Cardcaptors: Cinemanga, Vol. 1

カードキャプターさく [Cardcaptor Sakura] #1

by Kodansha, Clamp

"My name is Sakura and I'm in the fourth grade. My favorite subject is P.E., and I hate math. One day I found this really cool old book in my dad's library (he's an archaeology professor) and when I opened it, a bunch of cards flew out and disappeared. That's when I met Kerberos, the Guardian Beast. He explained that they were Clow cards--magical creatures who take the form of cards. With the Clow Cards on the loolse, terrible things could happen. It's up to me, Kerberos, and my friends Madison and Li to bring them all back. We are the Cardcaptors "

Great book, sort of a pokemon spin off (im sure people will disagree haha :) ) but yeh really loved it as well as the tv series!

[Julie]

Yeah, Clamp! They're so much fun. I like the magical elements, the chibi guardian, and the strong female characters. The girls in this book like each other and are not catty or villainous.
