5.0 out of 5 stars Sakura and Syaoran: Major Angst Alert!!!, November 15, 2003

CLAMP have done it again. Another beautiful book, the end of Cardcaptor Sakura. This book focused on the relationships of Cardcaptor Sakura and brings them all to a close. Everyone is shown with their loved one. Fujitaka and Nadeshiko are reunited, we are shown that Eriol and Kaho are together, as are Rika and Mr Terada, Chiharu and Yamazaki, and Eriol tells us that Yukito chose Touya to be his first love (although we already knew that from book 4), and since Touya sacrificed his magic to save Yuki and he touches Yuki's face a LOT when they talk we can assume he feels the same way. So everyone has their special, number one person except... Sakura and Syaoran. So Syaoran finally confesses... we could see this was coming, but CLAMP twists it into angst territory. I am not going to say too much, but there is a lot of angst, and then a happy ending of course!! My one disappointment was how little Touya and Yukito appear in this book, but then I am a manic Touya and Yuki fangirl, so that is probably just me. A beautiful end to a beautiful series. And this is coming from someone who hates romance novels or movies. This is the only thing vaguely near romance I can stand, and that is because CLAMP is so skilled at injecting just the right level of sappiness into it. :) And who can resist Yue at the beginning when he is sulking and Eriol is talking to him?

5.0 out of 5 stars A very beautiful ending, September 26, 2003

It's different from the cartoon ending in some respects; for example, what exactly happens differs, and because the manga doesn't implement magic into this last book, it's more realistic, and I guess more people can relate to it, which makes it more endearing. And it's very touching. I've read it three times in a row (right when I got it) and I cried every time, maybe more so the successive times than the first. The pain that Sakura feels is so well described with the few simple words that Clamp chose, it's remarkable. The anguish that she feels you feel too, because if you can put yourself in that position--and even if you can't it's still so well-written that you don't really have to--you'll understand what she's going through and you'll feel for her. The simplistic vocab is expected (they are fifth graders after all--a few are older but that doesn't matter as much), and it gives the stories a nice touch. Plus the fantastic artwork can stand alone as one of the reasons why you should buy the manga (it was one of my reasons). And the ending is so happy, it would put Cinderella to shame--Clamp put together so many pairings to bring the message of love across it's almost repetitive (it's NOT, but almost). A very well done romance novel that you'd want to read again. Like Amber Spyglass, though significantly different. This twelfth installation is one that I recommend for those looking for a sweet romance and a lovely ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars working my way through the series..., June 8, 2004

In this book, several characters are leaving. Eriol is going back to England, and Syaoran Li is going back to Hong Kong. Sakura finally has to decide what she really feels for Li. As usual, the most interesting thing about this series is the relationships - if the series were just about capturing cards, I would have stopped reading a long time ago. I loved this volume, because reading about Sakura as she works through her feelings was very interesting. The artwork is still beautiful, and I definitely recommend this book. I think it would probably be best to read this volume after reading at least some of the previous volumes. There is a "the story thus far" section, as well as some information about each of the main characters, but you might still miss out on the emotional impact of this book if you begin with it.
