Reason: All of these manga series were created by the group Clamp, which frequently does crossovers between their series, so I think it makes sense to group them under an umbrella tag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamp_(manga_artists)

Various series by the group cross-reference each other, and characters reappear in multiple works by the group, with Tsubasa, a series set across multiple dimensions, featuring multiple alternative versions of characters from past works.

There's already one_(manga), so it's not unprecedented. I'm not really a fan of *_(manga) in this case, though, so if anyone has any other suggestions...

Updated

I'm not a fan of the one_(manga) tag either, we don't usually create implications for individual creators.

Privileged

I think I'd prefer the _(artist_group) suffix instead of _(manga). The latter makes it feel like an actual manga/comic, rather than an artist group or collective (who presumably don't have to only create manga).

Artist group works too, I don't like (manga) at the end either. I'll change it to that, unless anyone has any other suggestions.

We have quite a few of these actually, the aforementioned ones, stephen_king_(copyright), osamu_tezuka, etc.

CLAMP I think is more warranted because it's a group of creators and the works actually overlap.
