The covers of volumes 18 and 18.5 of X for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition have been announced!

No big surprises, at this point. Nataku and Kamui. ended up being the only ones to appear in the same volume cover as the original edition, and some fans guessed it right that Hokuto would appear in Kakyou’s cover. I love the background in the cover of volume 18.5.

Kyougo ended up being the only character that appeared in the original edition but not in CPC.

In addition to the 5 chapters that were only published in the appendix of CLAMP Newtype PLATINUM and in ALL ABOUT CLAMP, volume 18.5 will also include a few extras:

• “X² IMAGE CLIP SPECIAL COMIC” (originally published with the “X²” image clip)
• “Sora-chan’s Youth Love Love Fire” (originally published in CLAMP News 14)
• “X Gag Edition” (originally published in ASUKA June 1993 issue)
• “CLAMP IN WONDERLAND EX.” (originally published in CLAMP Newtype PLATINUM)

All these extras explain all the extra pages that were listed for volume 18.5 (apart from the 5 chapters).

Volumes 18 and 18.5 will be released on November 4.

This concludes the fun ride that was X in CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION. The next work has not yet been announced, but it’s going to be from Kodansha.
