On this extremely hot and delicious holiday in Brazil, I bring you…
The first tankoubon of Kobato. finally got a release date, mark in your calendars because the day is December 26th.
The announcement was made in this month’s issue of Newtype magazine, which will be out on October 10th.
It’s the first official tankoubon of Kobato since the series’ debut almost 3 years ago.
I expected it to be December, although I also expected the part that was published in Sunday GX to be released directly into tankoubon as well.
We’ll see what are their plans… re-publish it in Newtype? Re-draw everything? Or maybe the announcement of the 2nd tankoubon will be made afterwards?
It’s October! The year is almost over! o.o
Since the 16th was a Sunday and the 17th a holiday in Japan, we have CLAMP-NET’s update on the 18th.
The “big news” regarding Kobato., published in this month’s Newtype magazine, was the announcement that the stories of “Kobato.” and “Kobato (Temporary)” are going to be unified.
That was very predictable, I’d say. Not so big news, then. I assume this unification will happen once the current tankoubon is completed, and I presume that what’s been published in Sunday GX under the title of “Kobato (Temporary)” will not be published again in Newtype. Instead, they’ll most likely release it directly into tankoubon and the story will continue in Newtype where we left at the end of the “(Temporary)” story (what a mess! xD).
Also in the “big news” category, information about future tankoubon releases are expected to come in the next issue of Newtype, ou on October 10th.
This news were part of the 15-pages CLAMP feature, that also includes information on CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 2, Tsubasa OADs, XXXHOLiC 2nd Series (nothing new, though) and a brand-new Kobato illustration.
The official website of Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS has been updated with character sketches (setteis) of Syaoran, Sakura, Fye and Kurogane. They look very good!
A new event has been added. There will be an exclusive preview section due to October 21st. The official website will recruit a total of 650 people to attend to the first screening of the OAD at the Kodansha Hall. This month’s anime magazines Animage and Newtype are also expected to come with forms as they will be presenting more tickets to the event.
Additionally, new members of the staff and a new entry of the Producer’s Diary has been added as well.
The first Tsubasa OAD will be attached to Tsubasa #21 due to November 16th.

Moving to Kobato. now. As you might as well know, in this month Kobato. is taking a break and instead we have an article about the series. Sources who got early copies of the magazine claim that the next issue of Newtype magazine, the October one (out on September 10th), is promised to be a big CLAMP feature.
Moreover, it is told that a “big news” regarding Kobato. will be announced soon (probably in October’s Newtype)!
More information as they come, stay tuned!!
EDIT: A tiny mistake above, we do have a Kobato. chapter scheduled for this month, sorry about that. The article and the “big news” will be featured on the October Newtype issue, to be released on September 10th.
