Got this from Delrey's newsletter:
Great Googly Moogly! Best Manga of 2005!!
We just got some news that has all of us here at Del Rey Manga Central dancing a jig: Anime Insider has named CLAMP's xxxHolic as the Best Manga of 2005!
From the magazine:
"But even CLAMP's storytelling and extraordinary artwork is only half the reason why xxxHolic takes first prize. Del Rey has gone above and beyond with it's English edition of the beloved manga. Like all Del Rey manga, the series retains all original honorifics, and a convenient but thorough set of notes explaining Japanese phrases and references—incredibly useful for xxxHolic with all it's crossovers with Tsubasa.
But xxxHolic goes one step further; each volume includes a color insert (all too rare in American manga) of CLAMP's gorgeous art. With xxxHolic, CLAMP has taken the care to make this an independent tale of supernatural fears and human drama, and they've created their best work yet—and Del Rey has cared just as much in bringing the series to the U.S."
What's left to say, but THANK YOU!
Not bad, eh? As much as I love Tsubasa,
xxxHolic is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of storytelling and characterisation!
