From Goodreads: Sakura was an average 4th-grader until the day she found the Clow, an enchanted book of magical Clow Cards. But the cards were missing Kerberos, the Creature of the Seal, emerged from the cover to warn that if the cards were not returned, they would come to life and do evil. Kerberos made Sakura a Cardcaptor, and their magical hunt for the cards began. The Cardcaptor manage spawned the hit anime and TV series shown on the Kids' WB network and Cartoon Network.
My Thoughts:
- Sakura hasn't said HOE for a while! I even forgot she used to say that.
- This last book is just a giant chick flick ending. I'm glad it was short.
- A little part of me was like "I like how Sakura and Li ended up together. That is cute!" The rest of me was like "oh please!"
- Overall, this was a cute series. It is definitely a girl manga.

- We finally get to see the whole Clow Reed thing come together. I finally got some answers to questions.
- I knew Clow Reed wasn't a bad guy!
- I love Kero and Yue!
- I wish the action scenes had been done a little better. I really couldn't tell what was going on in the fights between the guardians. It would be a great show down!

- Does Sakura and Syaoran have the same face?

From Goodreads: Capturing Clow 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, Cerberus, declared 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. After defeating Clow Reed's latest batch of magical tests, Sakura must tackle her greatest challenge yet. No, not another enchantment, but the feelings in her heart. Young Sakura has long fostered deep feelings for the older boy, Yukito, and even though it's unlikely that he feels the same way about her, she cannot continue to keep her feelings secret. But even as Sakura prepares to pour out her heart, Eriol, the mysterious transfer student with an unknown link to Clow Reed, plots another dangerous trap for the new Master of the Clow.

My Thoughts:
- This volume spent most of the time on relationships.
- I am so confused with all the love triangles!

My Thoughts:
- Sakura has big feet!
- I'm glad we don't celebrate White Day, unless it was a dayoff, then I'd want to celebrate it. We don't get Valentine's off, so I doubt we would get White Day off.
- The sheep costume was weird. I was confused for a minute.
- Tomoyo is more of a stalker than a friend. It is weird.
- The end was a little confusing. I'm not sure what happened.
- I want a break down of Toya's power. What exactly can he do?

My Thoughts:
- I am not ok with teachers going out with students, especially 4th graders!! EW!! I can' believe Sakura's dad and mom had a teacher/student relationship too!
- This new guy, Syaoran, is weird! I'm still trying to figure out if he is gay or if there is something else about Yukito that hasn't been revealed yet.
- The illustrations still crack me up!
- That sword card is really cool! I want that one!
- I don't quite understand all the different outfits Sakura has to wear when she goes out to find a Clow Card, but they are hilarious!! I liked the one with kitty ears!

Now, Sakura is thrust into a mystical journey to capture all the Clow Cards before they wreak chaos and destruction.
My Thoughts:
- I remember watching a few episodes of this Anime when I was little, so I decided to pick up the Manga.
- The first book was lots of fun. I loved meeting the characters. Sakura is such a fun character.
- There are a lot of parts where I laughed. Some of the panels made me laugh out loud. The illustrations are a riot!
- Speaking of illustrations, I loved how Watery looked!
- This is definitely more of a girl Manga.
- I liked that Sakura caught 3 cards in this one volume. If it was one card per volume, this would be a long series!
- I'm so excited to read the rest of the series.
