The cover of XXXHOLiC #19 for the CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION edition has been announced!
It will be released on May 6 and it’s the final XXXHOLiC volume for CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION. It can be ordered via Amazon Japan.
So indeed we had Watanuki all by himself and what’s more, doing the exact same pose as Yuuko in volume 1 cover, except it’s mirrored:
It’s been a fun ride waiting for these new covers every month! Now it’s Tokyo Babylon‘s time!
The twelfth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ debuted at the 9th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 33,090 copies sold in its first week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Big Art Trump Cards Set) landed in the 29th position, selling 16,726 copies.
Combining the sales of the regular and special editions together, volume 12 sold an estimate of 49,816 copies.
This is the lowest first week sales for a Clear Card volume yet. However, it’s worth pointing out the short amount of exposure that it had. The sales period covered by the ranking goes from March 28th to April 3rd. As you know, volume 12 of Clear Card was released on April 1st. Therefore, those sales numbers account for only 3 days of sale — which is less than half of…

The March issue of Nakayoshi なかよし(on sale February 3, 2021) will be a special ミラクル💕バレンタイン号 Miracle 💕 Valentine issue!
SWIMMER x Nakayoshi collaboration ★ Kuma-chan pen & stickers set
💕 Sailor Moon Eternal memorial clear bookmarks set 
★ Card Captor Sakura Clear Card chapter 50 will have a double color page
The new spinoff of Haken Anime! novel series: Oto to Koe no Bouken (Adventure of Sound and Voice) will begin serialization in issue nª2232 of anan (アンアン), on sale January 6 in Japan.
CLAMP are the ones in charge of the illustrations! (that was announced 2 weeks ago, in issue 2230 of anan).
There goes the front and back cover:
OMG!! ✨✨✨
This illustration of Mamoru as Tuxedo Mask is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I love love love it so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The two Sailor Moon Eternal movies are scheduled for January 8, 2021 (Part 1) and February 11, 2021 (Part 2), they are based on the Dream arc and serve as a direct continuation, a “fourth season”, for the Sailor Moon Crystal anime series.
I’m looking forward to them so much, even while knowing I won’t be watching them until months from now since I need to wait for them to be released on blurays/DVD 😭 But they’ve been advertising a lot, releasing magazines and articles, there are tons of merchandise and collaborations, and even the Nakayoshi got involved: in the issue released today there is a desktop calendar, and in the March issue scheduled for release February 3 they is going to be a memorial set of bookmarks of all the sailor senshis!
This news was published a few hours ago, I personally saw the tweet this morning since I am following the official account of the anime. I’ve been wondering if they’d do it or not… it was a big announcement, and you could tell they worked on many scenes already from the trailers!
But they are really making it happen, i can only wish luck to the staff remaking the episodes >.<
A shame it’s not an April release anymore considering how emblematic cherry blossom trees are in Tokyo Babylon.
And I regret not saving the trailers now hahaha I should have downloaded them as soon as they were shared online, but I think they must still be around on youtube, I will very likely find them easily 🙂original tweet: https://twitter.com/tokyobabylon21/status/1342032795279925249

I actually noticed Nekoi either liking or re-tweeting the cover of this book a few days ago! I thought it looked cute and even added it to my amazon japan wishlist XD I had no idea CLAMP were directly involved and that we would see both Mokonas on the obi’s book today!
There is a new Mokona=Modoki adorable little drawing printed on the obi strip, and they also commented on the book’s content!

It’s shipped and sold by Amazon Japan, but AS USUAL in this cursed 2020 year, overseas customers can’t preorder it, so, the ‘new usual’ : wait until the release date is close, which is January 7, and pray that by then they would have ‘unblocked it’ so that we can purchase it if we wish to that is.
Yes, after all these months, and missing the chances to purchase one too many books this year, I’m starting to get really bitter. I’ve been their customer since 2006 or 2007, not sure, and there was NEVER any issues shipping books, EVER 😦
I, of course, contacted their customer service more than once, and their answers is ALWAYS the same: sorry, we don’t know, and the reason “is confidential”, which means nothing at all, just that they don’t know.

Totally unexpected but I’m really excited!
CLAMP even re-tweeted it, so that special announcement might be something big! ✨
Right now, the Youtube page look like this:
I wasn’t expecting that at all, I wasn’t thinking about Haken Anime right now to be totally honest, neither before ^^;; But more specifically today, my mind has been full of the new Sakura Together Forever Pinky Promise nendoroid, that was so suddenly announced yesterday out of nowhere hahaha
But I was expecting and looking forward this issue of Anan since last wednesay, when they announced that CLAMP would have featured in an article in this issue, and I see that they had something specific to announce after all, and that it wasn’t just an article about their trajectory as mangakas these past 30 years.
I’ve looked into it since last week on Amazon Japan but the magazine was never available for neither preorder before the release date, nor direct order now that it’s officially out…
I will still check it out the next few days, but I won’t be holding my breath either… these past 7-8 months have probably been by far the most problematic since I started using Amazon Japan almost 15 years ago, due to more and more items not being shipped overseas, and I’m talking only about books and magazines here, meaning the kind of things with no restrictions and no reasons whatsoever not to be shipped 😦
This week’s issue of anan magazine (issue 2230) is announcing that CLAMP will be in charge of the illustrations for a new Haken Anime! spinoff novel series.
The spinoff is entitled Oto to Koe no Bouken (Adventure of Sound and Voice) and will begin serialization two weeks from now, on issue 2232 of anan. The series will be written by the same author as Haken Anime!, Mizuki Tsujimura.
The announcement came in this week’s issue of anan magazine, which also contains a 4-pages recap of CLAMP’s creative trajectory with highlights by Mizuki Tsujimura.
The original Haken Anime! novel was serialized in anan magazine from 2012 to 2014, each chapter featuring a colored illustration drawn by CLAMP. The chapters were compiled and released in book format in 2014. A paperback edition was later released in 2017. In 2019…

It’s always a great happiness to see a new cover of CCS! 😀
Gold, blue and fleur de lis = french royalty 😉
But it’s not quite the feeling it’s giving with her outfit design though hahaha
The cover for Card Captor Sakura – Clear Card arc #8 has been announced:
Blue is the color, just like volume 3. I love the white lilies. Sakura is looking prettier than ever.
It will be released on April 1st, along with the CD Drama (Part 2) Special Edition. The CD Drama script is written by CLAMP’s Nanase Ohkawa.
