Details

Author: CLAMP

(1) Special clear sleeve designed with new illustration by CLAMP
(2) "Special 1/1 Kero-chan plush" made based on (1) illustration
(3) "Nakayoshi furoku-fuu birei calendar" including 5 illustrations that are published as a book for the first time
(4) "Special booklet" (16 pages) including bangai hen manga.

*Manga work included in the booklet is a rerecording of short stories that were included in 1998 released "Cardcaptor Sakura illustration collection".

***************************

So yes, it's now 100% confirmed that we are getting the oneshot from the 90's artbook...
It's interesting to see they are using yet again a clear sleeve, like they did for the artbook and the special edition of vol09.
It's also a surprinsingly nice touch of them to take the pain to make a Kero plushy which looks like the artwork of the memorial box: they could have just put a random plush toy version of Kero ^^;
As for the calendar's illustrations, it feels like they are going to use the latest pictures released these past few month in the Nakayoshi, which is not bad really: they are all quite nice and having a textless and well printed version is good ^_^
I'm not sure what to feel about the "card shaped" calendar though: I hope they are not talking about the dimensions, because it means it's going to be quite little ^^;

EDIT: also available for pre-order at CDJAPAN and AMAZON.CO.JP

Oh no 😓, I was looking forward for the mini manga of Sakura childhood memories and now we know it's the same we got on the previous artbook 😭 ... Anyway , who am I kidding I will still get the box 😁 but I wished they could have included some exclusive material in here beside the Kero plushie 👉👈 ... Btw , thanks for sharing ! 😉

Preorders closed ;---;?? Already!?!? I was totally going to order off Amiami cause they dont charge right away then I saw your message T -T

Bahaha a card sized calendar, please no XD that would be ridiculous. Could be "rectangular" and the backs of the pages? Still kinda doesnt make sense

I pre-ordered it yesterday from amazon japan: LInk (https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4063588408/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) who also do not charge until the item is ready to be shipped ;)

And I indeed hope they are only talking about the shape of the calendar! It better be bigger than that! XD

I know uh? We complain but we still buy ^^; I personally got mine from amazon.co.jp yesterday :)
Well, at least, we are guarantied to get textless and well printed color illustrations! And I hope the 'box' itself will be nice too! :D

If you absolutely want it from amiami, I contacted them about the fact the pre-orders were closed instantly after the item was listed, and this is their answer:


Thank you for mailing us.

It is a tentative pre-order, in this case we are currently checking if we can accept pre-orders for it.
Kindly keep an eye on the website as the status will be updated should we be able to open the pre-orders.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for shopping at AmiAmi.

And yesss! A cute little Kero plush with a giant pink bow (and hopefully little blush lines)! I totally would love to have one :0! I just checked back at what Kero looks like the illustration that the plush will be referenced from xD
