Long-awaited and highly anticipated by fans around the world! Yuzuru Hanyu and CLAMP's dream collaboration picture book "GIFT" will be released on September 1, 2023!

Yuzuru Hanyu, who has been attracting attention for his successful Tokyo Dome performance "GIFT" and further success, and CLAMP, a creative writing group active worldwide, have decided to collaborate on a picture book "GIFT" to be released by Kodansha this fall.

The dream collaboration began with a request from Mr. Hanyu to CLAMP to draw a picture book. Both artists respect each other as artists who are active on the world stage. Hanyu's own writings, which tell the story of his life, reveal a new talent that is different from that of skating. CLAMP illustrated the text to create a picture book.

The story "GIFT" will take on a new form as a picture book following the performance, a special present from Yuzuru Hanyu and CLAMP to their fans around the world, the picture book "GIFT.

This miraculous collaboration has already been eagerly awaited and anticipated by fans around the world, and the release of a translated version for overseas audiences is being considered in the future.

The two companies will continue to expand their activities in the future.
