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 edition (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.
| Week | Date | Chapter | Pages (RE) | Page Count (no inter-chapter art) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | May 10 | 15 pt 1 | 6-26 | 21 |
| 2 | May 17 | 15 pt 2 | 27-50 | 21 |
| 3 | May 24 | 16 pt 1 | 51-73 | 23 |
| 4 | May 31 | 16 pt 2 | 74-95 | 22 |
| 5 | Jun 7 | 17 pt 1 | 96-122 | 24 |
| 6 | Jun 14 | 17 pt 2 | 123-144 | 19 |
| 7 | Jun 21 | 18 pt 1 | 145-164 | 20 |
| 8 | Jun 28 | 18 pt 2 | 165-189 | 24 |
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’ll only be putting in some more difficult vocabulary sporadically, but you’re welcome to add your own translations 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!
