CLAMP 20th Anniversary Pic
Back when I was 13-14 and I started reading manga and going to buy them at comic shops, I stumbled across X/1999 by CLAMP. It made such a huge impression on me that my nickname comes from one of its characters and it´s definitely up in my Best Manga rating of all dates.
But CLAMP is not just X, it´s so so so many amazing stories and characters, talented art and a particular and unique way of understanding how manga should be done. I can´t help but bow at how they change their whole drawing style for each story, but keep everything under their Clamp-verse seal. And even though they´ve been accused of using too many crossovers, I think it all falls into a deep, structured Clamp Plan to Conquer the World.
These four women stole my heart so many years ago, and now, thanks to the Clamp Fanbook Project, maybe we´ll have the chance to show our love once again (I think the Paris Japan Expo success is a good proof). Here´s my appreciation pic.
TwT I love CLAMP <333
Because I´m a disaster and did it so quickly, I had to draw and colour inside of each letter xD And it was so hard to choose! I like so many of their characters and mangas...
Chara list, left to right: Chii + Atashi (Chobits), Kamui (X/1999), Suu (Clover), Sakura + Kero (CCSakura), Mokona + Fay (Tsubasa RC), Watanuki + Kudakitsune (xxxHolic) and Subaru (Tokyo Babylon)
