CLAMP Profiled on the NY Times

1 Comment

clamp.jpgAs Otaku culture continues to permeate the west we continue to see it in mainstream media more often. Such as the New York Times, which has profiled CLAMP on their website. The article delves into the different styles CLAMP uses in their works as well as their relevance as female authors in the manga business.

It also shows that being girls, they have an advantage in reaching the female audience:

“It’s common in girls’ manga for a character to transform, as Sailor Moon does, and we wanted to incorporate that into ‘Sakura,’ ” Ms. Ohkawa said. “But many of them always wear the same outfit, so we wanted to add a twist. We feel it’s pretty sad for a girl to wear the same outfit all the time.”

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with CLAMP and my girlfriend loving everything this troup of deviants put out only fuels the fire, but I’m still here, posting this. Go read.
