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.
Available on COMIC DAYS (Japanese) and Magazine Pocket (Japanese).

Further details about the collaboration between CLAMP and GODIVA chocolates have been announced!
Starting with the key visual, featuring the previously announced characters in their original forms instead of chibis:
This illustration will be used in packages, assorted products and shopping bags for the collaboration, as seen bellow:
There will also be two campaigns taking place: one will offer CLAMP-themed photo frames after scanning the QR codes that come on the leaflet included with the Godiva x CLAMP Collection chocolate set (4 pieces or 8 pieces), and another will give away a special sticker (out of five different kinds) as a purchase bonus for online and in-store purchases:
Online pre-orders will last from September 17th~23rd and deliveries will begin on October 1st. Sales on physical shops will run from October 1st to December 31st.
For more information, please visit the special CLAMP hotsite in Godiva Japan’s website.
Very happy that we got ourselves a new illustration featuring the characters in their full form and not just chibis!
According to Kodansha, volume 5 of XXXHOLiC Rei will be released on November 6th. It will be first XXXHOLiC Rei volume published in 9 years!
Also in November, the 2026 calendars of Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura are being released on November 13th.
At the moment, only a regular edition is listed. It’s unclear whether a special limited edition will be released as well, like the previous four volumes.

I was also expecting some news about the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION of CLOVER, but so far it is not listed in Kodansha‘s November list of releases, but the list could still change until then…
UPDATE: A Blu-ray special edition has been announced to be released on the same day. It is still unknown which video media will be released this time. For volume 1, we had XXXHOLiC Shunmuki, volume 2 we had Rou and Rou: Adayume, for volume 3, we had a PLAYBUTTON and for volume 4, we had the 2005 XXXHOLiC: A Midnight’s Summer Dream movie. For volume 5, my first guess would be the musical stage play…
UPDATE 2: The release date has been pushed back to November 29th, for both regular and special editions.
UPDATE 3: The Blu-ray content will be the footage from the 2017 CLAMP × SOUND THEATRE XXXHOLiC stage performance.
Available on COMIC DAYS (Japanese) and Magazine Pocket (Japanese).

The collaboration between CLAMP and GODIVA chocolates has been officially announced: a special chocolate collection featuring original artwork by CLAMP.
Full details will be announced on September 16th, sales will begin on October 1st.
The Japanese announcement roughly translates to:
Special Chocolate Collection Featuring Original Artwork
GODIVA, a long-loved premium chocolate brand, is collaborating for the first time with CLAMP, a collective loved by people of all generations.
The protagonists of CLAMP’s works, renowned for their boldness and love, pioneer the new era, and their story of love and courage echo the tale of Lady Godiva, the proud countess from whom the GODIVA brand is named.
Cherishing this shared sentiment, we’ve combined GODIVA’s high-quality chocolate with the charm of CLAMP’s protagonists.
This collaboration will bring you a new chocolate experience, complete with special illustrations created specifically for the occasion.
Full details of the collaboration will be announced on Tuesday, September 16th.
Please look forward to it.

They will be giving away this promotional flyer at CLAMP Exhibition -SELECTION- in Nagoya while supplies last:
How adorable! The artworks remind me of the chocolate set that they did back in 2011 for CLAMP@MOBiLE Fes! At first I thought it would be just Mokona=Modoki (I’m glad it’s not), but at the same time, only characters from Kodansha are part of this collaboration. Maybe this collaboration is happening thanks to Kodansha‘s marketing department.
I wonder if there will be other goods apart from the chocolates…
The Belgium brand of chocolates GODIVA in Japan has shared an image on their social networks with the silhouettes of Mokona=Modoki, suggesting a collaboration with CLAMP:
Finally the Mokona=Modoki shaped chocolate truffles we’ve all been waiting for xD
At this point, it isn’t clear whether this collaboration will be made available outside Japan. So far, only the Japanese social networks of GODIVA has shared the teaser.
The posts on their social networks says the collaboration announcement is “coming soon”:
