Background Information of the CLAMP group Options

[yuzuki chan17]

CLAMP is a all female member creative team that has been producing Japanese manga since 1988. it's current member's today are Ohkawa Nanase (story, script, and character design), Apapa Mokona (drawing, illustration and background), Nekoi Mick (drawing and illustration) and Igarashi Satsuki (design, development, and assistant to drawing and illustration.)

The team started out with 11 members. Their earliest work was a doujinshi (an illustrated fan comic of limited publication) Derayd was CLAMP's first manga, published in 1989.

Fantasy manga is what CLAMP is known for. Their wispy drawings are perfect for their storylines.

When RG Veda was published between 1990 and 1996, the CLAMP group had dropped from 11 to 7. Shortly after, CLAMP only consisted of the four women who are there today.

People are often confused to Ishida Atsuko's relation to the CLAMP group. She created the dark anime series Shamanic Princess and did the character designs for Magic Knight Rayearth. She actually isn't related to the group at all.

CLAMP has been around for 14 years and is still putting out beautiful artwork that is known by it's wonderful techniques.



yes, so that is your basic background information on the CLAMP group. I didn't write this. I took it from my Tokyo Babylon DVD and re-worded it so it isn't so long =D hehehe

Like the flames I lost you to, sadness overwhelms me, too

The rain sends shivers down my spine and seeps into my memory

Who was it that loves you so? Who was it that hates you so?

I gasp in pain- the memories begin to swirl inside my mind
