As previously announced, to promote the moving of XXXHOLiC to Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, Kodansha is holding a combo project with three of its shonen magazines:
May 19, XXXHOLiC one-shot in Weekly Shonen Magazine #25, 16 pages, 1 color page.
May 20, Holitsuba one-shot in Magazine SPECIAL #06.
June 9, new XXXHOLiC series in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, color pages and front cover featuring XXXHOLiC.
All 3 magazines will come with an application service to win original QUO Cards with illustrations drawn by CLAMP featured in each respective magazine.
The news now is that apart from the QUO Cards service, there is going to be a new prize for those who buy all 3 magazines: a new Short-OAD!
The announcement comes from a pamphlet that came inside XXXHOLiC #17:
In the above picture, it’s not possible to see the announcement about the Short-OAD (the image is either cut or the announcement is on the other side), but the news has been confirmed by several Japanese blogs.
I’m not sure yet if the short-OAD will be about XXXHOLiC or Holitsuba (that would be cool!). The Short-OAD length will be around 1~2 minutes. The deadline for application is July 8, which means the OAD will be delivered sometime after that.
More news about as they come, stay tuned!
