Famed doujin circle turned professional mangaka group CLAMP recently turned their art skills toward Nico, uploading a PV of an existing Hatsune Miku song, Mugen no Yami (Infinite Darkness).
The art consists of only still images, but still makes for a excellent viewing as CLAMP’s version of Vocaloid princess Miku is striking.
In the improbable case a refresher on CLAMP’s past works is needed, some of their better known credits include the (human) character designs for Code Geass, creating countless manga titles such as xxxHolic, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles, Chobits, and of course Card Captor Sakura, amongst many others.
As always, comments can be turned off on Nico by pressing the comments (the speech bubble) icon.

The official CLAMP website contains this entry that was posted Monday by the 4-woman group regarding the video.
It is rather long, but essentially, the mangaka were all recent iniates to Nico Nico Douga, became entranced with watching video after video and developed a liking towards MADs using the various Vocaloids.
After some worrying about trademark rights about putting a Vocaloid PV on Nico (an overly prudent worry, akin to getting permission to inhale the air at a public park), they selected Mugen no Yami, a song uploaded to Nico back in May.
They seem to be quite thrilled about the new experience, and express gratitude to all viewers, commentors and people who have favorited the video.
Fan delight will likely be tempered with foreboding, lest they fall prey to the same affliction which has struck down Berserk mangaka Kentaro Miura…

:|
and like usual, it suckz
CLAMP made Miku more beautiful~ <3 <3 <3
The best of two worlds my favorite manga xxx holic and my favorite diva singer...
the first pic looks the best in my opinion
did i just see the words "sankaku complex" scroll during the video?
lol ur right
Are the full-sized drawings available somewhere ?
;__;
Afraid not.
CLAMP's going down the Shirow Miwa route...
2:35 looks like Himawari lol!
True!!!
While I do like some of there work, I like the pics, but it doesn't really look like Miku.
Although very well, made of course, do not want.
I like my standard miku best.
love CLAMP, baby love CLAMP. love CLAMP, baby love CLAMP!
Clamp is deep insight.
Clap r wimmins? They ar nice guyz
CLAMP are awesome. Also insane, but that's part of their charm.
Clamp+Miku=WIN!!!
Miku really wants her own anime...
Oh hey, it's whosits from Technic Beat in the last pic! But nobody else played any of the Technictix series, so I'll shut up.
i like it thatnks clamp
oh boy... wonder if they will also get afflicted by the Nico madness like Kentaro Miura?
Someone can poke a eye out with those chins.
I haven't ventured into ClAMP ever since I was disappointed with Tsubasa.
...God out of all the people to draw the beloved Miku Miku, NOT CLAMP!
why couldnt Bones, Makoto Shnkai, or Madhouse animate her!!
Because they're character designers, not animation studios.
Those very studios you mention will just bring in CLAMP to make the anime designs.
Sucks to be you.
Sorry to disappoint but Makoto Shinkai isn't an animation studio...

Has Kentaro drew any Miku art? Or is he limited to only drawing Idolmaster characters? (Where are they located by the way)
inb4 CLAMP stops drawing manga because they're too busy browsing Nico Nico Douga.
Is that their latest excuse for X?
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Well, shit. Anyone know how long X/1999 has been on hiatus? I lost count after the first couple of years. And...why is it on hiatus again? Was it the censorship part, the CLAMP not knowing how to end it part, or both?
Anyways, I'm not really into Miku. She's cute and all, but I prefer Luka. So, I guess I'm kind of happy that CLAMP didn't raep MY pink-haired goddess instead. Plus, I don't like this song. The only non-pop song I like from Miku is probably Koi wa Sensou (which is EPIC, I guess, but Luka's are still better).
And YEAH, Luka is MINE, BITCHES.
Don't like Clamp's style.
But I welcome them to the Nico World. We need more people on the Nico Train. Long as we work together, our personal preferences are irrelevant.
now tsubasa chronicles and xxxholic will never end *sigh*
The first image of this article looks like Lelouch with "pigtails" next to his head. Clamp art sure is awesome.
I Like!
VERY well done, well expressed, and very artistic...
This is a ~ "WIN" ~ on oh so many levels!
This really makes me wish I could watch the Nico vids...

CLAMP style miku...really not bad
the last pic is fantastic
Nice to see that unique clamp touch to it...
+1 as well.
Yes, CLAMP has such a cool, stylistic way of making character designs. There's such a tiny amount of originality in the sea of that video sharing site... It's good to see some now and then (Thanks, CLAMP.)!
+1
Clamp = Gods of Anime & Manga ^_^
goddess actually
nay gan, CLAMP is still the Queen....
nay gan, CLAMP is still the Queen....
next, i would like Meltdown or any fast-beat Vocaloid PV to be drawn by OH! Great.
well it is better than tsubasa dropped it after the faggotry of vol 2...then i heard that it had tweest upon tweest that made it looked more gay
Can't believe anyone would say that after the mess that was Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles. It was basically the CLAMP version of Gundam Seed Destiny.
well to reply to Kagekyuubi, this seems better than tsubasa reservoir.
lol
Oh come on, Kagekyuubi! As Cubanoman & Gil said (& i've made a damn typo ^^; LOL), CLAMP is GODDESSES of Queens!! XD
Well this made my day.
clamp still rocks
