How To Participate:

There are three editions of Cardcaptor Sakura, all of which can be used for this book club.

For the Vol 10 reading, you will need one of the following:

  • the original edition (OG) or refurbished edition (RE) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 10 (softcover, hardcover or digital)

  • the anniversary edition (AE) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 8 (hardcover)

Differences Between Editions

Card Captor Sakura has three editions: the original edition (OG), the refurbishment edition (RE), and the anniversary edition (AE).

  • The paperback copy is OG, the original hardcover version is RE.

  • Digital versions are mostly RE, but some are OG.

  • To distinguish between OG and RE books, look between chapters. If there’s a picture of Kero-chan and the words “refurbishment edition,” you have an RE book.

  • The AE is a newer hardback edition. It has more chapters than either OG or RE books. For example, vol 1 of AE contains chapters 6 and 7, which are part of vol 2 for the OG and RE.

  • To check if your hardcover book is AE, simply look at the cover. It’ll say なかよし60周年記念版 on it near the bottom!

This reading is for カードキャプターさくら (Cardcaptor Sakura), NOT カードキャプターさくら クリアカード編 (Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card). Buy carefully!

Schedule:

Note: all page numbers are based on the print version of the refurbishment edition (RE).

If you are reading the digital edition of the RE, the digital page count will be a few pages ahead of the print. Please check how many pages off your copy is before using the page numbers below.

If you aren’t reading the refurbishment edition, the page numbers will be completely different than those listed below. Please pay special attention to the chapter number and the last panel for every week, which should be the same between editions.

Vocabulary:

The vocabulary list hasn’t been in use for the last few volumes, but you’re welcome to contribute if you’re interested in doing so!

If you do, please add vocabulary using printed page numbers for consistency, even if you are using a digital edition.

Otherwise, consider using Manga Kotoba for your vocabulary needs!

Week 1: Chap 39 Pt 2

It’s good to see Sakura smiling again! Will we be ending the chapter on a bit of a lighter note?

Really good relationship insights in this chapter :eyes:

Yukito And Sakura

We finally get Yukito’s feelings towards Sakura! He’s very responsible and handled the situation beautifully, didn’t he? (I gotta say though, I feel like most kids with a crush on an older guy might not respond as well as Sakura did to the knowledge said older guy likes her brother instead, lol.) It’s nice to finally see a resolution here. It’s been ten volumes!!!

It’ll be interesting to see if Sakura’s romantic feelings turn elsewhere now that she isn’t thinking as much about Yukito :eyes:

Week 3: Chap 40 Pt 1

Back to the action! With the third last volume, the pace of the story has been really picking up, eh? Just what could we be building towards…?

Although we haven’t been doing vocabulary lists for quite a while now, I just wanted to point out two words this week, as they’re valuable to know for an important story point this week:

Page 67 Vocab

逝く: to pass away
寿命: lifespan

A soft and emotional end to the chapter! Let’s hear what everyone has on their hearts…
