How To Participate:
There are three editions of Cardcaptor Sakura, all of which can be used for this book club.
For the Vol 2 reading, you will need one of the following:
-
the original edition (OG) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 2 (softcover or digital)
-
the refurbished edition (RE) ofカードキャプターさくら Vol 2 (hardcover or digital)
-
the anniversary editions (AE) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 1 and Vol 2 (hardcover)
Differences Between Editions
Card Captor Sakura has three editions: the original edition (OG), the refurbishment edition (RE), and the anniversary edition (AE).
-
The paperpack 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.
The current week is shown in bold.

Vocabulary:
The vocab sheet lists three sets of page numbers: OG (original edition), RE (refurbishment edition) and AE (anniversary edition). When adding page numbers, please use printed page numbers for consistency, even if you are using a digital edition.
Also see: Manga Kotoba.
Note: On occasion there have been differences in dialogue between the editions. If the vocab sheet contains words that you can’t find in your manga, please check if it’s for a different edition than yours!
Discussion Guidelines
Spoiler Courtesy
Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent ネタバレ. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.
-
Any potential spoilers, predictions and conjecture for the current week’s reading should be covered with a spoiler tag.
-
Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).
-
Any spoilers from Card Captor Sakura, whether from later in the book, future books, or Clear Card, should be hidden by spoiler tags and labelled as coming from later sections. This includes trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested.
Instructions for Spoiler Tags
Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labelled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).
Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:
Example
This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.
The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.
