Looks really, really nice!
Our predictions that it would feature Hana and the white tiger were right on! Each volume Hana is featured with the 4 animals of the Chinese constellation: the Vermilion Bird (volume 1), the Azure Dragon (volume 2), the Black Tortoise (volume 3) and the White Tiger (volume 4). Now I wonder how the cover of volume 5 is going to look like… any guesses?
The good thing about CLAMP moving to twitter is that now the covers are posted in a much higher resolution.
GATE 7 #4 goes on sale on February 4, along with Drug & Drop #1 (there is going to be a campaign for it!).
On a sad note, for those who haven't seen it yet, CLAMP-NET.COM has official closed last Monday. As previously mentioned, all news are being now posted on their twitter account @CLAMP_News. Hopefully this is only temporary, even if it takes a long time for the website to be reopened.
Update: Bigger version, although with less quality, here.

The Vermilion Bird (suzaku), the Azure Dragon (seiryuu), the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger represent the four directions South, East, North. West while the Golden Kirin represents the central power.

Do you have any idea where else than at green drugstore -it’s a scanlation group’s website- I could find drug and drop ch11?
I couldn’t find it anywhere!
Thank you

Unfortunately not, that is the only group that is working on D&D that I am aware of =/
But they are so good, I think it’s worth the wait =)

That’s a lovely cover – the leaves and berries make it feel… wintry. Though I still like the blue dragon cover best. XD
I’d guess the fifth cover will feature a golden dragon? It represents the centre and the element of earth of the five elements. But considering the Azure Dragon was already on volume 2, I think a golden kirin suggested by would be awesome.

Thank you for your thoughts!
These animals are not like the tarot cards in X (which there are so many). Even if we know the animal for volume 5, we know GATE 7 is gonna last longer than that… so I wonder what CLAMP will do later with the covers.

Very beautiful!
I wonder if there’s a possibility that they’ll feature again the same animals but with Chikahito, since both he and Hana are ‘void’.

That’s a good guess!
