How To Participate:

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

For the Vol 11 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 11 (softcover, hardcover or digital)

  • the anniversary edition (AE) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 8 AND 9 (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.

Finally sat down to open up this volume and ended up just reading through the whole thing - this was definitely the best volume yet in my opinion!! I’ll hold off on my full thoughts until the end, but I love the suspense building in the early chapters. You can really feel things coming to a head!!

Yes, agreed! It’s nice to see things building so nicely towards the ending, it makes me excited for the last volume!

Week 5: Chap 45
あ!!

It’s the last chapter of the volume!! What’s so surprising, Sakura…??

It’s bittersweet to be setting up the last volume of this book club. I’ve been doing this for almost a year and half now! Of course, there will be lots more Japanese reading in my future, thanks in no small part to all of you motivating me to keep going. Come vote when you have a chance – though of course, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on vol 11’s last chapter in this thread, too!

The Vol 12 Book Club Thread Is Here!

Folks, we’ve made it! The very last volume, at a rate of one week per chapter! Come over and join us when you’re done with the current volume! (Of course, you’re also welcome to share any additional thoughts about the current volume here!)
