Avance de CLAMP in America

La editorial Del Rey ha colgado en su página web un pequeño extracto del libro CLAMP in America, más concretamente se trata de parte del primer capítulo.

Another girl was introduced to manga by Riyoko Ikeda’s popular The Rose of Versailles, a sweeping shojo adventure about a swordswoman who defends Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. She also got hooked on anime, especially Space Cruiser Yamato and the Gundam series. Her pen name would be Mokona.

Satsuki Igarashi also read The Rose of Versailles, as well as Osamu Tezuka’s history-spanning epic Phoenix and the beloved shojo soap opera Candy Candy. Her magazine of choice was Nakayoshi (Friends).

Tsubaki Nekoi bought Ribon, where she read manga like Milky Way by Hideko Tachikake. As she got older, her favorite manga artist became Moto Hagio, whose introspective science fiction and fantasy dramas introduced a deeper psychological dimension to shojo manga—

and helped popularize shonen ai (boys’ love), androgyny, and other gender-bending themes.

CLAMP in America está llamado a convertirse en un libro de referencia para todo fan de Clamp en occidente. El texto saldrá a la venta en mayo de este año, tendrá 352 páginas y costará 27,99$.
