This scene actually appears in the 2nd chapter of volume 8, so I guess putting it as 'new' is not exactly right...

For the ones of you who have seen many of the colored illustrations of the mobile game, I'm sure you noticed that many of them were re-drawn in some parts or even significantly completed: for example, a scan of Sakura drawn up to her waist in the manga has legs added to it for the mobile game, other example that happens often is flowers: tons and tons of flowers added to pics.
That said, out of everything I've seen until now, this was the most modified. So much was redrawn that I consider it as a 'sorta new art'.

In case you're curious, this is the b&w page of the manga:( Read more...Collapse )

I don't know how closely the members of this community have been following up the new illustrations released for the Card Captor Sakura mobile game (2012-2013), but I've (arbitrarily :P) decided to make a post especially for it, listing them all and sharing the highest resolution I've got of them. I was actually going to do that in my own livejournal, but then thought I would post it here too.

( All the pictures under the cutCollapse )

NB: I didn't not include the latest Tomoyo illustration in this gallery because I've only got the snapshot from the PV of it.
EDIT May 3th: Tomoyo pic added

Most recent update: May 18th

This arrived about a week after its release in March, but I did not have the time to actually thoroughly look at this until now. There are some nicer photos out there and probably scans of most of these images, but in case you wanted a hands-on review of it....


( Cut for some details and photosCollapse )

Another illustration for the CCS mobile game was announced: this time, it's staring Tomoyo-chan! She is surrounded by hydrangeas, a flower which starts blooming starting from early Spring (until late Autumn). I suspect Kero is part of the picture (see the little umbrella on her side).

Enjoy the illustration:

And the PV (the 4th so far) it came from:

Hello! I hope this kind of request is okay; if not, please feel free to delete it.

I watched the xxxHolic live drama and liked Doumeki's actor Higashide Masahiro instantly. By accident, I found out that he has a feature (?) on Switch Magazine March 2013 issue, pages 52-58. At the same time I saw that xxxHolic has a part in the same issue too, on pages 124-125. Full contents are listed here.

ETA: Apparently Watanuki's actor Sometani Shota is also on this magazine?

Also, I couldn't find Suga Shikao's full version of the Aitai PV. Anyone? :(

I'm thinking of getting the magazine (and the single itself if budget allows) if no one has it though. I hope my request is reasonable. Thank you!

From chibiyuuto's facebook page:

CLAMP members had a lunch with Masao Maruyama from studio MAPPA. Masao Maruyama is the co-founder of MADHOUSE studios as well. They talked about the CLAMP anime adaptations produced by MADHOUSE such as Card Captor Sakura, Chobits, Tokyo Babylon, X and they hinted at a possible CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 3 coming soon!

All I can say is: bring it on! Anything you give us I'm taking! And I suspect that since we would be getting some new animation, it's sure to be accompanied with new artworks that goes with it too! XD
Last year was really quite 'dead' in the Clamp world compared to the previous ones, but WOW, 2013 started beautifully already!

A nendoroid (small figure made in chibi style) of CCS Kinomoto Sakura will be released in 2013, the exact time was not given though, so it could pretty well be on december 31th for all we know, so don't hold your breaths too soon!

If you look for it googling around, you will most definitely end up on this website: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/54791 , but the pictures you see are only a prototype made by Cool Drive Factory, while the nendoroid we are waiting for will be released by GSC (Good Smile Company) of which there is no preview at the moment.
I'm sure the final product by GSC will be beautiful, my only hope, SERIOUS hope, is that we won't see her AGAIN wearing that red outfit from the first opening of the anime, I have nothing against it, but I've seen it so many times along the years that I'm utterly tired of it >.<

CLAMP-NET is back for April 1st. Check out the lovely new illustration of our favorite April 1st birthday characters trying to recruit other April 1st-ers. And download the special wallpaper and April 1st dog tumbler cup inserts at links at the bottom. Happy April Fools'/CLAMP Day.


Also noticed this gem of a doodle at their twitter account.

o-m-g....gorgeous! @_@ Clamp sure are motivated with CCS art lately, the game is doing well in Japan then?

Seems like this illustration might very well be in celebration of Sakura's upcoming birthday on April 1st, at least this is what it looks like to me (she is even holding a present!).

If anyone got it in better quality please share with us!

EDIT [april 1st 2013]: here goes what it looks like inside the game:

Very xxxHOLiC!

mmhhh...the subject of this new thread sounds pretty familiar...ah yeah! I wrote the same thing one month ago! Will I ever get tired of writing it? NEVER! Keep them coming Clamp! If you are taking breaks from your ongoing series to draw more CCS, you are very welcome to continue (indefinitely)!

hum, back on track, here goes a boy-only artwork, I like both Syaoran's and Touya's expressions: they are showing faces I've never seen before in them, Yukito is the same as usual though ahaha~ I don't know what the japanese texts say, but it might be related to the game itself?
Just a random idea, but is it for White Day? Boys gifting flowers? Since we got a Valentine themed illustration after all (and an Xmas and New Year ones before that). If it's the case, it might be 'bad news'? Since there are no big events left I can think of...Easter maybe? Feels too close. We did get 2 artworks (alice in wonderland and chess) which had nothing to do with anything, so it's not hopeless?

If anyone has the complete picture in better quality, please share with us!

Suga Shikao's xxxHOLiC drama theme song, Aitai, has been released as a digital single on itunes and recochoku. The CD single will be released April 10th and will come with 3 tracks and a music video extra.

The xxxHOLiC live-action drama aired yesterday! CLAMP posted a sketch they gifted to Anne who plays Yuuko at @CLAMP_news.


Kodansha has a new banner for the upcoming xxxHOLiC Rei manga which will be in Young Magazine March 4th.


And on this new ad, you can see a tiny preview of the three illustrated panels of the upcoming xxxHOLiC artbook. It will be on sale March 29th.

Suga Shikao will release a new single, アイタイ (Aitai), April 2nd. The song will be used as the xxxHOLiC drama theme song. This is his first official single in two years and his first, since he has revealed that he has been fighting hearing loss.

He actually released a digital single last year, Festival, but I guess that's not an official single with his new label.

And...

Otona Fami magazine will feature an article with Anne and xxxHOLiC, and a feature on manga including CLAMP's CCS.


WOWOW has xxxHOLiC drama wallpapers for your computer or smartphones.
