clamp should stop they're terrible.


Just because you don't like them does not mean they are terrible.

Sure, some of their works are quite questionable but they are far from being terrible.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

FINALLY. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD NEVER RESUME. ; u ; especially after I waited past 2008 when they said they would resume. I feel so happy.
I can't believe neither my anime nor manga list is completely listed

Give us some X, please.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm sorry, CLAMP is a total joke now; they used to have a whimsical sense of childishness and charming cheesiness to their works, but now they're just complete jokes, I can't take anything they do seriously.

It's just so surprising that CLAMP even revived one of their hiatus series! I'm assuming DMP will relicense the series if it gets more volumes. But yeah, it's a good thing that they didn't throw away an idea. *now awaiting X to be revived as well, but it's most likely after Gohou Drug.

Indeed, since that was the only respectable thing about Code Geass lol and no, this manga is not yaoi.

Guys, it's not yaoi or shounen ai, it's BL. Shounen-ai is an outdated term that now refers to pedophelia as shounen means young boy.

Fix'd

Anyways, yeah they have good artists but apperantly none of them can do a proper story structure that includes an ending....

I have yet to read a Clamp manga that has had a REAL conclusive ending, everything is so open and can be interpreted a million ways.

Don't get me wrong I LOVED TRC, but the "ending" is......annoying.

LOLWUT???

It's two guys who are GAY for each other.....

I don't care if there are sex scenes or not, that's Yaoi in my book, and it annoys me that clamp is focusing on this shit instead of a serious manga or the REAL conclusion to some of their more important titles.

Terms do not mean what You want them to mean. They mean what people consensually make them mean. Guess what? Most people here in this topic seem to have the same definition. Yaoi = shounen-ai = BL = gay. I'm not saying this in a pejorative way mkay? It's just objectively gay, I don't like it, but some people do, so well, good for them.

Anyway, even without messing with what's the definition of the word, words express meaning, if you can get the meaning, it doesn't matter if the word is slightly incorrect. That's why people say "This anime is shit!" while in reality the anime is not really excrement.

It looks...kind of interesting. Since the only thing from clamp I actually like (really like) is Chobits, I'm thinking I should branch out more with their titles. Though if it's Shounen-Ai I'm not quite sure about reading it (not a big Yaoi fan).

Some people come off as so close-minded instead of supportive. If you don't have anything decent to say, don't say hateful things.

I'm happy for the excited or curious people that get more of something they like, and I don't have to like BL to feel that way.

Sure, no more raging BL, but there still could be more. Even then, what about the first 3 volumes? Eitherway, I don't see how this can appeal to me or any other guy, unless they just want to read every single damn CLAMP manga. Unless this ends shortly, ehhh. Of course it can do well if every damn fujoshi switches to Young ACE and it does well, I don't know then.

Well apparently you need to take over Young Ace and tell them how to do things then. Gohou Drug was never really part of CLAMP's circle jerk, but you'd have to inform yourself to realize this and go against the general flow of the rest who dismiss Gohou Drug in the thread. Japanese seinen magazines can be tolerant of even outwardly gay characters, such as the popular Kinou Nani Tabeta? that runs in Morning KC. Young Ace even had Mirai Nikki Paradox, which starred Akise. Despite (or because of?) his fixation on Yukiteru, he was still a popular character. Yes, even amongst "other guys." I think it will be okay, even if there is "more." It will likely not be raging level, something we can all be thankful for. Subtle is good.

Well perhaps you should take a gander at this, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shounen%20ai. It's not just on Urban Dictionary, it's everywhere.

Are they going to resume it or restart the series with the same caracters? I thought that since the members of CLAMP had changed over the years, the older works were protected by copyright laws and stuff and that's why they couldn't finish it? I didn't read this anywhere, thought, I just assumed that was the reason. I checked this same news in ANN and even though it has the same source, they state it's a remake or something, ummm.

I'll probably check it out anyway. I've been wanting to read it for a long time, but I was forever bitter about starting it and not being able to finish it EVER.

8 years, good grief! Certainly, took long enough! I've been waiting for TRC , xxxholic to end, and then waited some more for kobato to end...finally for this series to resume. I'm hoping the essence of Gouhou drug won't change too much due to the switch to a different magazine, and loss of momentum. But if it does, I hope it's for the better. Clamp, starting with this, you will redeem yourself if you continue to pick up those you left behind: Clover & X!

This is great news! I thought it was off to a great start, and I was disappointed when it went on hiatus.

But just so you know - Gohou Drug isn't yaoi (which is always explicitly sexual, and typically more about the sex than the romance), and I have doubts as to whether it could really qualify as BL (which has the romantic relationship between two men and the ensuing drama as the focus). It does include elements of it, with the suggestion of a romantic/sexual relationship between two of the supporting characters, but it remains to be seen how the plot and relationship between the main characters will develop.

Well I'm happy they're finally aiming to actually fulfil a promise they made a few years ago... Someday finish the series we have on a hiatus.... I guess Gohou Drug is way easier to develop and finish that the good ol' X or even Clover.... X is really messed up and they really need to use their brains to give it a proper ending....

But this could mean to be a prologue for what's to come! Maybe just right after ending Gohou Drug they maybe continue with X in the same magazine since X suits the feel of the magazine....

By the way.. i understand why people are so excited for just one of the genres.... It does have some BL elements but Gohou Drug has never been a raging obvious hardcore yaoi, imo it has been a really mellow and mysterious drama between two guys... Of course chief has an publicly gay relationship with another guy that's even more mysterious than anyone else, but really we've never seen a sex scene on it to just dub it as yaoi... is more like shounen-ai aka BL.... Oh.... btw for those who didn't know, as far as I know and I'm concerned, CLAMP started as a circle of doujin-kas that wrote lot of yaoi pieces.... so don't be so surprised of all the guy-guy couples that overflow in CLAMP mangas.... Gohou Drug is one, in this deparment of BL, that stand out more than any other manga

CLAMP always gives hint of shounen-ai and shoujo-ai here and there, it's take it or not. Even Cardcaptor Sakura has them, duh. Series with real shounen-ai are Tokyo Babylon and X (since Tokyo Babylon characters are included) only, I think.

Cardcaptor Sakura has Touya and Yukito, which is basically canon. Yukito openly confesses that he is in love with Touya to Sakura. Touya's ex-girlfriend, a priestess, also told Touya that when they met again, they would both be in love with different people. That person for her is Eriol, and it is very clearly implied that that person for Touya is Yukito. Also, their actions and words towards each other suggest an interest beyond friendship, and I believe that it is implied by the end of the series that Touya has accepted and reciprocated Yukito's feelings. They're as canon as Seishirou and Subaru. :)
