The September issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine is announcing next Wednesday that the creator quartet CLAMP will start a new manga series of Legal Drug (Gōhō Drug) in the December issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine on November 4. The new series will once again feature the main lead characters Kazahaya Kudō and Rikuō Himura.

CLAMP published three volumes from 2001 to 2003 before putting the manga on hiatus in Japan. Tokyopop published the three manga volumes in North America between 2004 and 2005.

Is this really happening?
I've been waiting for years! As I'm sure many people have...
Legal Drug is the only CLAMP manga I can honestly say that I enjoyed.

I'm so pumped! I adore this series. From the news bit it sounds there is going to be a whole news series with the same characters, instead of a continuation of the original story. I guess it makes sense since Young Ace is a shounen mag (the original series ran in a couple of shoujo magazines).

November 4th can't come soon enough. I really hope there is a group out there who will be releasing this series. Best CLAMP news I've heard in...years.

In that case, the original series isn't 'on hiatus' but 'discontinued' right? Big changes will have to be made to the series owing to its transfer to a seinen magazine -- cutting out all the BL subtext and possibly replacing most of the supporting cast with females. I mean, the shop owner and his guy!? That would never fly in a seinen! laugh

Hopefully this shift won't ruin the story none Cross-gender demographic changes are...weird, to say the least. And it's bound to cause imbalances with the original personalities of the characters as well as the overall mood of the story. Probably the only manga I've seen which was switched from a female-oriented manga to a male-oriented one without any harm done (but that's probably 'cause the shounen publication it was transferred to was GFantasy) is Yumekui Kenbun.
