This collaboration was originally announced in May of 2021 but only now, more than a year later, we finally have more details about it.
CLAMP have drawn this gorgeous piece of illustration for the multi-platform RPG game:
The game developers have produced character skins based on the above illustration, as seen below:

The thirteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ dropped to the 14th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 26,542 copies sold in its second week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Big Acrylic Stands) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
Last week I reported that the Special Edition sales numbers were unknown, but it turns out that I was able to find from a different source that the Special Edition (Big Acrylic Stands) debuted on the 40th position in its first week, with an estimate of 15,042 copies sold in its first week.
This changes things a bit and it means that combining the first and second week sales, volume 13 sold an overall estimate of 94,869 copies, outselling the overall sales of volume 12 in its second week!
It’s good to see this uptake for Clear Card in its final stage.
It is always worth mentioning that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

The covers of all 3 volumes of Magic Knight Rayearth 2 for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition have been announced!
CLAMP decided to switch the order of appearance: in the classic version, Hikaru was at the forefront of volume 1 and Fuu was at the forefront of volume 3. It was the other way around for CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION. The color tone for the covers is the same as the classic series.
There had been some speculation among fans that the covers for the second series would feature additional characters. Some speculated that it would feature the characters from the foreigner countries (as they are in the back covers of the classic series), but the concept that CLAMP chose was: the magic knight and their loved ones.
Here’s the complete release schedule for Magic Knight Rayearth in CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION:
November 11, 2022: Magic Knight Rayearth volumes 2 & 3
December 13, 2022: Magic Knight Rayearth 2 volume 1
January 13, 2023: Magic Knight Rayearth 2 volumes 2 & 3
So this is it for Magic Knight Rayearth in CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION =) Looking very much forward for the next title which should be published by Kadokawa (fans are guessing it’s gonna be RG Veda)
The thirteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ debuted at the 4th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 53,303 copies sold in its first week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Big Acrylic Stands) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
Volume 13 outsold the sales of both normal and special editions of volume 12 combined in its first week, but volume 12 had the lowest first week sales of Clear Card, therefore volume 13 is behind all the other volumes released before volume 12. In other words, volume 13 had the second worst first week sales, only behind volume 12.
The announcement that the series will be over on volume 14 might have caused an impact on this slight increase of sales.
It’s worth mentioning that while the regular edition landed in the 4th position, the first 3 titles are not published by Kodansha. Meaning Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ volume 13 was this week’s most sold title published by Kodansha.
Finally, it is always worth mentioning that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.
