CLAMP’s official website, CLAMP-NET.COM, has officially re-opened today!

270813
The website has a “Schedule” section, listing the upcoming events and releases, and a “Blog” section, with posts from the CLAMP members.It looks very simple, content-wise, and it doesn’t fully cover all of CLAMP’s vast portfolio, focusing mainly on their main list of works. I hope the website will grow with time.

CLAMP has also launched their official Facebook page, hurray!

The new website was designed by vanillate. The clay dolls that appear throughout the website were designed by Miro-san.

So it’s finally open!! I’m looking forward to see what the website will offer us =)
