CLAMP made a decently big announcement on their twitter/X.

CLAMP post that leads to link above.

Flying Dog licensed music is now available on most streaming sites, which means X and CLAMP Campus Detectives soundtracks. From my understanding, it's a worldwide release.

This also helps to fill out Ali Project's discography available on Spotify too, as they made some songs for CLAMP Campus Detectives.

The list of Albums affected are listed below, copied from the original link and translated by ChatGPT. Please keep that in mind since ChatGPT has been acting a bit more unreliable as of late.

THERE IS A CLAMP SCHOOL RPG?

please tell me someone has this. im trying to do digging and i can tell the trpg was published in the Clamp Campus Detective Public Guide Book, but i dont think its been translated into english. but god. i want to try to run a game with this.

[idreamofhamandcheese]

find the word tag!!

i love these thanks @the-stray-storyteller

my words: Crowd, Slip, Grow, Energy, Defense

I'm going to try to pull from only my most recently completed book and my current draft! Two very different stories lmao. Probably will be a lot more of last book, since new project is early days!

CROWD (from last book)

And then, like some sick divine joke, the crowds parted and there he stood. One hand in his pocket like the world wasn’t disintegrating around him, a gun dripping from his opposite fingers, glinting in the fiery glow. His sharp features were lit from beneath, casting long, monstrous shadows over his face. Reza’s eyes met mine, and even though we were half a ballroom apart, I thought I caught a glimpse of something in his expression— guilt? An apology, maybe?

But then it was gone. He was cold, cruel, the picture of Claw ice, surrounded by fire. In this light, I couldn’t be sure he was even human.

I was wounded, oozing with betrayal, reeling from the cold shock of it. But there, again, over everything, was anger. And it was scalding.

SLIP (from current project)

The page edges were uneven, rippled with heavy use. I paused, a finger slipped under the cover. Margot Aoki was a century dead. A century murdered, charred remains found lying at the bottom of the well on the edge of campus. A century unsolved, despite the private detectives, the armchair sleuths, the documentarians and the message-board aficionados. But what was so often forgotten was that, before she’d been a dead girl, she’d been a live one. One who had cared enough about her privacy to weld it to the inner machinations of a typewriter.

GROW (from current project)

Her pages were brief but detailed, reading more like witness statements than diary entries.

September 2. Train food utterly miserable-- veal and beetroot in a sauce like wallpaper paste. Cabin acquaintance is decrepit woman who has more luggage than kohl around eyes, which is some feat. Horrible. Monogrammed. Lime green. Will not cease offering of pastilles, as though am some sort of radioactive gelatin altar deity. Growing increasingly nauseous. Desperately need cigarette; cannot pry window open; just as well as am half of mind to throw self out of it.

ENERGY (from last book) {wtf i used the phrase "crackled with energy" far too much in this book}

He’d gotten good.

Why was I surprised? Reza spoke in riddles, in a way that infuriated my straightforward tendencies, but he never told an outright lie. He knew better than to insult me with that. But this, these twisting words and half spoken thoughts, things I saw him set up so carefully to ensnare me, just kicked me off further. Of course, when he’d told me in his bedroom that he’d been practicing, I’d known it a half truth. But I hadn’t guessed the whole of it.

Where I attacked the card table, he dissected it, probing with an evenness that interlocked head-on with the horns of my ferocity. Where I crackled, red-hot with the energy of the room, he languished in the kind of impenetrable surety that came from a life of security. Because where I flirted with ruin at the break of each game, each case, each smoky night in this city, he floated above it all. And as the evening crumbled into Mei’s quick hands, my fever distilled into a substance darker, purer. Resentment, cloying and scorched.

DEFENSE (from last book)

But no footsteps came rushing. Instead, with such decisiveness that I barely saw it happen, Reza clamped a hand on my wrist, knocking my pistol to the floor. Together, we watched it skid across the floorboards and disappear under his bed. The catsuit barely had breathing room for one holster, so I’d left my trusty knife behind, never having anticipated I’d be disarmed so easily. I was defenseless.

His hand was still on my wrist. I wrenched it up, catching him off-kilter and using the propulsion to switch our positions so that I was backing him against the wall. Knowing I couldn’t overpower him with sheer strength, I reached for the nearest weapon: the knife I knew he kept in the inside pocket of his suit jacket. My fingers brushed the solid mass of his torso before fumbling around the hilt of his knife. It was a heftier blade than my own stiletto, but it glittered just as prettily pressed to his throat.

I highkey loved clamp school detectives and clamp school defenders but i only had access to 2 books in a queensland library one afternoon, and have had to rely on my memory of it since.

So if you ever wanna rant/rave about either of them i will eagarly read it.

Also i was super excited when they picked up legal drug again (p sure legal drug was the reason my sister got into hello kitty).

oh holy shit! legal drug! i forgot about that. it's been a big while since i've read it, but i remember really enjoying that one. (and i think wish shopkeeper watanuki showed up in that one as well?? or was that just kobato? i think he showed up in kobato. either way it's always nice to see him)

i'm not actually amazing about putting thoughts into words tbh except that i,,, am tired of always talking about bnha no matter how much i love my fics for it. and i've always been super into anything clamp so just talking about it is fun, though i don't know much about what i'd say.

clamp school defenders is completely ridiculous and just. fun. it's a fun series. i enjoy it. maybe not quite as much as i enjoy other clamp works, but it is still dear to me.

clamp school detectives is also fun but somehow more. maybe it's the characters?? the trio is so iconic and it's fun to see them. i love nokoru so much and i'd give my life for him. i guess it's also pretty much a breath of fresh air to think about after spending so long reading x/1999. though i guess in relation to x/1999 you're of course forced to think about the fact that it's sest in the same universe, just in the future. and that's like (': oh. i guess the clamp school detectives are gonna die horribly then huh. fuck you clamp.

thankfully it went on hiatus i guess. i wouldn't want to see those three die. i do wonder about their dynamic as adults tho. like do suoh and nokoru know that akira is a phantom thief? is he still getting up to that? and what about duklyon? what are those guys doing in x/1999 when the world is ending? aliens were a thing in duklyon and that's so insane to think about in relation to the fact that this one universe is: duklyon, clamp school detectives, man of many faces, tokyo babylon, and x/1999 all wrapped up in one.

and actually! mentioning tokyo babylon. i need to bring up the fact that i swear i read somewhere that subaru attended the same class as the duklyon characters! like holy shit these guys were classmates. and i don't think subaru even knew that clamp campus was being taken over by aliens all the time.

like imagine x/1999 and imagine you're subaru and the worlds ending and imonoyama nokoru is hanging out with you guys a little bit because of that and he's like lmao remember when the school was being taken over by aliens everyday and you're like NO. and like. this is probably common knowledge. like,, imagine that everyone knows BUT subaru, because he was always busy. and you know it just makes me go a little crazy thinking about that. aliens technically exist in the x/1999-verse. of course they do.

idk if you've actually read x/1999 or tokyo babylon - my guess is no because you only mentioned the clamp school series and legal drug - but the implications of the clamp multiverse are far reaching.

We interrupt my art posting to share some photos of historical manga documents!!

I was cleaning this weekend and re-found my bundle of Hagunsei Senki manga chapters - a manga by CLAMP that was never completed to a first volume.  These are from the 4 chapters that were published.  

Its very, very old - from 1989/90!!!  I use to have a large 90s era CLAMP collection - I sold a lot of it years ago, but I kept this because of how incredibly obscure it was.  Several of the characters went on to be put in other CLAMP stories later on (CCD & X1999 mainly).

For those few out there who actually know this exists and have always wanted to see it - here you are :)

Yuzuru Hanyu and CLAMP are collaborating for a one night ice show called "GIFT" on 2.27.23. It will come with a picture book.

I cannot figure out whether this will be streamed at all but I'm excited about this regardless. Based on the name, one of the songs could be from Clamp Campus Detectives but that's 100% speculation.
