Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow, Volume 1

Cardcaptor Sakura, is very, very girly - this manga is so girly that there is a panther with butterfly wings in it. I read a lot of kids’ lit, and understand that when you read a children’s book you read it as a children’s book, but this was just a bit too sweet for my taste. The artwork is not as well done as some other books I’ve been reading, and I probably wouldn’t recommend these to anyone I know, however I would read more of this series if they were readily available just to see how they might develop. There is a bit of potential there for something interesting to come out of it. The basic premise is that Sakura, a primary school girl, has magical powers and is sensing some sort of environmental magical imbalance, which she will probably hope to fix in future volumes. ( )

Sakura ia a very cute little girl who has a magic power to control the dangerous clow cards. There will be adventure, and action, and maybe romance. To judge this series harshly would be cruel. ( )
