The group of mangaka that make up CLAMP have made history in the history of manga and anime, and surely you know at least one of their works, such as Chobits, which began in the early 2000s and unlike the shojos they commonly publish, this manga is a seinen. And these days CLAMP has surprised us with great news that will surely delight many fans.
Chobits returns with Premium Collection
A few days ago they announced that all 24 episodes of the anime produced by Studio Madhouse, will be available for Japan for a limited time through Kodansha’s YouTube Channel “Full☆Anime TV”. The announcements this week have not stopped and this time they have surprised Chobits fans, as the story that combines science fiction and romantic comedy is back in an incredible new collector’s edition.
Recently, the CLAMP group through its official Twitter account, has announced that from its “CLAMP PREMIUM COLLECTION” series comes a new installment of Chobits. This new edition will have new covers drawn by CLAMP and in addition to this, each issue will include postcards of the illustrations of the 8 volumes of the previous edition.
In addition, as an extra bonus when purchasing all the volumes, you can request the delivery of a special folder designed to keep these postcards, to do so you must review the details that will come in each volume. The first volume of the Premiun Collection edition of Chobits is available starting today and can be purchased on Amazon. The other volumes will be published monthly.
Let’s remember that Kamite Manga Publishing currently publishes the first version of Chobits, and although the announcement of this new edition is very recent, it could be that in the future they will surprise the fans, so you should be aware of their networks. CLAMP has many well-known works such as Magic Knight Rayearth, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, and perhaps the most popular Sakura Card Captor, but without a doubt Chobits has a less childish touch, but no less interesting for that.
If you don’t know this work, you should give it a chance. The story is about a boy named Hideki Motosuwa, who arrives in Tokyo to enter university. With the advancement of technology, human-shaped computers known as “Persocons” have been created, besides having the functions of a computer, they are also used as companion beings, so it is common for almost everyone to have one. But since they are expensive, Hideki cannot afford to buy one.
One day he finds a very particular “Persocon” thrown away in the trash and names it Chii. Eventually he suspects that it might be a unique model and that it might correspond to the romantic feelings that are emerging from this relationship, so they will have to find out if a human and a “Persocon” can be together. Tell us, what did you think of this spectacular issue?
