How To Participate:

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

For the Vol 4 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 4 (softcover or digital)

  • the refurbished edition (RE) ofカードキャプターさくら Vol 4 (hardcover or digital)

  • the anniversary editions (AE) of カードキャプターさくら Vol 3 (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.

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.

*Note: I haven’t had time to fill the vocab sheets, but you’re welcome to add vocab if you’re interested in doing so!

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!

Well, I can’t say I’m pleased we’re getting yet another student teacher relationship… but I guess at least this one is a student teacher?? No that’s not really better is it. Anyway, the touya flashback was cute, he’s really in the dumps. Curious to see how Sakura and co find their way out of the maze!

I had such a hard time with this week’s reading. Whenever we get a chapter with extended Touya dialogue, I can really feel I am a beginner reader :anxious_face_with_sweat: Will probably have to revisit the whole flashback section to make sure I understand the important plot points!

月峰神社 getting the furigana ここ on RE page 23 is interesting! I guess it makes sense with how much other furigana is in this series. It’s a good way to give the readers context that wasn’t said aloud.

I wonder if Kaho is clairvoyant? There’s clearly something up with her.
