ANGELIC LAYER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) vol. 1 cover, box announced

© CLAMP・Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD. / 角川書店

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

Moreover, a box to hold all 5 volumes has been announced and it will be sold via Newtype Anime Market. Reservations will last from May 9th to July 10th.

I really, really liked the cover! ANGELIC LAYER suits the style of CPC so I had a feeling that the cover would look good. All the “movement” and “speed” expected from ANGELIC LAYER are there. And I love that they kept the “rule” of using a brown color for the strokes. It looks really good!

It features Misaki and Hikaru, of course! I wonder if they will be in all covers or if they will have other characters with their angels. It would be good to see the other characters, just like they did for the VHS/DVD covers for the TV Anime. We’ll find out that “pattern” by the next volume.

I was also expecting the covers to be white, just like the original. And just like Chobits, I think all 5 covers will be white. The texts are black and red, which is similar to Chobits as well, but unlike Chobits, I don’t think the text colors will change for every volume.

Oh, and the box design looks nice! They used the recent illustration they did for Young Ace’s 30th anniversary! I thought that was a nice touch.

Here’s the schedule of ANGELIC LAYER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION):

Volume 1: May 9th
Volume 2: June 10th
Volume 3: July 10th
Volume 4: August 10th
Volume 5: September 10th

ANGELIC LAYER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) release dates schedule and info (UPDATED)

© CLAMP・Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD. / 角川書店

Kadokawa has announced the release schedule for ANGELIC LAYER, the 8th series of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION. The releases will be monthly, from May to September:

Volume 1: May 9th
Volume 2: June 10th
Volume 3: July 10th
Volume 4: August 10th
Volume 5: September 10th

Each volume will cost 1,056 yens and will have the same color pages as the original Kadokawa Comics ACE version (the only edition of ANGELIC LAYER that exists), apart from a newly drawn cover illustration by CLAMP.

At this point, there is no mention of a bonus prize for those collecting all volumes, which is a bit strange, considering even CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan had one.

Given those dates, I would say it’s unlikely that the 9th title (by Kodansha) will come out still in 2026, which probably means ANGELIC LAYER will be the only series of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION to be released this year.

Thanks to Shari07 for letting me know about this!!

UPDATE: there will be a campaign for those who purchase all 5 volumes, a “5-piece frame sticker set”

ANGELIC LAYER is the 8th series of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION, first volume out in the Japanese Spring 2026

The obi strip that comes with the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLOVER volume 1 is announcing that the next series will be ANGELIC LAYER! The first volume will be released in Japan in their Spring of 2026.

Once again we will be having a big break between releases, and it’s still unclear what’s the release schedule going to be like (probably one volume per month).

Now, the only long series left for Kadokawa is RG Veda.

Can’t wait for the new covers! Are we in for another set of white covers?

CLOVER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) vol. 2 cover

(C)CLAMP・ShigatsuTsuitachi CO.,LTD.／講談社,(C)Haruhiko Shono/Inside Out with GADGET

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.

CLOVER (CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION) vol. 1 cover

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.

CLOVER is the 7th series of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION, first volume out on the Japanese Fall (UPDATED)

© CLAMP・Shigatsu Tsuitachi CO.,LTD. / 講談社

The CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan volume 3 is announcing that the next series will be CLOVER! The first volume will be released in Japan on their Fall.

Source: X (thank you Srahi07 for letting me know!).

I ran a poll some time ago on my social network and most people voted for CLOVER as the next Kodansha CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION title. With this, only Cardcaptor Sakura (classic and Clear Card), Tsubasa (classic and Nirai Kanai arc) and XXXHOLiC Rei, which is ongoing, are still left from Kodansha.

I did not expect such a long gap… the first volume is scheduled for their Fall. This is the biggest break to date between CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION releases. CLAMP must be really busy, or something else…

Anyway, always happy to see new CLOVER art! Hopefully they will make 4 volumes, like the classic edition, instead of 2.

Update: It will be the 2-volumes edition released in 2008. The releases will span from the Japanese Fall to the Winter.

The CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition of 🍀CLOVER🍀 will be based on this 2008 edition, which compiles two volumes in one.This is the edition that Kodansha has been pushing forward since 2008 and it’s been published in several countries since it was released in Japan.#CLAMP#CLOVER

Such a fun concept! And quite unusual for CLAMP. All covers for this series have been nothing but fun!

This third and final volume is coming out on March 10th.

It’s been such a short and sweet ride with our detective boys. Now, on to the next Kodansha title!

CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION: CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan vol. 2 cover

Again, very colorful! Previous CPCs had very strict color palette rules but it seems that for CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan it’s a lot more flexible.

The electric green is no surprise, considering they are following the same main color from the original edition. We can definitely expect electric pink for volume 3.

The boys look adorable and I loved the clouds in the background!

This second volume is coming out on February 10th.

Only one volume left! It barely started and it’s almost time to say goodbye to our boys =(

Here’s the upcoming schedule for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION of CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan:

Vol. 2: February 10th
Vol. 3: March 10th

CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION: CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan vol. 1 cover

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

Colorful how it should be!

It has white background and the main color is orange just like the original edition of volume one. I think this pattern will be kept. If that’s the case, we will have white background and green and pink for the second and third volumes. And just like the X covers of CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION, the illustration is occupying edge to edge.

I think the new style is suiting them well!

It’s interesting how the English title is slightly covered by Suoh’s hair ^^’

This CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION will include the colored pinup poster as well as the original colored versions of the title pages that were printed in the original editions only in black and white.

This first volume is coming out on January 10th.

Here’s the upcoming schedule for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION of CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan:

Vol. 1: Januray 10th
Vol. 2: February 10th
Vol. 3: March 10th
