A compilation of Crossovers in mangakas CLAMP's universe.
(I won't count any Wonderland and the kinds. Also, many doujinshis and original works are impossible to find and therefore will be left outside as well.)

Warning: MANY SPOILERS!!!


1987 Shining Star

A One-shot and Clamp's first original work. The setting is "Clamp School", which appears at a few of their older mangas and is a central piece of Clamp's universe.

Taichiro Imonoyama-sensei is the main character, a man who falls for another man, Shura-sensei.

Taichiro is Nokoru Imonoyama's uncle, who appears with his co-stars of his own manga Clamp Gakuen Tanteidan, 1992, which also sets at Clamp School. This school was actually built by Imonoyama's family, surely the richest family in Clamp's universe.

And Shura-sensei may not have the exact same name but he looks exactly like Ashura-ou from 1989 RG Veda. They also share the same son.. or daughter, Ashura.

Shura and Ashura mention that they came from India and Rg-Veda manga has a Vedic mythology style.. Hinduism... India.




1990 20 mensho ni onegai

It can be seen as a sub-plot of 1992's Clamp Gakuen Tanteidan, since it tells the love story of Akira Ijuin, Nokoru Imonoyama's friend and employee, who in this story is actually a famous unidentified thief. Here, new characters appear and some things are revealed about Akira's family.
Clamp School and Nokuru's team make a small appearance here.

20 Mensho gets barely mentioned in Clamp Tentai's manga (lets keep in mind that it is sadly incomplete) but he has a full chapter in the Anime.




1992 Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders

Another sub-plot for 1992 Clamp Gakuen Tanteidan but even funnier since it's a parody about a group of students superheroes that protect Clamp School, led by a mysterious man... is Nokoru, come on!
Yet, in the manga of Clamp Tanteidan they are merely "mentioned" but they do have proper appearances in the Anime.





1992 X 1999

Although the main story is about Kamui and the end of the world coming with the new millennium, we also get a glimpse of a continuation of Tokyo Babylon 1990, we get to see an older Subaru still chasing after Seishiro and both of them taking part in the plot of this manga.

Matured Nokoru and his two loyal subordinates, from 1992 Clamp School Detectives, again along with the Clamp Campus itself, also take an important part in the plot of the manga but are terrebly replace by an old guy with mustach in the animated version





1993 Magic Knight Rayearth

Another work that shows Clamp's love for Tokyo Tower and girls' power.
There is only one Crossover here but if you only watched TRC and Xxxholic, 2003, then you may want to read this manga because here it's the actual origin of the lovely Mokona....in a sense. Don't worry, Yuko explains it.





1995 Fushigi no kuni no Miyuki-chan

Clamp love challenge and proving they can do anything, so here they presented their first Ecchi manga, with plenty of sexiness and yuri. It's short and aims for funny and, though i don't think this counts as a crossover at all, i add it just in case any fan cares. 1992 X 1999.




1999 Angelic Layer

Very cool and futuristic dolls rule the toys industry, a theme we can relate to Chobits, 2000, in this later one we'll actually find a clearly stated connection, meanwhile, in Angelic, we onky find the original universe of the brand Puffle Princess that appeared in 1992's X/1999 and will appear later in 2005 Kobato and many more (so try playing Waldo with this one).


We also have a mini-crossover of another seemingly famous brand, belonging to another universe of Clamp, 1992 Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders.





2000 Lawful Drug

More yao-ish but just the same to the later XxxHolic 2003, that actually makes an appearance here, so if you like supernatural mistery, this work is a must read.

A character very loved but not much used by Clamp, Hinata from 1999 Suki Dakara Suki, makes a cute appearence too, along with 1993 Angelic Layer's popular brand.


And a very, very fundamental collaboration with Wish 1996.


2000 Chobits


Futuristic computers, that do not have a brand but yet they and this story do have a clear connection with Angelic Layer, 1999. We can fairly assume this story is placed some time ahead in the future of the older one because of the mention of some of its characters. The first clue it's a bit vague, we see Kaede and the back of Misaki and Sai.


But, in the end, Clamp give us a clear explanation.


Again, folks, play Find Waldo with this brand, 1992 Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders.




2003 Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles

Just Clamp's biggest mess of universes; now, to FULLY understand XxxHolic 2003, you MUST read this one since here you'll find all the explanations, the whole existence of Xxxholic is only because of Tsubasa... So, yeah, struggle and read them at the same time. ALSO, we get a bit about 1996 Cardcaptor Sakura Clow's dead, and you can challenge yourself to see how many Crossovers you recognize. Here some, though there are many more, including objects and symbols.
From Cardcaptor Sakura 1996, we borrow the looks of Tomoyo, Touya Yukito, Fujitaka, Nadeshiko, Yamazaki and the original existence of Clow, Sakura and Shaoran.


Again, sadly 2003 Xxxholic was created solemnly to 'explain' TRC, so we'll see a lot of Yuko and Watanuki. Other very important but "fake" appearances are Shura-o (RG-Veda 1989), Chii (Chobits 2000), Subaru (Tokyo Babylon 1990) and Kamui (X/1999, 1992).


A very interesting crossover is the one in the world called Tokyo, we have here 2 rival groups in a post apocalyptic world... If it wasn't for the change of important characters, I would think This was a continuation of 1992's X/1999. Is it only me?


Play "Find Miyuki-chan" (Fushigi no kuni no Miyuki-chan, 1995) because she's undoubtedly in every single world! We can also see the cute cats from Kakyo No Chikyu Seifuku Nikki, 2002, Hikaru, Fuu and Umi, Caldina, Emeraude and Primera (Magic knight rayearth, 1993) and Hikaru, Kaedo and Sai (Angelic layer, 1999)


Gods and Sanyun (Magic knight rayearth, 1993) with Masayoshi (Clamp School Detectives, 1992), Nekoi, Kusanagi, Sorata and Arashi(X/1999, 1992),Oruha (Clover, 1997), Soma, Ryu o and Ashura (Rg veda, 1989), all "false/other existences" appearances.




2003 XxxHolic

Since its existence is merely to make 2003 Tsubasa possible, it's nothing weird that they came out at the same time and that if you read this one alone, you won't understand anything of its second half.
Again, the main crossover is with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and, with a mischievous explanation, Magic Knight Rayearth's Mokona (1993).


We also have many other crossovers, some important some not so much. Clamp's novel Yumegari, 1996, and also 2000 Chobits's ears and its famous Atashi book:


Elements from Cardcaptor Sakura, 1996, which explanation is in Tsubasa, Lawful Drug,2000, and the famous brand from Duklyon: Clamp School Defenders, 1992:


___________________________________
Apart from "re-using" characters, and elements like wings, eggs and penguins, Clamp also re-use family compositions, like many sisters for one brother (like for Syaoran and, in the not so well known manga, Derayd), twins like Maru and Moro and the lesss memorable Souhu and Hien (X/1999), or the lack of one or both parents, romance between same-sex people, no-gender people, etc. It's in part their essence, what makes any of their works memorable and recognizable, and also their very intention to leave some meaningful messages while breaking some standars.
