If they make Li-Kun the villain I will lose my shit...
Si mi memoria no me falla, esta es mi primera vez leyendo un manga y ha sido una muy grata sorpresa. Me encantó el arte, es muy detallado y me recordó mucho a la serie animada. Y la historia también me está gustando mucho. Digo, no es que sea sea algo super nuevo, es más bien una variación de lo que ya habíamos visto antes pero aún así tiene mucho potencial.
The cards are back again! I was a huge fan of the show as a kid so this was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Cardcaptor Sakura is probably the most unique of the magical girl genre, which makes it a really refreshing read. It reminds me more of Fairy Tail and classic adventure based manga in terms of plot, but still capturing the softer aesthetics of the magical girl genre.
'Cardcaptop Sakura: Clear Card, Vol. 1' by CLAMP is a manga that's a bit out of what I would normally read, but I thought I'd give it a try. It's filled with all the bubbliness of high school kids having really great days.
First off, if you aren't familiar with these characters, you might be a bit lost, like I was. There are brief character bios (and there are a LOT of characters), and also a bit of a synopsis that leads up to this point. Beyond that, you are kind of on your own.
Sakura is a middle school student who sees magical cards, except this time around they are clear. Her friend Syaoran is back from China. Her brother is a brat to her, even though he is in college. Her mother is gone, and her dad seems to have single parenting wired with all his domestic talents. He doesn't seem phazed by his daughter's weird talents and friends.
The art is pretty cute. I liked the story, even though I was lost through most of it. It's not really my thing, but I'm glad I gave it a shot.
I received a review copy of this manga from Kodansha Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.

I...have very mixed feelings about this series getting another sequel (threequel?), because it really felt like it had a perfect ending, with a good amount of closure. Since its end, we've had Tsubasa Chronicles (which had a multiverse of different Syaorans and Sakuras, but the same Clow) and its cousin, XXXholic (RIP (?) Yūko, definitely gone, never forgotten).
All of this is to say that, uh...I hope that this series gets an ending, and that it's...good. This volume was all setup, little plot development. Maybe it's rude to be so harsh on a beloved manga series from the nineteen hundreds, but, I stand by it.

With CLAMP, no matter how light and simple the general tone of the story, the mystery is always stay as mystery. This sequel of Cardcaptor Sakura also the same. The story and main antagonist is pretty much showed early on, but even until now no one can guess what the heck is happening. lol.
