Summary: This started the craze...
Review: I'm sure everyone has heard of Card Captor Sakura (or Cardcaptors, as it is known in the United States). Well, this is the manga that started it all. Whereas the TV series shows us how she opened the book and got the job, here that first adventure is seen only in a brief flashback. And she does not face off with the cards in the same order that she does in the anime. That may have something to do with the fact that there are only about a third of the cards featured in the manga than are in the show and movie. A good series that was made into an exceptional TV series (until it was butchered by the US and our critics).

Summary: Bad quality, bad translation
Review: I'd read the entire Cardcaptor Sakura manga on the web and I loved it. I read a fan-translated version, but I wanted to own an actually paper-and-ink copy. But first, I checked it out at the library to see how good the translation was. I'm very glad I did and didn't just buy it. The book has only been checked out a few times, and yet already the pages are starting to fall out. But much worse than that is the translation. They changed a lot of names: for instance "Yukito Tsukishiro" became "Yuki Tsukisiro," "Touya" became "Toya" and "Yue" became "Yueh." Since all the names have meaning, this is a bit of an odd thing to do, and I found it very annoying. Another thing that annoyed me was that there seemed to be a lot of changes to dialogue, and although they were small, there didn't seem to be any real reason behind it. Finally, they took a mirror image of each page. That by itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, it was just a bit hard to remember to read it from left to right when it is, afterall, manga. So, my advice is to not buy this translation. I hear there's a bilingual edition by Kodansha that's much better, although I've never looked at it. This is a really great story, and it doesn't deserve to be ruined by a bad translation.

Summary: A fun read, very nice manga
Review: Cardcaptor Sakura leaps into the adventure from the first page. The action is fast paced and sprinkled with an amount of fourth grade life. Sakura is a spunky 10 year old with an almost-perfect life that makes everyone want to be a cardcaptor. The manga is drawn beautifully and the ideas are original. The name changes do not bother me as much as they do others. The reasons that I took a star off of this manga are: The plot seems to skip a few frames every now and then and it all seemed to be over so fast! Still there is not much you can change with this great manga and I cant wait to read more.

Summary: New translations but same great story line
Review: First I would like to say I actally read the original translation which I bought while in Japan but have read the sample pages here. It has a great story line - better than sailor moon.
It's about a 10 year old girl called Sakura who opens one of her fathers books to find a set of cards, the clow cards. The 1st card is "The Windy" she picks it up and reads the name out loud. The wind blows and the cards are released. The cute guardian of the book (yes the Japanese had to have their trademark cute thing) dubs her a card captor and now she has to get the cards back. After she captures each one she can use its powers to get the others.
This translation is a little weird eg. her calling the key in the original version she says "key to the dark power show us your true shape, I Sakura demand by contract! RELEASE!" It was changes in the translation.
Still the great story line and the fact they took out the Japanese writing and made the book read from left to right more than makes up for the little translation errors. A must have for any anime/manga fan and not just for kids I'm a 15 year old girl and I loved it.

Summary: Kawaii Manga ^.^
Review: This is a great manga, I am very happy that, unlike in the dubbed anime (uuuck), they didn't change the original japanese names and towns... Tokyopop did good on this one, though not as good as they did on Marmalade Boy, it is certainly a much better adaptation than that of Sailor Moon or Magic Knight Raearth.
Personally I think the art in this is a lot cuter and funner than other CLAMP works, it's easier to understand as well, even if a thousand tributaries of side stories run though it since it still _is_ shoujo manga. I'd give this a 5 star if the sixth book wasn't better, keep reading this, the story just gets better and better...

Summary: Very Cute!!!
Review: Cardcaptor Sakura is a manga made by the ladies of CLAMP. I'll skip introducing the plot, because I'm sure no one needs to read it again. I've read the first 5 volumes of the manga and I've seen 39 episodes of the anime(subtitled of course). I like this series a lot. CCS is very cute and funny but is serious enough that I don't get sick of it. I have two gripes, though. 1 is that Tokyopop aren't exactly, umm, the best translators out there. My 2nd gripe has to do with the plot itself. Why is Sakura's world so perfect? She's popular at school, her friends adore her, and she seems like the perfect daughter. It would be a bit more interesting if she had some problems other than the Clow Cards. (Yeah, even though she's incredibly sweet, I think I'm beginning to dislike Sakura a bit) Now this normally would take a lot out of the rating, but everything else in this series is so well done that it *almost* makes up my little gripe. And the artwork is absolutely superb!! I recommend it, but I don't think CCS is CLAMP's best series.

Summary: This is a very sweet story, but a puzzle also.
Review: It's no wonder this series did so well--the anime & manga are funny, sweet, adventure filled & beautifully illustrated. In this volume we get to know 4th Grader Sakura & her family & Kero, the guardian beast plush toy & Julian, the object of Sakura's major crush. I'm missing the middle of the story (I skip from here to about vol 12 of the monthly manga, & of course the KidsWB mangled the anime & the Japanese sub is painfully slowly being released here (4 eps every 2 months. We've just started the 2nd season), but it seems Julian is always there to offer Sakura the key to solving the problems she has catching the cards which clashes with what we were told in the WB version(that he has to remain neutral). I think part of the appeal is the pacing of the clues--I find myself going back to prior volumes to double-check things regularly. Some might object to the various romantic interests(a later ref to Toya & Julian being very popular, but having no girlfriends, Tomoyo's dedication to Sakura not unlike her mother's devotion to Sakura's mother, Li's almost violent reactions to Julian being around Sakura all the time & obvious crush on Julian), but much of it has obvious (magical) reasons--Li's affections tranfer to a more logical(magically powerful) human.

Summary: Very sweet and cute
Review: This is the first book in a terrific series. This book was captivating from the very first page. I only wish I had enough money to buy the rest of the series. T_T
Though the drawings are almost SD and kawaii, CCS is a beautiful manga that gets a little more intense.

Summary: Sakura- a great book, 5/5
Review: ...Don't be fooled by the exrept- this is the beginning. The plotline is amazing (and yes- THERE IS one), the art too, and everything else. The first book in Cardcaptor Sakura is an innocent one. Sakura has a crush over Yukito, and that's it. But the later ones has somethings that maybe parents won't think it's a good idea that their children will read.
The later books contains hints of homosexuality and lesbian relationships, and teacher-student ones. NOTHING is graphic- but the hints are still there. One day, Sakura finds a book named 'Clow'. She opens it, and sees cards. After a few seconds there is a strong wind that takes the cards. Then the gaurdian beast of the seal comes out, and makes her the Cardcaptor. After all - IT IS her responsibility. And so, she goes to collect the cards with her best friend tomoyo (the nut friend that tapes EVERYTHING on the video, AND makes her battle costumes), and Kero, the sun gaurdian beast.
