Summary: Great Shojo!
Review: Card Captor Sakura has recently joined mt favorite manga and anime (a little below SailorMoon). Even though there's a lot of suspension of disbelief, it's still a great story. I love mangas like this, everything isn't all blood and guts, and Sakura's costumes are wonderful. It's a perfect manga for any shojo fan ^_^

Summary: A magnificent manga!
Review: This first volume in the Cardcaptor Sakura saga is absolutely amazing! The artwork is top-notch (as is expected with CLAMP.) It is very detailed and extremely cute! The story is rather unique, Sakura, an ordinary girl opens The Clow, a magic book and awakens the gaurdian beast who let magical cards escape from the book. Sakura, therefore, is picked by the gaurdian beast to save the world from evil by sealing the cards, becoming Cardcaptor Sakura! The story is engaging and is also wonderful in how it can keep young children excited without putting the older ones to sleep. A must-see for every one! ^_^

Summary: Great!
Review: This was a very fun and great book to read. Not really a book... I really enjoyed it, the art was outstanding, the characters were funny (In a good way) and the plot was very nicely thought out. I liked how the names weren't translated like in the TV series (Ex. Tomoyo to MADISON. How dumb is that?) I was looking forward to seeing Syaoran (Seeing as I know the outline of the story, but have no clue about individual comics) but he wasn't introduced. That's why I'm looking forward to book number 2! ^^

Summary: Great eye candy, but...
Review: I don't really know about this. The artwork, like all of CLAMP's artwork, is gorgeous, but the story itself is unrealistic. Sometimes. It's annoying how Sakura's father just happens to be great at cooking and sewing, or how she's a great athlete and her friends all think she's a goddess or something. And aren't Tomoyo and Sakura a little smart for 10-year-olds? No, I'm not saying 10-year-olds are dumb, but Tomoyo and Sakura act a lot smarter than most 4th graders are. And you think a 10-year-old girl would have 4 or 5 bodyguards just because she's rich and they can afford it? She's not a celebrity or anything. And how can such a young girl design and sew clothes in such an expertise manner? And fast, too! Plus, the enemy always attacks just enough to show itself, giving Sakura enough time to go home, plan a strategy, put on one of her wacky costumes, and go face it. See, this is what we call "plot conveniences". What if the card just kept on attacking? Then what would Sakura do? And of course, we have Mixx's wonderful translations. The font and font size they use just don't go. The letters are way too big and scraggly, it seems. It would work better if they just used all caps, like in comic books. And sometimes the grammar was so messed up I couldn't even tell what was going on. Plus, Toya's school's name was changed and Yukito's name was shortened to "Yuki". Well, that's what I expected from Mixx, but I expected a better story from CLAMP. I would suggest Magic Knight Rayearth a lot more. Though the characters don't look their age, it has a lot better storyline and everything in their world isn't perfect. Some may think it's too short, but in the second series a lot of things are..well, figured out. Just go read it!

Summary: three cheers for Cardcaptor Sakura!!
Review: this is definitley a manga you should check out. Beating out all the other shoujo mangas out there breaking all the artistic barriers that held back many of the other shoujo mangas such as Sailor Moon. This is also one to have considering the large popularity growth it is having in America after Nelvana released a show based on it called Cardcaptors....however don't expect it to be exactly the same as the manga...a lot of it is changed and edited for American tv (dumb stuff like Sakura's last name!!)Hopefully they wont change much in the CCS movie ( but eve if they do you can always buy the japanese version w/subtitles) But please trust me on this one..Cardcaptor Sakura is a suprisingly good series with lots of twist and turns never leaving you confused or bored. And i looove the battle costumes ^_^ very creative and a well put together manga....go out and get it! Hope i helped ~gloriastar~ (watch for my ccs website opening soon!!)

Summary: Charmingly seductive ^_~
Review: First let me start by saying that I don't own the English version Of Card Captor Sakura[CCS from now on],this review is based on volumes of CCS that I own in another language.The whole Japanese collection is 12 volumes Card Captor Sakura is another masterpiece by CLAMP,a group of 4 very talented ladies.It revolves around the story of Sakura(a 10 year old girl if I'm not mistaken),an innocent and cheerful girl who accidently opens a magical sealed book in her father's study.The magical cards all fly out of the book and a small winged lion cub named Cerberus or Kero-chan as Sakura calls him,appears and panics that the cards have all run away and immediately appoints Sakura as Card Captor,warning her that if she doesn't collect all the cards a great catastrophe would occur. The story sounds like you typical magical girl adventure,but consider that it's done by CLAMP and you know that there will be enough twists and surprises in the plot to keep you interested(and it does).The art is exceptionally CUTE,all the characters are a joy to behold done in CLAMP's trademark style.With 52 cards to capture and master,Sakura has quite a burden to carry,not to mention her crush on her brother's best friend,annoying Kero-chan,and her best friend Tomoyo who supplies her with very cute and beautiful costumes to wear on her card-capturing moments and insists on videotaping Sakura in them.Much to Sakura's embarressment and shyness. CCS is a magical adventure story with many secrets and plot surprises,a colourful and charming cast,with themes of friendship and love,and complemented by CLAMP's magnificent art and storytelling.It makes a nice addition to any manga fan's library and a must for fans of CLAMP. NOTE:CCS contains some ideas not suited for younger readers,like a love relationship students and teachers of different ages and hints of homosexuality.There is no GRAPHICAL sex or violence,and most of it is hinted and suggested that only the astute reader would ever notice it.However I felt that I would be misleading you if I didn't mention this.Like I said,it's all very subtle,and you shouldn't allow it to keep you from buying this title.But if you can't stand even hints...(shrugs)well it's your choice.

Summary: Mixx, Mixx, Mixx...
Review: This book is not what it should be. Believe me, I LOVE Cardcaptor Sakura, but what Mixx has done to this masterpeice should not be allowed. They have this annoying habit of seeming not to check for spelling errors. I've seen so many in here...And their lettering! They type in the text, in the ugliest and largest font possible, repelling anyone who opens the cover. Speaking of the cover...it looks like someone Xeroxed it and then laminated it. Ick. Not even the original cover. The story is readable in Mixx's format, just not as enjoyable as if it were well-done. If you want a well-done cardcaptor Sakura manga... and buy the Bilingual Comics edition by Kodansha. Now THAT is a job well done. Don't get me wrong, I adore Cardcaptor Sakura. Just not in the horribly amateurish *thing* that Mixx tries to pull off.

Summary: Elf-cute fantasy adventures for the preteen girls
Review: CLAMP is well-noted for its dewy-eyed "shojo" world of wistful-looking reed-thin teenage waifs with BIG liquid eyes, long flowing hair, and uncanny ability to wield magic. Here it is all about a plucky, slightly ditzy young girl named Sakura - this time she's at a foal-legged prepubescent age and thus still in elementary school. Sakura ventures into her father's study one day and finds a mysterious book there. But when she opens it, she accidently frees all the mischievous elemental sprites to wreak havoc upon her pretty too-good-to-be-true utopian world where she lives and is loved by all. So what looks like a baby winged lion cub darts out to scold Sakura for what she has done, so it makes her into a magical superheroine with the great task to collect all the "Cards" before they could do any real damage. Sakura's best friend, Tomoyo who worships her ground a bit too much for her own good, enthusiastically lends her all sorts of really fancy costumes for her big exploits. Also caught up in the whole whirlwird of flying cards and very frightening perils are Toya, Sakura's pesky older brother and his friend, Yuki the sweet-faced heartthrob Sakura's always mooning over. (He looks alot like her loving dad, so small wonder!) Her deceased mother even comes breezing back as a gorgeous fairy princess that her little daughter would often picture in her young mind. So welcome back to such a dreamy childhood fantasyland full of so much innocence and beauty it's a bit silly, yet it would still make a great escapist for all the manga lovers!
