Capturing Cards was only the beginning...

Once upon a magic night, an English sorcerer mixed Western wizardry with Eastern enchantments to create a magical deck of cards called the Clow Cards. These cards were hidden inside a dusty old book for decades, their powers virtually wasted. Then one fateful day, a young girl named Sakura Kinomoto discovered the book in her father's library. When she opened it, however, the Clow Cards were gone—and so was life as she knew it. The book's magical guardian, a diminutive winged lion, named Sakura the Cardcaptor, and after many exciting adventures, she finally retrieved all of the cards. Now Sakura has earned the title Master of the Clow.

An ominous force is brewing in Tomoeda. New enchantments are popping up all over the city, and Sakura's Clow Cards seem completely unable to stop them. But when Sakura taps into her inner power to fuel the Clow Cards, she unlocks a new magic of her own creation. Thus begins this 10-year-old's quest to become the greatest magician in the world!


Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow, Vol. 1 (Cardcaptor Sakura, #7) Reviews

    I love Cardcaptor Sakura, which is why I want to be honest about my opinion that this volume is lacking. It spends almost the entire time setting up the premise for certain events and not nearly enough time with the events itself. What saves it from a two star rating is the fact that no matter how dismal a scene is, the characters are brilliantly written and their complex relationships are endearing. I hope I find the next volume to be more of a classic fun Cardcaptor story.

  • Dyah

    Another new and mysterious character appears. His name is Eriol.
    And I don't like him.

  • Angelika

    ale przyspieszenie akcji 👀 jak zwykle super się czytało

  • nara ☾⋆⁺₊⋆

    It is getting very interesting since new characters are starting to appear (I already knew them from the anime adaptation, though). Still nice to see them again.

    PD: Please could Tomoyo be more adorable? I love her.

  • Robin

    When asked what my favorite manga-ka is, I'd have to say CLAMP without a moment's hesitation. When asked what my favorite manga by CLAMP is, though, I hesitate. It's so hard to narrow it down.

    Ultimately, though, CCS is definitely in my top five. This manga is so damn charming. The main character is wonderful, delightful, and so strong, her supporting cast is memorable and beautiful. The manga covers many themes and motifs, but the one that's most compelling to me is the concept that love comes in all forms and is the greatest strength. And this manga does present lots of different types of love - whether it be between a girl and a boy, two boys, two girls, unrequited, May/December, Human/Supernatural, or eternal... This manga presents it all sweetly and perfectly.

    It's so wonderful to watch Sakura grow into the heroine she is, to watch all those around her grow and change as well. The manga is intensely satisfying, wonderfully sweet, and one I never get tired of rereading.

    When I was younger I watch the anime for this manga and I adored it.
    Now after reading it I can't help but love it more!
    I would say this is one of the rare true childrens manga out there that can be read by all ages.

  • Theresa ♫

    Dude, the last time I read this book was YEARS AGO. YEEEEEEEEEARS AGO, meaning the 5th grade.
    And I'm a freshman in high school right now, so that's saying something, right??

    But I do remember Cardcaptor Sakura. And I liked this series, especially the MOTC series.

    Since I can't remember EVERY SINGLE BIT of Cardcaptor Sakura: MOTC, I will try to make this review short and snappy. (And...I have to read like 18 other books and one of them is due to my school library TOMORROW!!!! HYAH!

    So basically, this book was adorable. ADORABLE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHDORABLE. It's also extremely original and I've never read a book like it!! EVER!!! EVER!! This is a one of a kind series.
    And the romance is adorable. I loved the situation where there is someone trying to confess but always getting interrupted AND how the person getting confessed to is so incredibly dense.
    Even though it gets me sitting at the edge of my seat, I just love the suspense! I LOVE IT!!!

    So basically the story is originally original. The story is cute. I liked it. 3 SPARKLY SPARKLY STARS!!!!!
    So if you're a fan of mahou shoujo manga, you'll love this one.


    -I'll show you a sweet dream, next night.

    Good...but not great.

    Damas y caballeros, arrancamos la segunda parte de la saga y donde todo se torna un poco mas raro, nuevos personajes que amo con todo mi ser. Aparece nuestro querido Eriol como nuevo compañero de clase de Sakura, justo cuando Li se queria volver a Hong Kong pero bueno nuevo personaje sospechoso lo hace quedarse para “vigilarlo”. Si, Li, todos sabemos que es solo por Sakura, no te engañes a vos mismo. Tambien tenemos al pequeño Spinel! Un kero version remasterizada. Y no solo personaje nuevo cerca de Sakura sino de Touya tambien Akitsuki hizo su aparicion! Debo admitir que este personaje era uno de los que mas me llamaba la atencion cuando era chica y miraba el anime. Insisto que la naturalidad con la que CLAMP maneja este mundo es tan iincreible y avanzado para su época, mas autores deberían seguir su ejemplo.

    Por lo pronto voy a decir que las cosas se le ponen complicadas a Sakura cuando un gran poder (CLOW) comienza a causar problemas en su ciudad, a pesar de tener las cartas Clow atrapadas y selladas ahora su nueva mision es convertirlas a todas en las cartass Sakura. Animo! vos podes! Todo va a estar bien!

    Sakura: (in a letter to Ms. Mizuki) We have a new student in 5th grade, class 2, today. A boy named Eriol Hiiragizawa. He seems like a nice guy. But... (out loud) ...it doesn't seem like I just met him for the first time... Hiiragizawa...
    Eriol: Me, neither.
    Sakura: (surprised) H-Hiiragizawa!
    Eriol: Oh, I'm sorry to surprise you. It doesn't feel like I'm meeting you for the first time, either...
    Sakura: It's rather strange.
    Eriol: Maybe we've met before. Perhaps we've met each other before we were born.


    These are my favorite note from this volume:
    - Eriol has come to the school.
    - Kero's longing feeling for his previous master.
    - And Suppi's arrival, my cutie pie one (sorry Kero), can't wait for next volume when Kero will force him with the sweet food.



    DO I NEED TO SAY MORE? BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST.

  • Sandra Girard-Demontigny

    It had been a while since I had read Sakura's book and I really missed it. It was really good and I really devoured it. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next book. I will probably read it later in the day since I have it with me. I like Sakura's character so much. It reminds me of my youth.

    Ça faisait un bon moment que je n'avais pas lu de livre de Sakura et ça ma vraiment manqué. Il était vraiment bon et je l'ai vraiment dévoré. J'ai vraiment hâte de voir ce qui se produira dans le prochain tome. Je vais probablement le lire plus tard dans la journée étant donné que je l'ai avec moi. J'aime tellement le personnage de Sakura. Ça me rappel ma jeunesse.

  • Harumichi Mizuki

    Ini adalah buku CCS yang pertama kali kubaca waktu SMP. Pinjem dari teman. Hahaha. Senang sekali bisa memilikinya sekarang.

    Muncul Eriol, Nakuru (Ruby Moon), dan Spinnel Sun sebagai tiga karakter baru misterius di sini. Shaoran langsung cemburu berat begitu melihat Eriol langsung berakrab-akrab dengan Sakura. Dia sampai batal pulang ke Hong Kong, loh! Eciyaaah!

    Kehadiran Eriol tentu saja untuk membuat "kekacauan" di kota Tomoeda agar Sakura bisa mengerahkan kekuatannya untuk mengubah Clow Card menjadi Sakura Card.

    Edan lah Eriol. Di sini dia ngendalikan Syaoran buat nyerang Sakura. Ujian buat cardcaptor makin gawat aja.

  • Anne

    Reading manga by candlelight! We had a power outage.

    I never really clicked with Eriol or the other new characters introduced in this run. I do, however, love that Sakura has to save Syaoran from Eriol using the Sword card here. It's a nice reversal of the Sword arc in the first series.

    Also, I forgot about the teddy bear thing, which is a shame because it is adorable, but that also means I forgot that it starts with Rika. Poor Rika. The series thinks they're treating her well when in fact they're horrible to her.

  • Soobie's heartbroken

    I nuovi tipi non mi piacciono per niente: Eriol è viscido come Moggi, Naruku è appiccicosa come una cozza e non lascia in pace il mio adorato Tōya.

    Però adoro come Syaoran sta lentamente capendo di chi è innamorato. Anche se non riesco a far pace con l'idea che tutti loro sono in quarta elementare.

    Ormai ho passato la metà. In questi giorni assurdi non rimane altro che leggere... e andare per campagne con il cane.

  • Hannah Belyea

    Sakura may have mastered the Clow Cards, but when dangerous enchantments start popping up in her town and causing trouble, she'll need to unlock an even deeper power if she hopes to protect herself, the Clow Cards, and her loved ones! CLAMP begins a new and exciting arc with decent setup and age appropriate romance for fans seeking to jump in once again. What sort of dangers will Sakura and her friends face from these new powers?

  • Karla Jaime G-R

    Este se podría considerar la segunda temporada de Sakura Card Captor 🤓☝️ Un nuevo misterio con nuevos retos que dejan agotada a Sakura.

    Cartas Clow transformadas: fuego y espada

    PD: Aquí entre nos, cuando veía el anime de niña, me preocupaba y sentía pena cada vez que Sakura se desmayaba jajaja la vivía al 100% 😂

  • Ikayuro

    Ahhh, it's been so long since I've read these!! They've been sitting on my bookshelf for about 15 or more years, now, and I figured it was time to revisit them.

    I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed the second "season" of this series; we're introduced to new characters and a brand new plot, along with a helpful recap of the previous events. The art remains top notch, as well!

  • Genesis

    Tomoyo will always be my favorite. She is so mature. Her reactions when Eriol first show up and how Li is so jealous. My favorite part was when they go to the store to get the bear supplies and she tells sakura "I want the person I love to be happy more than i want their love returned " and then "if the person I love is happy, that's all i need to be happy"🥰🥰🥰

  • Sophia Northfield

    Fun cutsy girly magical girl manga with innocent romance and fantasy

  • Aimee

    I enjoyed this first installment to this series. I found the first 6 volumes for twenty cents a piece at a thrift store. What a deal for such good manga.

  • Aimé Corona

    Amo a Syaoran <3

  • Tefy Lima

    Las cosas se estan poniendo color de hormiga. Estoy ansiosa por ver que pasa

  • Shirley Ririhena

    Childhood favorite, still one of my favorite times doesn't change my opinion

  • Brujaxa

    Estoy muy intrigada por los últimos acontecimientos, no me los esperaba en absoluto.

    Aún no hay mucha acción y es más diálogo y recapitulación de la historia anterior.
