“Magic Knight Rayearth” new anime project website opens!

©CLAMP・ST/講談社・TMS・テレビ朝日

The official website for the upcoming new Magic Knight Rayearth TV Anime has been launched!

We also learned that the new project will air on Asahi TV channel in 2026, although no specific date has been given.

With this announcement, we also have a second key visual, the first one where we can see the three girls from upfront.

Official website: https://rayearth-anime.com
Official X account: https://x.com/rayearth_info

I am really happy with Hikaru and Fuu’s designs, they look close to the manga (including Hikaru’s hair color, as we had seen already in the first key visual), but I’m not sure about Umi’s face…

It seems the “old” logo is back. I wasn’t sure if they would keep the same iconic logo or if they would do a brand new one (it would have been a bad idea, in my opinion). So it’s great that the old logo is back, even if it has some minor changes. Also, I loved the fact that in this new key visual they are replicating CLAMP’s “whiteout” technique to make it more “glossy/shiny”. It definitely makes you think about the manga and I wonder if this will be applied to the actual anime as well (not sure if it might work).

I was also expecting to have some information about the staff but alas, not this time!

And we now know for a fact that the new project is indeed a TV anime, as it strongly suggested.

CLOVER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) vol. 2 cover

YES! We were spoiled by Kodansha today and the volume 2 cover of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER has been announced as well!

Source: Kodansha (thanks Shari for letting me know! <3).

So it is Oruha and Suu! Unfortunately Lan is out, but I like having Suu on both covers. They are both showing their full bodies as well. The art nouveau designs in the corners are a little different from vol. 1 as well.

I like Suu a little less, here. I’m not loving her face and she looks a little stiff, but I LOVE Oruha here!!!! She’s not exactly how she’s usually drawn but it looks GOOD! And beautiful, as she is!

As a reminder, the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER will be based on the 2-volumes edition released in 2008, therefore the two volumes will compile the whole series, originally released in 4 volumes.

CLOVER vol.1 will come out on November 13th and vol. 2 on December 12th.

Animate has shared this promotional image on its X account where we can see a new art of XXXHOLiC Rei, which will probably be used as either the regular or Blu-ray Special Edition of volume 5.

Loved the royalty motif! And such bright colors are rare in XXXHOLiC!

XXXHOLiC Rei volume 5 goes on sale on November 29th.

The volume 1 cover of the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER has been announced!

Unlike the previous Kodansha CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION releases, this edition will not come with a postcard as a bonus, unfortunately.

WOW! It actually looks great? I love the style here! Suu looks great! I like Kazuhiko too although the style difference can be noticed more with him.

The cover layout is different too with the bottom half of Kazuhiko’s body unseen (a bit like the Magic Knight Rayearth covers). I wonder if volume 2 will follow a similar pattern. And who is it going to be in the cover of volume 2? Oruha and Lan?

As a reminder, the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER will be based on the 2-volumes edition released in 2008, therefore the two volumes will compile the whole series, originally released in 4 volumes.

CLOVER vol.1 will come out on November 13th and vol. 2 on December 12th.

CLAMP Kanbukai (CLAMP Podcast) Episode 29

Episode 29 of CLAMP’s podcast, CLAMP Kanbukai, is out! You can listen to it on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

This episode’s theme is “#MyCLAMPExhibition” (#わたしのCLAMP展).

This episode was almost entirely dedicated to reading messages from people who attended the CLAMP Exhibition and its installments. CLAMP previously asked everyone to share on their social networks about their impressions using the hashtag #わたしのCLAMP展 (#MyCLAMPExhibition).

They read several messages shared on X, instagram, threads and Bluesky (I was really happy that they even picked one from Bluesky!)

Ohkawa-sensei also revealed the outcome of her handkerchief. She had been wanting to hand out the handkerchief to someone crying seeing the exhibition, but she never managed to find anyone crying in any of the times she went in person. They went again on the very last day of the Nagoya leg and she found a young girl who was not crying but looked a lot like Subaru (it seems even her clothes were similar). She approached her and began talking to her. It seems her favorite CLAMP work was Cardcaptor Sakura (and not Tokyo Babylon, to their surprise) and she did not recognize her as the original author at all (she had to introduce herself). She asked if she could keep the handkerchief and she did, although she had no idea what it was all about. It seems like the whole situation was a bit awkward, but they were courteous with each other. Apparently the other 3 joined Ohkawa-sensei and the girl eventually.

Ohkawa-sensei finally completed her mission of handing her handkerchief to someone at the CLAMP Exhibition!

Sadly, they did not take pictures of the handkerchief before giving it away to the guy… (lucky guy!)


Thank you for reading this post!
