Regarding Clear Card’s serialization
Since I’ve received some asks regarding this before chapter 34 was officially out (evidently, due to leaks the rumors got spread out), I couldn’t really reply to them, especially because there was no confirmation from official sources yet.
The situation is the following:
CLAMP usually take 1 month of break (corresponding to one issue of Nakayoshi) typically around summer time, for their well deserved rest. This happens annually ever since 2017.
So, well-informed fans were already expecting this break sooner or later (maybe a bit later, but…).
So what happened here? At the end of chapter 34, right under Syaoran’s panicked face, there’s the usual つづく(to be continued), but this month there isn’t the indication of which issue CCS Clear Card will be back in.
If we have to read it as it is, it means “it’s gonna be continued, but we don’t know in which issue”. Even in the event of breaks, there’s always been the indication of the returning issue.
This might be due to 2 reasons:
At the moment of printing, they really didn’t know in which issue CCS would be back;
A miss on the editorial side, which forgot to add the little month number beside it.
Nakayoshi usually has got a couple of pages at the end of the magazine in which are listed and advertized all the manga appearing in next issue, + advertisement for next month’s furoku. CCS is not there.
This might be an additional confirmation that CLAMP is indeed taking that break next month, even though there’s still the weird issue of the missing returning issue.
What CLAMP’s official website says for June? Nothing, the schedule is pretty empty with only the Exhitibition in Osaka being listed for June 8th. There isn’t a chapter 35 scheduled for June 3rd and so another confirmation Clear Card won’t be there next month.
However, Nakayoshi decided to confuse people even further, because if we check on their website, on the page “Next month’s issue”, CCS Clear Card is present among the serialized series. Is this a mistake?
This is the current situation, this is what we know as of now.
Nowhere was even mentioned about a “hiatus” (which means a long-term break), so Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card isn’t going to be interrupted or dropped like many are fearing right now (CLAMP don’t hate their series, there were other reasons if other series were interrupted).
SO PLEASE, PLEASE, STAY CALM WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE TWEET FROM NAKAYOSHI OR CLAMP’S TWITTER ACCOUNTS CLARIFYING ABOUT THIS SITUATION ONCE AND FOR ALL.
For the moment, let’s take this as another one of their usual annual breaks.
Thank you for reading!
