More About the Author

Clamp, stylized as CLAMP, is an all-female Japanese manga artist group that formed in the mid 1980s. Many of the group's manga series are often adapted into anime after release. It consists of their leader Nanase Ohkawa, who provides much of the storyline and screenplay for all their works and adaptations of those works respectively, and three artists whose roles shift for each series: Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi. Almost 100 million Clamp tankōbon copies have been sold worldwide as of October 2007.

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura: 4 (Kodansha bilingual comics) (English and Japanese Edition) (Comic)

I love these. For a student of Japanese who's not quite up to just reading Japanese on their own, bilingual comics like this are a godsend because you get to compare the translations side-by-side without having to have two copies of the comic in hand.

Even though every line is there in both English and Japanese, it's not as cluttered as it easily could have been. One language in the bubbles and one language off to the side, usually in the margins.

It's published by the Japanese publisher of Card Captor Sakura, but the English translations are well done.
