Volume 1 Cover and more!

[outou.livejournal.com]

The cover of the first tankoubon has been released: it seems that we'll be getting new illustrations! (Note how the mostly-black volume number is placed opposite of the mostly-white Ura-shichiken logo. Is it Tsubaki Nekoi or Satsuki Igarashi who normally does the volume layouts?) This volume will be released tomorrow. Thank you to chibiyuuto for telling everyone!



Also from chibiyuuto: earlier last month, CLAMP released some blog parts to commemorate the release of the first tankoubon. We're putting the codes and images here again for posterity.

I've been testing a new refutare layout for the comm that highlights the informational links. You can see it here; please tell me if it works with your browser, and if you have any recommendations for color schemes and images to use.

Finally, would anyone be interested in contributing to the writing of the chapter synopses and an upcoming "History and Lore" page? It would be best if this were a community project, and I'm interested in seeing what we can dig up together!

I have a lot of fun digging through the history and symbols of this manga, so I'd love to help on the history and lore bit (and can probably help with the chapter summaries as well, if needed). I should probably qualify that I am kind of a babe in the woods when it comes to a lot of this though - no cultural backround or formal training, just kind of a burning desire to *get it.* Would love to help, though!

Great, thank you! CLAMP seems to be cramming as much Japanese history and lore as they can into this series, so any help combing through it is appreciated -- no formal background needed.

Thanks for always taking the time to put these posts together. ♥

A community-run chapter synopses and history and lore pages sound like awesome ideas. I'm totally worthless when it comes to stuff like that, though, so I don't think I'll be much help. I'll just sit back here and be impressed by the amazing members of this comm. *_*

I wish I had more time to update the comm more often!

Pssst. Give us some awesome graphics, and we'll be square.

LOL! If the need for graphics ever comes up, I'd be happy to lend assistance ffff.
