   news! ( but no pics! )

"I don't know if any of you remember but in one of my previous post I said that the kimonos that were exposed on CLAMP Su would be featured in one of the Young Magazine issuess she well said, the thing is probably more to show GIRLS on kimonos rather than KIMONOS on girls, as we are talking about Young Magazine in here

Anyway, the kimonos were probably done by Mokona, I mean, the kimono itself, since she said she loves doing them, but the drawings and paintings must be by the 3 of them together (Mokona, Nekoi and Satsuki). The kimonos are really pretty... indeed they are simple but having CLAMP's drawing on them make them pretty

Remember that CLAMP Su pamphlet? So, funny enough, each of them represents each of those illustration, as you'll be noticing. My favorite one is definitively X's one... that blue dragon really looks awesome (not to mention the wings and gears), it makes a great effect on the kimono.

**CLAMP On The Ranking !

So, hum, YES CLAMP won one more time, they are simply TEH BEST XDD Err, sorry. Check out the best-selling mangas from the period of 15th to 21th of August from animate's store:

1st: Tsubasa #11 (Normal Edition)
2nd: Negima #11
3rd: Honey and Clover #8
4th: Air Gear #11

There's no mention of the deluxe version for Tsubasa nor CLAMP No Kiseki #12 (who usually always gets a position).

Way to go CLAMP ! Negima and Air Gear, as you know, are 2 titles also VERY famous in Shonen Magazine, but even so Tsubasa won the 1st place, yey !

I didn't use to check animate's ranking ever since the 1st vol was out, so I can't say Tsubasa had until now only won the 1st place, although I really feel like it did.

Remembering that this is ANIMATE's ranking, -only-, indeed is one of the biggest/most-famous anime/manga stores but is not the entire Japan


**And the Auctions are over...:

The auctions for the Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC signed pics are over and here are the final results:

Tsubasa: 2,002,000 yens, aka, around US$ 18,036.00
XXXHOLiC: 393,000 yens, aka, around US$ 3,540.00

Amazing, huh?
Just remembering that those were made using a dollar as 111 yens.

New version of CLAMP-NET !

CLAMP-NET's design has changed ! Yey, (with no warning at all) it really took me by surprise. Anyway, the site's structure is still the very same as the previous one, the only thing that changed was the design. It looks cuter, probably the thing that is most noticeable are the icons. Many, many new icons each one for one section. Even the series got their one. Kobato has her hat, Tsubasa has it's feather, XXXHOLiC has Yuuko's cigarette-thing, and so on.

But besides this, nothing really new. No new sections , no changes on Profile (except for the already-seen pics), not even new LOFTs or a new wallpaper *pouts*, even the links section hasn't been touched... and if I'm not wrong, there are some broken links on that

Oh yes, the news...

There's this present thing, on Sunday GX of this month, where people can submit to win an Ioriyogi ( kobato dog ) Ipod
There's also a tiny thing to attach it to cell phones with Kobato's bottle's miniature

On the pink one he's listening to some musics, and on the blue one he's showing off his teeth I'd choose the blue (really?) not only because it's blue but surely Ioriyogi's face would scare a the thieves

Weird enough, there's no mention of whether Kobato is in or out on next Sunday GX The site always shows the events for the next 30 days... weird. Also, not a word on the regarding 1st volume's release.

Tsubasa:

Next chapters scheduled ** = new

31/08 - Shonen Magazine #40 - No Tsubasa scheduled.
07/09 - Shonen Magazine #41 - Chapter 91, 3 color pages, beginning of tank 13.
**14/09 - Shonen Magazine #42 - No Tsubasa scheduled. (This was decided just now. According to the previous update, Chapter 92 was scheduled to be on this issue)
**21/09 - Shonen Magazine #43 - No Tsubasa scheduled.
**28/09 - Shonen Magazine #44 - Chapter 92.

In Shonen Magazine SPECIAL #10 (out September 20th) there'll be a Tsubasa short-comic called "The un-told World" (or something like that) and a CLAMP interview. I hope we get to see those too.

The second Soundtrack and second DVD for the anime series will be out respectively on September 22nd and 23rd.

XXXHOLiC:

Next chapters scheduled ** = new

29/08 - Young Magazine #39 - Chapter 85, 4 color pages, beginning of tank 8.

**12/09 - Young Magazine #41 - No XXXHOLiC Scheduled.
**17/09 - Young Magazine #42 - No XXXHOLiC Scheduled.
**26/09 - Young Magazine #43 - No XXXHOLiC Scheduled.

So, yes, what did we have with this update for XXXHOLiC? Pretty much very bad news ._. 3 weeks IN A ROW without XXXHOLiC? And 2 weeks IN A ROW with no Tsubasa at all? No Kobato scheduled too... is September CLAMP's vacation? I wonder what is going on ù.ú *prays for not been another broken hand*

ETC:

On a very fancy note, CLAMP will be hosting a lecture on nothing less, nothing more than Tokyo University of Art and Design (sorry if this is not the right name) during a festival called Creative Spiral Festival.
How fancy is that? A lecture on Tokyo University? About Art AND Design ! Why CLAMP don't come to MY University ? XDDD
Ah, the date is September 25th."
