Is there any other manga artist/s (famous or not-so-famous) who caters anime
or manga like CLAMP's style?

I'm talking about the _cross-over style_ or the re-using of anime characters
from one of their manga creations to another and the diverging of their
stories. CLAMP is known for that style and it was loosely defined as the
"Clamp Universe" or "Clamp Multiverse".

If there is, then who is that manga artist/s and what are those anime/manga
that manga artist/s created, and if possible, a preview of the anime's/manga's
plot?

Is there any other manga artist/s whose style is like CLAMP's?


Osamu Tezuka, perhaps ?

In his mangas, the same characters would appear in different roles. Given the
ammount of work he produce, it's not a big surprise he could do that. Don't
think it was intensive like CLAMP, but was well used, in specific situations.

Tezuka had his [Star
System](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Tezuka%27s_Star_System), and his
characters would appear in many stories, sometimes without a formal reference
(not being identified as such).

Examples:

Black Jack made some apparitions in Astro Boy... Astro Boy made many
apparitions in Black Jack and in other mangas.

Since the title mentioned "manga" but your description said "anime or manga",
I'll just put it here. I'm conflicted because this one across many medias
(Light Novel, Anime, Manga, Visual Novel).

**[Type-Moon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type-Moon)** (Fate series, Kara no
Kyoukai, Tsukihime, etc) has its famous
**[Nasuverse](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Nasuverse)**.

> The universe of the writings of TYPE-MOON's scenario director, [Kinoko

There's also this image of [Nasuverse Character
Chart](http://images34.fotosik.pl/64/031a310f6bfa47cd.jpg).

The difference with CLAMP is, while CLAMP likes to make the character clearly
has an appearance in other series, Nasuverse isn't like that, and that's why,
above, it's described as

> ...take place in the same world with the same rules, but interestingly
> enough, **seldom obviously** cross over. ~tvtropes

So don't expect to see something so obvious like when Syaoran and Sakura of
TRC appear in XXXHolic (that even turns out their plot is related). From what
I understand, Nasuverse heavily put its chain between series around its
concept of magic, mage, and supernatural being. There's some character
related, but still it's not like they appear like, how Sumeragi Clan of Tokyo
Babylon involved heavily in X. As far as I know, their character relation is
'implied', like, X from Y series is teacher in School Q, and 'coincidentally',
in B series, A is student in School Q.

For all the preview of anime and manga, you can see it in the tvtropes link I
gave above. Almost all of them has magic as one of the story element, which
also poses as one of its universe's chain. For deeper explanation of the
universe, you can see its [analysis page, still in the same
site.](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Analysis/Nasuverse)
