Kyoto - CLAMP Exhibition

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

Just like they did last year, Clamp made 2 new crossover artworks for the Kyoto Exhibition. I suspect these illustrations will appear in/on the various merchandises that will be sold at the event, like usual.

The characters in the 2 illustrations were not chosen at random, they are all representing the series of which artworks will be exhibited: Magic Knight Rayearth, Card Captor Sakura, CLOVER, Chobits, Tsubasa-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and XxxHOLiC.

I'm surprised not to see TRC|Sakura, but no complains: I got CCS|Syaoran instead, so I'm perfectly happy :)

Pretty~! But kind of disappointed that artwork for a Kyoto Exhibition doesn't include Gate 7...

I can only suppose
1-there aren't enough Gate7 artworks to exhibit?
Or
2-that it might not be a good idea to show off illustrations of a series which have been put on hiatus indefinitely...
3-another thing is that Gate7 art was exhibited last year in Kyoto, and since the series stopped, there had been nothing new at all since then: everything available was already shown last year, so it's logical for them not to redo the same thing?

Clover is unfinished, and it's here.[/bitter]

I know what you mean, but at this point, Clover is more "discontinued" than "unfinished", a 15 years halt is enormous, and I remember even seeing some websites writing it off as "complete" (even though the fans know it's not...). I really love Clover too but stopped holding my breath for a new volume years back already, sadly D:

But anyway! What I was really thinking when I wrote '2' is more like that they don't want to bring attention to a series which was put on hiatus so recently and have questions asked about it, for which they would have no answers to give...

Or we are all thinking too much, there is no 'reason' really, they just chose the works they felt like exhibiting on a whim! ;)
CCS, TRC and Holic are not random though, they are either 'on going' or 15th anniversary for CCS case...

Clover !!! T_T after so many years , it still hurts @-@ ... I found it so weird that they include her along the other series . I think pretty much all the others are well known and the most famous and successful works of clamp .

Including clover there , a work that has an unfinished story , that only counts with a short ova and it isn't as famous as the others catch my attention ... Are they trying to get the attention of the people again to clover ? And for those that go to the exhibition and see clover to wonder ohhh that looks pretty what is that ? And bam ! Everyone start to talk about clover and get interested and ask to resume the story *_* ... And that is just me daydreaming U_U ...

I still hope that some day they give us the last chapters to know what happen with Sue and the others ... Sigh

I'm guessing that we are not seeing TRC Sakura because she isn't a going to travel with the others in the new series.
