Cardcaptor Sakura Collector's Edition 1

Cardcaptor Sakura (CCS) is arguably CLAMP's most successful series to date, and is perhaps the most famous Magical Girl series after Sailor Moon (both series appeared in the same manga magazine, Nakayoshi, in the 90s). In the world of anime and manga, CCS has acquired the same sort of legendary, "classic" status that novels by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters have been given in the canon of English literature.10-year-old Sakura Kinomoto lives a seemingly normal life. She struggles with maths, quarrels with her older brother, has a huge crush on the latter's best friend, Yukito, and she hangs out with her friends, particularly her own best friend, Tomoyo. That is, until the day she accidentally opens a magical book in her father's library. And thus begins her quest as the Cardcaptor: a gatherer of magical cards that would cause chaos if not retrieved.Art-wise, CCS is by far one of the most beautifully drawn manga series ever made. Absolutely stunning. The series also features incredible characters, all of whom are so likeable that one starts to care for them as if they were real. One character's story, however, has sadly not aged well: that of Sakura's friend, Rika. All fans of CCS will know what I'm referring to; newcomers will see what I mean. This should not, however, put you off by any means.As gorgeous as the cover of this new edition is, I was also, like others, disappointed that the original colour pages weren't included. The binding and pages are also somewhat delicate and should be treated with care. I am aware that this edition is based on the Japanese one which was published in 2015 in celebration of Nakayoshi's 60th anniversary; that edition too did not contain the original colour pages. However, as this is the only English edition currently in print, it will have to do.For CCS fans who are interested: on April 1st of this year, the four original CCS artbooks were republished in Japan. You can get them on Japan's Amazon page for about $25 each. It is absolutely worth it. I also highly recommend the uncut, subtitled version of the anime.Like Sailor Moon, CCS is one of (many) shoujo series that can be enjoyed by both male and female fans. Fans of CLAMP and 90s series will relish this masterpiece.

I own a copy of the omnibus edition, and it is beautiful with the color pages, page quality, and content covered.This edition is not the omnibus version, its different. It doesn't have color pages, however, not many manga are ever in hardcover, or in a larger pages.So we may not get the color pages or more manga than the previous omnibus versions, however, it is still a nice copy of the manga, and we get something new that the previous edition did not have: hardcover, and larger pages. Its a nice edition to have, and the cover is really nice. Overall satisfied.

First I will like to point out I am new in the manga word. I was very very hesitant to buy this edition due to high amount of negative reviews BUT I am so glad I did not follow them. This edition is amazing the paper is good quality is a glossy material the color is beautiful the size is perfect I just absolutely love it. It is well with the prize.

Perfect quality

So, I was hesitant to buy it because of the other reviews saying how fragile it is, etc etc, but I really wanted to read the series (hard to get the original). Anyway, I took a chance and I am so glad I did. Unless you're an aggressive page flipper, the pages are thinner than average printer grade paper, bit not made out of tissue, and it didn't fall apart in my hands like I honestly believed it would when I got it. I loved the story, and of course, already ordered the next one!

I bought the first two of these collectors edition volumes and I can't recommend them enough! I was kind of holding off on getting this series since it's so old but I can tell I'm going to love the series!! My only complaint is it took forever to get here.I did get a discount picking slower shipping even though I have prime shipping but it came 3 days later that the date expected.

I’m honestly not sure why this has so many bad reviews. The book is beautiful and came in excellent condition. The binding of my book seems to be fine. The card is not what I expected as others mentioned. It is cheap and one side was bent from being pushed too far into the binding. I gave it 4 stars because even though the book is beautiful, for it being a collector's edition I still feel it’s a bit overpriced since you’re not getting much more than a nice hardcover and a cheap card.

Got this for my little sister as a Christmas gift cause Card Capture Sakura was the first anime she ever liked. The book is a lOt bigger than I expected but still amazing

Hermoso, me encanta, vale la pena

The cover of this book is outstanding. It was bigger than I imagined, being the size of a Marvel or DC comic and was surprised with the card inside. The art style is amazing and if you are a Cardcaptor Sakura fan, then this book is a must get. Would've been cool if it had been coloured, but still so worth the purchase

Este primeiro volume do Cardcaptor Sakura Collector's é incrível. Com um tamanho maior que o normal, cores perfeitas e capa dura, ele é uma aquisição única para os fãs de Sakura CC.

Estava à espera de um volume de manga de tamanho normal, mas de capa dura, veio maior, e nao me queixo. Veio ainda com um brinde, que apos ter a coleçao toda faz um quadro de ilustração da clamp.

The media could not be loaded.  The print and binding quality are superb. I hope and wish other iconic Manga like One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, and all will also get such premium editions. Very very appreciated. Thank you Clamp, Kodansha and Indian suppliers. :)
