CLAMP originally began in 1989 as a twelve-member dōjinshi circle, but by 1990, the circle had diminished from twelve to seven. Of the remaining seven, Tamayo Akiyama, Sei Nanao, and Leeza Sei left the group during the production of the RG Veda manga. Other former members of CLAMP also included Soushi Hishika, O-Kyon, Kazue Nakamori, Yuzuru Inoue and Shinya Ōmi. Currently, there are four members in the group.
In 2004, CLAMP's 15th anniversary as a mangaka group, the members changed their names from Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona Apapa, Mick Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi to Ageha Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi and Satsuki Igarashi (her name is pronounced the same, but written with different characters) respectively. The August 2004 issue of Newtype USA, a magazine specializing in events of the anime and manga subcultures, reported that the members of CLAMP simply wanted to try out new names. In a later interview with Ohkawa, it was revealed that initially Mokona wanted to drop her surname because it sounded too immature for her liking, while Nekoi disliked people commenting that her name was the same as Mick Jagger's. Ohkawa and Igarashi, wanting to go with the flow of Nekoi's and Mokona's name changes, changed their names as well.
In 2006, they made their first USA public debut at Anime Expo in Anaheim, California. They were well received at the convention, with 6,000 fans in attendance at their panel.

To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of CLAMP as a group (2004), they in conjecture with Tokyopop for the North American release decided to issue a twelve volume series that covered CLAMP's magna and anime works up to that point along with a collectable chess board with three pieces given in each volume.
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is happening this weekend (11–12 May) and I thought that I would review CLAMP no Kiseki – a set that I got years ago for the chess pieces, but never read. So, I thought that I would review it as the festival is happening.
CLAMP no Kiseki, Vol. 12 covers the next five tankōbon of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and the first tankōbon of Kobato, character profiles, official art, an interview with CLAMP about both series, and an exclusive short comic with special interviews with Yoshinori Mino, Masafumi Mima, and Yoshiaki Sato.
Included in this volume is three chess pieces: White King Syaoran (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle), White Pawn Mokona Modoki (Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle), and Black Pawn Mokona Modoki (xxxHolic).
Overall, CLAMP no Kiseki is a wonderful celebration of the first fifteen years of CLAMP's body of work. Although, I originally collected the series because of the chess pieces, as I am a huge chess aficionado, and not particularly a fan of CLAMP. Regardless, it is still a wonderful tribute to one of the most popular and prolific manga artist groups.
All in all, CLAMP no Kiseki, Vol. 12 is a beautiful book of art, lore, and history that celebrates the work of the manga artist group CLAMP.

Bastante aburridón, y para "hablar de todo Clamp" realmente solo se centra en el perro de Kobato.
Aparece Tsuki no Hito, pero muy leve. Pero eso sí me gustó.
