OMG, expensive!!! D:

I've bought many Clamp artbooks so far, from Chobits, CCS, Wish, Tsubasa, North/South Side, Kobato, Code Geass, Mook books etc...but NONE of them went past 2000jpy! And I'm talking about artbooks from other series too, none went past the 3000jpy limit. But 6900jpy?! Seriously, what happened?!
This is the most expensive artbook I've personally ever come across in my entire life! @_@

I know right??? I was just realizing that myself! I hope this is going to be THE most fancy artbook ever xD

The dimensions seems peculiar: it looks like it's going to be a square, never seen that before personally. But I don't know if it's just the product preview which looks like that or if the actual final book will be square like

"xxxHOLiC: The Butterfly's Dream" will include over 160 illustrations from "xxxHOLiC". A double-door opening storage box is included, with the three illustrations printed on the box all being drawn exclusively. Also included is a short story by the novelist Tow Ubukata, known for "Tenchi Meisatsu" [aka Insight into the Universe, Tenchi: The Samurai Astronomer] and "Mardock Scramble".

Now, everything makes sens :)

Oh, the comment is still there, it is an Anonymous comment and it required my approval ;)

So it comes in a box, huh? Must be one hell of a fancy box! Maybe that would explain the square shape?

Thank you Anonymous-san for the translation!

oh, and something else, I actually stumbled upon a new illustration of CCS mobile game, in case you're interested, I believe the sketch was posted on twitter, but this is actually a part of the final image:

Oh I saw that too! Although I only posted on the Facebook and tumblr, I didn't post it on the LJ.

Thanks for letting me know, that's very nice of you!
