[Interview] Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

Just a short CLAMP mention in today's ICv2 interview with Dark Horse CEO, Mike Richardson. (Click for full article).

A.
......We were attempting to work with the creators, which is the same way we’ve attempted to work in the past in the United States. That’s what I mean when I say we were trying to be creator-specific as opposed to genre-specific with regard to the shojo.

As far as the coming year we’ll probably be more in that area then we’ve ever been because we’ve made a deal with Clamp, probably the premier manga and anime group in Japan, the group of women who create these books that are the basis for so much animation and so much printed content.

Q:
You’re doing some omnibuses, right? And you have an art book coming out?
A.
Yeah, we’re doing omnibuses, we have a variety of projects coming from them and we have some surprises coming in.

i think clamp usually takes some breaks around this time. holiday planning or something. :)

'variety of projects' and 'surpises' from the interview sound interesting. :)

'Variety of Projects'?

My brain is saying 'interesting' but my heart is screaming 'X! X! X! X!!!!!!'.

Because they have a Japanese Publication branch, yes? They would totally release direct to Tankoban X volumes, yes?

The only thing which can make me surprise mostly is the last volume of X1999 ToT
