And still not a single ****ing thing about World Embryo.

GIVE US A DAMN RELEASE DATE YOU BASTARDS. You've been holding onto it for almost a YEAR now and not a SINGLE volume has been released.

Either give up the license or release something, because it's completely unfair I can't read the ONE LONE MANGA SERIES I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT.

They would announce the CLAMP news right after I found a few copies of CCS at Half Price Books. xD But I'm totally getting all of the new omnibus editions!! Since I have yet to get any of those series... xD

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of CLAMP, Dark Horse will be releasing omnibus editions of five of the group's titles, starting with Clover, which was released this past June, and followed by Chobits, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Card Captor Sakura. Edited by industry veterans like Carl Horn, each omnibus will be around 800 pages long, and will condense three to four graphic novels per book.


OH GOD! I just came.

Clover is one of the sexiest books on my shelf, and now I get to add CCS, Chobits and Rayearth to it.

Shit.

This totally made my dad, if not week, if not month, this is like the best news ever!

Now just some information on the 'stalled' or at least missing future volumes of their current series (MPD-Psycho, Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service both stuck on volume 9), and some news of the status of Gate7 and I'll be sold for the year.

My money is consistently going to Dark Horse and Yen Press, I love it =D

Viz' Signature line and Haikasoru line (that I just updated myself with the news of new titles) is growing massively as well, and if it continues to be free of censorship and treats older more mature readers like myself happy (I'm actually only 19, but still), then I'll be adding more of their titles to my shopping list : )

May double-dip for more CSS Very Happy

Maybe Chobits too. Still considering getting TokyoPop's Chobits for nostalgic reasons.

MKR's still in the air, as I already have it all.

They mentioned that there would be five CLAMP titles. So I guess we should assume that MKR counts as two titles?

Or CCS as two? Tokyopop did release it as CCS and then CCS: Master of the Clow... or maybe they're just holding out on us for now. I personally want them to release a version of Wish...

Interesting, I may check out the Cardcaptor Sakura omnibuses. Nice to see the Clamp love! I find more than slightly agitating that they are shafting most of their non-Clamp titles in the proccess though.... Crying or Very sad Also, why are they continuing to delay the Mangettes project?

Tsubasa and XXXholic are still ongoing and appear to be finishing.

Also from a previous ANN news story:

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-03-26/clamp-mangettes/gate-7-cover-posted-on-amazon-japan

Mangettes should be appearing in 2010. CLAMP probably wants to take a short break before beginning this new work. But in all honesty I would like to see them shelve the Mangettes project so that they can begin working on and finishing up Legal Drug and X/1999. I can only hope that they will finish those two series up some day.

Err...That's not what that person meant, I don't think...I'm pretty sure they were talking about Dark Horse not publishing other manga titles, and not about CLAMP not finishing their other series (though who could argue there?).

Also, the article about the Mangettes project isn't true anymore, as the Amazon Japan listing for it is gone now, along with the Canadian one that was taken down before. Who knows when the project will actually happen. From what I've heard, even Dark Horse doesn't know much about it right now.
