![]() ![]() However we only get a tantalising glimpse of the person who is going to become very important in her life – and her rival in capturing the Clow Cards – on the last page of this volume.Ĭardcaptor Sakura was one of the first magical girl series to make an impression in the West (albeit, for many of us, in a horribly mangled US version of the TV anime). ![]() We meet Sakura’s BFF Tomoya (who insists on recording all Sakura’s exploits on video and soon begins to create special outfits for her to wear on camera), Toya, Sakura’s annoying (in her eyes) big brother who is seven years her senior, and gentle-natured Yuki, his best friend, whom Sakura has a crush on. But now that the Clow Cards – created by Clow Reed, a powerful sorcerer – have been set free, she’ll have to become a Cardcaptor and capture them all or the spirits of the cards will wreak havoc on her home town. Opening the book releases magical spirits and the guardian beast on the cover: Kero – or Cerberus – a winged lion who (in chibi form). One day, Sakura Kinomoto, a cheerful fourth-grader (ten years old) who loves to roller-skate to school, discovers a mysterious old book in her archaeologist father’s library. If their seal is broken, disaster will befall.’ ![]()
