CLAMP Deals With Stalking Date: 8/7/2006 |
| On June 1st, 2003 the all female Osaka-based manga circle CLAMP updated CLAMP-NET's information section with news that they had been receiveing frequent letters from an unknown man proclaiming the following: "I was a CLAMP member's classmate. And, it is understood that I am the model for the hero in the manga you are drawing now." CLAMP is of course from the Kansai region of Japan and have not left the area of their birth even in their high school years. Nor had any member experienced a school transfer. They maintain never having attended the school mentioned in the letters (the school's name is withheld). Such letters arrived under various names and were apparently hand delivered to their apartments and office without postmark or stamp. Their office address (now and in the past) has never been open to the public. Only their editorial department knew the office address and few answers were forthcoming upon confronting them with the issue. CLAMP admits the entire ordeal was a scary experience which has had them perplexed and has made their family worry very much. After consulting a lawyer about this matter, the group learned the various legal procedures measures available to them. They then posted their appeal (linked above) for the person to cease a desist the communication. No further official update has been made regarding the matter since then. |
