This is...strange?
I mean, the fact so many books (there are 3 of them!) which release dates are also so close from now were not announced anywhere until now?

Needless to say though, this is welcome to me: it won't be difficult to purchase since I don't think they will cost a lot, these are all 'normal' books, and getting a new holitsuba comic + artworks is always great ^_^

When I asked them where they got the news from, they said from Shonen Magazine. And it was oddly specific info so I assume it's ok. If true, it'll probably get announced in the next week or so.

I think it's one of those unpublished holitsuba comics, not new.

:O
Do you think these will be published in english later too like the last guide book ><?

You might want to wait a little bit more and see if this news is actually verified before thinking about the english release? ^^;
It sounds legit, and the content of each book makes sens too, but it wasn't announced in CLAMP blogs and it doesn't appear in Kodansha's list of releases as of today, so...

Nonetheless, if they are all released, there is a real possibility they might be published in english, but no guarantee, like usual...you could purchase at least the artbook, since it's only illustrations and it doesn't matter which language it is, and leave the other 2 for later?

The french news site sent me a scan of from Shonen Mag confirming the books.

6wendybird91, you'll have to ask Kodansha USA to see if they'll publish these. I'm guessing it'll depend on how the Tsubasa omnibus volumes are doing.

Thanks for adding the scan ^__^

Looks like we will indeed be graced with three TRC books, great! :D

Oh my the news is confirmed :D and I hope Kodansha will publish these :O The character/guide books would have to be understandable for me to fully enjoy these books filled with text :'I

Thank you for the updated info :D
