I got it earlier this week. It's pretty thick and has a lof of nice features.

It has character information (like statistics for Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, etc), information about the worlds they've been in, an interview of CLAMP, a bonus chapter and poll results of Japanese fans. There's also a bit of fan art contributed by Japanese readers. There are 4 colored illustrations -- nothing new -- and lists of the merchandise available for the series.

Also, it only covers info up to v7 of the manga.

It's about 250 pages, but the bulk of the content is text, with pictures from the manga inserted here and there. It's NOT an artbook, so if you're looking for illustrations, you'd probably be better off buying the hardcover editions. Also, I really wouldn't advise buying it if your Japanese reading skills are non-existent or poor (like mine).

I picked it up too. It really is a lot of text and recap or the manga. There were some interesting plot points focused on like the symbols used in the manga and anime. Look at the circle Mokona makes when he teleports. You can see Fay and that bad guy's symbols in the circle.

I thought Mokona's circle is basically Yuuko's circle, isn't it?

(Also, is this the manga or anime guidebook you're referring to? I know the anime guidebook just came out last week)

They weren't that bad

I actually put up a review of the anime fanbook up on my livejournal: http://www.livejournal.com/~tricianna/220843.html

Haha. Well they were good photos... just printed on newspaper quality paper and in black and white. I don't know... I like my magazines to be in colour.

totally understandable!! but i still can't bring myself to buy the deluxe manga editions though

Brad · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31 2005, 06:55 pm »

THOSE are cool! Definitly love those! Great on display and coloured pages, etc! Love the covers on these more than the regular volumes too.

You're lucky, I wanna see the guide book too T________T

scarecrow_wingz · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04 2005, 06:32 pm »

i bought the character guide!! there's the original rough drawing of the first chapter at the end...it's fascinating...

Just want to say hi to the Aussie. I'm from Sydney too! Love Kings Comics, though a little pricey.

Odds are they'll release another book later in the series to cover more of it.
