'Nirai Kanai Hen' ends next month...not Tsubasa World Chronicles?

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

CLAMP are very specific about being “Nirai Kanai hen” arc’s final chapter, NOT “Tsubasa - WoRLD CHRoNiCLE -” as a whole. [次号は「-ニライカナイ編-」最終回！]

CLAMP blog entry

Well, I would lie if I said I was surprised, actually, I would be surprised if anyone out there was seriously shocked by this news: the maths are quite easy here -> we know Syaoran is condemned to travel through worlds indefinitely + the title was changed to "Tsubasa World Chronicles" + there is evem a "subtitle": Nirai Kanai Hen, showing us clearly this was only one world out of many that they were visiting...
Also, looking at Nirai Kanai Hen events, nothing in it affected or advanced the Story as a whole, it was way too much of an independant story (although I can't say I was against getting a breather from all the drama, and just have the guys play around for a bit for once) besides these few last chapters in which Clone|Daddy Syaoran was included, and Watanuki's goods seem to have a purpose.

Considering that Syaoran is my forever favorite male character, my opinion is totally biased, so I will say I am very happy the probability of seeing more of him is quite high, but I can perfectly understand that some fans are not too happy with it all, or even angry. (and asking for their other series on hiatus to be restarted)

Another thing, is that if there is really going to be more TWC, I hope CLAMP won't be taking a 5 years break like last time: if a series is on-going, then just release the chapters, else we are SERIOUSLY all going to be really old when TWC ends with 5 years breaks between each arc ^^; (scary!) Well, I say that but I don't think it's going to happen, it will be more like a few months break? 1 year?...or are we getting an inmediate continuation right away? @_@ Clamp are not getting any younger after all, there are all nearing their 50s, logically, I don't think they really have the luxury to let years and years pass by like this, or at least, not 5 years periods; they will retire at some point after all...

Honestly? I think Clamp retired a long time ago but didn't want to inform their fans. There are many mangaka who continue to work and produce but Clamp hasn't had a real serialised manga in a while now. Maybe there are personal reasons they don't want to talk about. *shrugs*

Clamp has pretty much become legendary with their breaks and hiatus ^^;

Nonetheless, these past 5 years they still produced something as mangakas:

Gate7: march2011-on going / 4 volumes (23 chapters)
Drug&Drop: 2011-on going / 2 volumes (17 chapters)
xxxHolic Rei: march2013-on going / 3 volumes (47 chapters)
Tsubasa World Chronicles Nirai Kanai Hen: august2014-on going / 3 volumes (19 chapters)

They released a total of 106 chapters in 5years/60 months, which is an average of 1.8 chapters per month.

We are outraged, disappointed, always wanting for more, and crying over all these series on hiatus, but in spite of all appearances, Clamp are actually working ^^;

It's safe to say that Gate7 and Drug&Drop have ended since that whole "hiatus" thing isn't really convincing any more since the same thing was said about Clover and X. XXXholic and Tsubasa are basically AUs of their other works and seems to not end if the plot is any indication.

I've been a fan of Clamp for over 15 years but the sad fact is that they no longer produce works like they used to.

I've known about Clamp for more like 18-19 years? myself. I believe the first title of them I might have known might have been X? Tokyo Babylon? Not sure, it was too long ago.

Clover is SO dead, I stopped even hoping year ago; for X, it's not looking good at all, pretty much dead too :'(

To be honest, I really have no idea what is going to happen to Drug&Drop at this point...but I'm not holding my breath ^^; It is quite surprising though: I believe this is the very first manga which they took back and started up again, and even came up with a new title and re-released the first 3 volumes with new covers. I sincerely thought "that was it" and that they had resolutely decided to end it. But not only were most of the chapters painfully short, but a 2nd hiatus is really not serious of them, as professionals! D:

But I personally do not despair just yet about Gate7: even though the series itself is on hiatus, they still kept on using the 3 major characters in TWC-NKHen, and the events of the manga are even happening in Kyoto, where Clamp recently moved ^^ So, at this point, I am still crossing my fingers and hoping that the end of NKHen will be followed but new chapters of Gate7!
