami no utatane. I know that kamigami is gods and no is possessive. But what does utatane mean? :is very curious now:
The obi says (I think): Asano Atsuko’s writings: The gods, on a whim, a little kindness.

“Utatane” apparently means “nap.” “Light sleep” sounds a lot better, though, even if it’s not the exact same meaning.

Oh, one more thing! Thank you for translating the obi, and thank you to Chibiyuuto for posting this! I love CLAMP’s illustrations for this series.

You’re welcome! I’m not sure if “utatane” means nap in this case, though, since I don’t see the kanji for “neru” up there. Not an expert, though!

It’s a beautiful cover indeed! I like the character design a lot too, but that’s not by CLAMP, is it?
I wonder if Gate 7 will have pics like this.

What do you mean not by CLAMP? I don’t know if they fully re-created the designs or if they just adapted previously-created designs to their own style o.o
LikeLike
I was just wondering that, whether they created the appearance of the characters or they were designed by someone else before. I assumed the designs weren’t CLAMP’s, but I don’t really know ;;

Yeah me neither xDDD We would have to take a look at the other illustrations (those that weren’t done by CLAMP) and make a comparison =)
