I was familiar with Cardcaptor Sakura because it has a TV adaptation that was released in the 90's. I used to watch the said anime when I was a kid but I wasn't able to watch the whole series. This new season in the famous Japanese manga is a treat for fans of the said manga and anime. Although the story and the characters could be a bit childish, it is just some of the reasons why there are a lot of people who like it.

I'm mad at CLAMP. There are around 4-5 of their stories that have been hanging over a cliff for years (decades) or are actually in needs of a continuation and they decide to take one of their complete stories, with a very nice, round ending and make a sequel that they'll probably abandon as soon as something sparkly catches there eye.

And yet here I am.

Cause this is still CLAMP and I love them and Card Captor Sakura is one of my favorites.

As a girl born in the 90s, Cardcaptor Sakura (in Greek translated as 'The Adventures of Niki' for some weird reason) was one of my favourite TV shows, long before my fascination with Japanese culture seriously began. I would eagerly wake up at 8 every weekend morning to catch the show on TV and I was more than excited when I discovered there was a manga version I could read to my heart's content.

More Cardcaptor Sakura! Saw the anime previous to this, but it's still good. Got to love the beautiful art from Clamp. I want to try out the cheesecake recipe.

The one thing is I'm not usually a fan of the Kodansha in-house translations. It's all fine, but it kind of feels like this could have used just a little more editing just to smooth out the phrasing a little bit.

If you know me a little you will know that when it comes to manga CLAMP has written my favorites. While I have a high preference for Tsubasa and XXX Holic, I have always found Cardcaptor Sakura to be such a cute read. So when I saw this on Netgalley I had to go for it.

If you are unfamilar with Cardcaptor Sakura, in it Sakura is selected to become the cardcaptor after she found a book in her dad’s study. The person that has to catch the magical glow cards. They have powers and without Sakura they would run amok through her town. This is obviously a very short version as the original manga has 12 volumes, divided into two arcs. I would not suggest starting this new series before having read the other two as you do need to know very well who and what role they play before heading into this one.

This new story starts a bit after the ending of the twelfth volume where Sakura starts middle school. All seems to be going well for her when her crush Syoaran returns from Hong Kong to stay in her town for good and she is able to be around all her friends. Even having phone calls with those in England. But then she starts to have dreams and her glow cards turn out clear.

As soon as I started this story I was giddy. The art is solid and cute as the original story. It gave me the same feeling as the original story did and yet we can see that the characters are slowly growing up a bit. I mean Eriol did imply some things with that phone call, haha. Or maybe that is my dirty mind? Almost all of the familiar characters make an appearance without it feeling too crowded. I was laughing from page one. Sakura and her brother still banter happily away. Kero is still funny and always hungry. Tomoyo is still obsessed with cute Sakura. But they are so much more comfortable around each other. You can see their friendship. Their bonds shining through. I think that is what I always loved best about this series.

I am incredibly curious to see how this new plot will go. My biggest worry is that it is going to rehash some things from the earlier two arcs with these clear cards and the new key. But for now it is off to a good start as it makes me very curious.

I think my biggest and only complaint about this volume is that we just do not get enough Sakura and Syaoran alone time. I need more alone time between these two. There needs to some serious developing of their relationship in this story. Fingers crossed this is all still coming.

I am a huge fan of anything Clamp puts out. I remember watching the original Cardcaptors series when it was on t.v., though admittedly the dub was a bit comical. *lol* Suffice it to say, when I saw that there would be a new anime (already watching it on Crunchyroll!) and then that this volume was available on NetGalley, I leaped at the chance to review it.

Since it's been awhile since I've read the earlier books in the series, I was glad there was a recap of characters for the Clow Card arc and the Sakura Card arc. Visually I could identify them, but names and bios were a big help. This definitely isn't a book you're going to be able to get into unless you've read the previous arcs, even with this catch-up portion. The funniest part of the intro is that Cerberus is "narrating" and making sure you know what's up! If you know anything about this little guy, you'll be able to picture the scene more accurately and laugh your head off.

The personalities of the main characters are all back and very similar to their past selves, but you can see how they've evolved a bit. They're still children, after all, so I don't expect to see them all grown up. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaron are entering their first year of middle school, which makes them around twelve years old. Clamp's art style, their subtle shifts of mood and more, enable the reader to see different emotions and really feel them: Sakura's joy, Syaron's concern, and Tomoyo's unbridled enjoyment of life and her best friend.

The plot starts out very similar to the previous arcs, in that the cards have something happen to them (they appear, Sakura needs to change them from Clow to Sakura cards, etc.), so I knew a bit about where things would go. However, this arc seems like it might be a bit more emotional veering toward dark. By the end of volume one it's clear that this enemy is more dangerous than before and now Sakura doesn't even have her cards to back her up.

There's also secret keeping going on from two of Sakura's allies and that felt like a foreboding moment, when we realize that something is going on behind the scenes and that it will definitely impact Sakura more directly before long.

There's such a cliffhanger at the end that I really wish, at times like this, that I could read the original language so I could pick up the currently published Japanese editions!

When you're a character in a CLAMP story, your life can't stay normal for too long! Sakura learns that her magical cards aren't finished yet as they reset themselves after a nightmare. Now she's back in the capturing game in this first volume of a new series.

When Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card was announced, I think I screamed. I never expected more Cardcaptor Sakura, even though the dub was formative in a million ways. And now, in Clear Card, we get to go back and see what Sakura's doing now that she's saved the world, made her power her own, become a teenager and started high school!

Protip: everything is going to go horribly wrong, and there is going to be a lot of trouble with additional magical cards, because that's how this series works.

I don’t have many « nostalgia » feelings with Card Captor Sakura that would affect my reading much.
I remember watching it, and a few years ago I had started reading the original manga but never finished it.
But I have enough understanding to enjoy this new series.
I don’t read many mangas and always enjoy the cute fluffy ones (and the Magical Girls even more) so there is no reason for me not to enjoy that one ;)
