Clamp
Cosmetics will be sold in a lottery-style game at Japanese convenience stores as part of Clamp’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
A lot has changed in the last 30 years, but this is one evolution old-school Clamp fans didn’t want to see.
Sorry, Kero-chan. You’re cute and all, but fans of the classic anime are definitely going to eat you.
Mascot Kero-chan will even be on hand to greet fans as part of celebration of the anime magical girl’s return to TV.
The other beloved magical anime girl from the ‘90s is ready to mix old and new in a more fan-pleasing way.
We now know exactly how long we’ll have to wait to see Sakura again, and what she’ll look like when we do.
“Sword of rouge” sounds like a fantasy weapon, but it’s an actual part of this makeup collection inspired by the hit Clamp anime.
The news just keeps getting better and better for fans of manga creative team Clamp’s beloved magical girl.
Cardcaptor Sakura is in the midst of a revival right now. We’re not sure what’s sparked the renewed interest in creative team Clamp’s magical girl franchise, as we’re still a year away from the manga’s 20th anniversary, and three years from that mark for its anime adaptation.
Still, plucky elementary school student and protagonist Sakura Kinomoto seems to be popping up more and more these days. A recent poll of anime fans named Cardcaptor Sakura the series they most want rerun on TV, and just last month we saw the release of a collection of cosmetics based on it. Now, in the latest round of new goodies, you can pair your manga makeup with some cute and stylish Cardcaptor Sakura shoes.
In Japan, it’s pretty common for high schools to prohibit students from wearing any sort of makeup. As a result, a lot of girls don’t get to use it on a daily basis until after they graduate, usually at the age of 18.
So perhaps it’s fitting that 18 years after its initial release, manga and anime franchise Cardcaptor Sakura is getting its own cosmetics set, meaning that everyone who came into the world as the same time as the series is now old enough to enjoy it.
