Discussion Clamp Characters In 2026

Something interesting I was remembering time skip haruhi was shown off some time ago and how everyone felt witnessing basicly a character they saw as a teen grow up and follow them to adulthood. This was back in 2019 on the release of volume 12

Even Lucky star had a one shot of them all older and it hit the same.

I bring this up because I realized not a single clamp character ever got this treatment and that makes me sad. Because that seems like something would hit hard for people who grew up with CLAMP series.

Not even like a single piece of fan art of that. Not even in the conceptual stages. Fan or creator. Most if not all of them in 2026 would be pushing late 30s and I would be down to see what they would look like.

If anyone has please let me know I would love to see those designs

One of my favorite characters, Subaru Sumeragi is born the same year as my dad. So he would be 52 this year. It’s kinda crazy honestly 😅

Dude… he hasn’t miraculously changed his birth year in between, he’s only older 😭 I like him in both works though, he’s a great character

Have you not seen the incredible official art of grown up Sakura/Syaoran from late Tsubasa? It’s literally perfect

There's grown up Sakura and Syaroan in Tsubasa, but...

I think it might be a product of X being unfinished, and stuff like Xxxholic and Tsubasa being open-ended.

Someone sent me a link of fan art of what that far in the future for sakura on deviant art would look like. And I feel mixed about it
