CCS CC volume 01 Special Edition

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

For the ones who are not aware of it, the first volume of the new series of CCS : Clear Cards arc, is scheduled to be released on December 2nd, 2016 in Japan.

There is going to be a normal edition and a special limited one, the later will come with a “mangaka set” featuring watercolor pencils, a comic pen shaped like the sealing wand, a tracing board shaped like a Clow card and more...which is all nice and good, but as you can in the newly revealed ad bellow, the price was revealed, and the special edition cost 2280jpy+tax (meaning 2462jpy), which is a LOT! D:

If you are not used to purchase japanese books, if I were to make a comparison, 2500jpy would be comfortably the price of a full fledge big A4 artbook with more than a hundred colored illustrations printed on glossy smooth paper, and mind you: I said 'comfortably the price of...'... but in this case, while it is indeed great that we got a mangaka set, as far as we know, the book itself is the regular edition: normal book with ~180pages, all in black and white and nothing out of the ordinary...

There's more stuff that comes with it :>?? Like...please more artcards maybe :P

Even Vol 9 special editon which included artcards was only something like 2,000Jpy? (twice as much as the regular ed.)
but 2,500+jpy is going to cost me like $30 Dx!!
They dont do coloured pages anymore ; -;??

But if is going to come with more than those items it might justify the price? I think we're going to be paying for the extra items and the fact it's special ed.

I'm guessing it will take a few days till this is available on other websites :p?

Well, you know me so you can tell I am definitely pre-ordering this, but I would definitely have liked them to offer it at a more reasonable price...

There is no more info as far as I know (unless it's written on the ad above, but since I can't read it, sorry ^^;) and to this point, there is no telling how the book itself is: I personally assumed that it would be identical to the 2015 edition, since all the latest CCS books (including artbook and memorial box) were all made to match = no color pages inside.

Out of all the CCS manga editions released to this day, only 1 had color pages inside: it was the hard cover deluxe edition, and it doesn't seem like they are going in that direction: the feeling I got is that they are going to add tons of gifts but leave the book as is=regular edition.

It indeed seems like we will have to wait a little more until it's available elsewhere, in my case, on amazon japan :) But it shouldn't take too long~ I'm also waiting for the Tsubasa books to be listed!

Lol lots of gifts are good too xD
but they would save money if they made pretty coloured pages :P

Yes still something we would definately buy. So maybe there will be "Alternative Cover" like Vol 9 but we will be seeing that clear sleeve with it. Will keep an eye out for different prices on sites.
