omg, I just noticed: breaks for both series 2 months in a row! D: I suppose they deserve a breather, we are too used to being spoiled by these workaholic women, others mangakas disappears for months/years….The thought of them ending their careers all together at some point in the future is pretty scary >.

2012 has been the slowest year since I started blogging about CLAMP =/
But sure, they deserve this rest.

Wasn’t one of them recovering from an injury that they said would slow them down for six months or so? It’s been awhile, so I can’t remember if that was late last year or early this year…
But our ladies deserve a nice break. =)

Yes, they were under treatment in the beginning of the year. Maybe halfway through the treatment they realized they needed more time?

Double break for both series! I hope they take a good rest and then start in November with bigger chapters….
With monthly issues and so few pages ( specially for Drug & Drop), it is a torture….
However, the most important thing is that all the four mebers are well and healthy

Probably repeating myself here, but any news as to when the manga will be released? Drug & Drop, I mean.
Cause I saw on one site that it was going to be licensed. Don’t know if it’s true or not.

Released where, you mean?

Two months ? I was already thinking it was a slow year for Clamp… Well, they more than deserve some vacations anyway.
But I guess the postponing of Gate 7 chapter 19 means the volume 4 I saw listed on a french website for October 2012 was, as I supposed, a wrong information.
Well, enough of being sad. I will believe that they take two months to prepare for the return of X !!!!
