A CLAMP exhibition will take place in Japan from July 3 to September 23, 2024. It’ll cover 23 different series and feature over 800 pieces of the original manga artwork. [Thanks, Oricon!]

News of this exhibition first came out in December 2023. The exhibition will take place at the National Art Center in Roppongi, Tokyo. Some of the series you’ll be able to check out while you’re there include Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, Angelic Layer, xxxHolic, and Tokyo Babylon. Artwork will be in both monochrome and color.

All of the merchandise feature either CLAMP characters or the CLAMP logo. 

CLAMP is an all-female manga group that currently consists of four members. Aside from the above manga and anime series, it created Magic Knight Rayearth, X, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. There are a variety of different themes and plots for each series, but generally speaking CLAMP’s works feature the idea of fated couples and pure love. The idea of pure love extends beyond gender confines and CLAMP’s series often feature either implied or explicit same-sex couples. There is also the idea of a CLAMP universe in which multiple characters often appear in other works, or look like them.

The CLAMP exhibition will take place in Tokyo from July 2 to September 23, 2024.
