CLANNAD Kickstarter Update: 10th Anniversary Artbook Release

Key News Blog Discussion
#1

We have some exciting news from the latest CLANNAD Kickstarter update! The 10th anniversary artbook has finally been translated into English and has been digitally distributed to those who backed the physical edition of the game. The artbook was first released in Japan in 2013, and features guest illustrations from artists such as Rei Idumi (.hack//Legend of the Twilight, Hibiki’s Magic), Fumio (Tomoyo After, Grisaia) and GotoP (CLANNAD Side Stories), as well as official material from the original game, TV series and movie. Last but not least, there are also short stories and comics so you can enjoy more of the CLANNAD universe.

We gave this away as a prize back in the CLANNAD Bookclub, but now everyone who backed the Kickstarter will have their own digital copy to browse through, and most importantly, in English for the very first time! Sekai Project has no plans to publish a physical copy of the book, so this may be the only English translation we ever receive of this artbook. Major props to Sekai Project for getting this published. For all intents and purposes, the CLANNAD Kickstarter is finally concluded.

I didn’t even know this was a thing, let alone a complete translation of the book! What an awesome little gift!

I had though the CLANNAD kickstarter was finished like a year ago, so it was a nice surprise when I got an email telling me I’d be getting a physical copy.

I missed out on the Kickstarter, but a friend of mine let me take a look at his copy. :ahaha:
Really impressed with the variety of artistic styles presented in the art section.
There’s plenty of Fuko art which is a plus in my book, my favorite is the piece by Natsuki Tanihara.

I had thought Sekai said in an email they sent out the other day that they are not planning on releasing a physical edition of this book at this time?

So it seems you’re right. In their email they said it was given to everyone who got a physical copy of the game, so I misunderstood.

Pretty ironic that they’re giving this digital copy only to people who backed the physical version… but hey, I can’t complain :umu: (because I backed the physical version)
