5.0 out of 5 stars An EXCELENT manga!!!, February 14, 2003

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura, Number 5 (Paperback)

Ok, so I know the book looks so much thinner and smaller in comparison to the others, but Book % is my favorire- mostly because of the school play(tee hee!). As usual, CLAMP has done a superior job on the artwork, and there is a lot of humor.
Also, there is a nice sweet episode without card-collecting where Sakura meets a nice old man on a family vacation.
A wonderful book to add to your collection, and just as good for starters if you're new to manga!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Out!, December 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura, Number 5 (Paperback)

Well, CLAMP does it again. Although the translations aren't close to correct, and the names are shortened whenever possible (Yuki, Toya) its better than Cardcaptors (Julian, Tori) and there is another factor: Japanese, going up and down, certainly uses vertical speech balloons, while English goes more horizontal. So, if you are not a perfactionist, this is perfect. MUCH cheaper than the Kodashna ones, these also have 3 mangas in one (I think).
In this one, Light and Dark are caught, along with a no card episode which is CCS's strong point: tons of side dramas (vs. CC's point-less plot). So get this, as fast as you can *hint, hint mom!* Toyko Pop, the publishers (or is it editors) are producing these at a slower rate, so you'll have to wait a bit for the next one, but it's worth it! CCS is an AWSOME anime, that will keep you interested throughout the entire series, and screaming for a 4th season (ends now with 3 seasons and 2 movies). I know for one that I haven't watched TV for 11 years until I came across this.
