# List of Cardcaptor Sakura chapters

The manga series Cardcaptor Sakura is written and illustrated by the manga artist group Clamp. The first chapter premiered in the June 1996 issue of Nakayoshi, where it was serialized monthly until its conclusion in the August 2000 issue. The series focuses on Sakura Kinomoto, a fourth grade elementary school student who discovers that she possesses magical powers after accidentally freeing a set of magical cards from the book in which they had been sealed for years. She is tasked with retrieving those cards in order to avoid an unknown catastrophe from befalling the world.
The 50 unnamed chapters were collected and published in 12 tankōbon volumes by Kodansha starting on November 22, 1996; the last volume was released on July 31, 2000. Kodansha re-released the series in a hardcover edition from March 5, 2004, to February 2, 2005. Starting in March 2015, Kodansha began re-releasing the series in a nine-volume special edition to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Nakayoshi. Cardcaptor Sakura was adapted into a 70-episode anime series by Madhouse that aired in Japan on NHK from April 8, 1998, to March 21, 2000. Madhouse also produced two animated films released in 1999 and 2000. The manga series is licensed for regional language releases by Pika Édition in France, Star Comics in Italy, Egmont Manga & Anime in Germany, Editora JBC in Brazil, Ever Glory Publishing in Taiwan, Glènat España in Spain, Editorial Ivrea in Argentina, and Editorial Toukan in Mexico.
Kodansha released the first six volumes in bilingual editions that included both Japanese and English from May 12, 2000, to July 13, 2001. Cardcaptor Sakura was licensed for an English-language release in North America by Tokyopop. It released the volumes of Cardcaptor Sakura from March 1, 2000, to August 5, 2003. Tokyopop released the first six volumes with the book "flipped" from the original Japanese orientation, in which the book is read from right-to-left, to the Western format with text oriented from left-to-right. Volumes seven through twelve were released in the original orientation with the subtitle Master of the Clow. On October 7, 2003, and May 4, 2004, Tokyopop re-released the first six volumes in two box sets, each containing three volumes. The re-released volumes were updated to match the orientation and cover styling of the final six volumes. They were also released individually from July 6, 2004, to June 7, 2005. Madman Entertainment used Tokyopop's English translation to release the series in Australia and New Zealand. Dark Horse Manga published an English edition of the series in four omnibus volumes containing three of the original volumes each from October 2010 to September 2012.

| Kaho Mizuki reveals that she is Eriol's accomplice, and played an indirect part in Sakura defeating Yue during her challenge.

Eriol also reveals to Yue (who believes that his beloved master has returned) that while he is Clow Reed's reincarnation, he is only the heir to his memories and not Clow Reed himself; noting sadly that there is no way to bring back the deceased. He explains that this was why Clow left both Yue and Kero under Sakura's care. He notes that he was glad to have met Clow's creations; both Yue and Kero. One morning at school Eriol announces he is returning to England. Eriol and Miss Mizuki reveal their love for one another. While walking home from school with Sakura, Syaoran confesses to Sakura his love for her, telling Sakura that he not only loves her but is the person he loves the most. That night, Sakura reflects on Syaoran's confession and wonders what it is she feels for Syaoran; realizing that what she feels for Syaoran is different to how she felt about Yukito. Sakura seeks advice from Tomoyo, Rika and Chiharu (who reveals to Sakura that she not only loves their classmate Yamazaki but has been in a relationship with him for a long time) before she resolves that she loves Syaoran. When Syaoran tells Sakura he is moving back to Hong Kong, she crafts him a teddy bear. Yukito sees this and asks Sakura if she found the person she loves the most. Sakura replies happily that she did, but is sad, not knowing when she will see Syaoran again. Yukito assures her that they will see each other again as long as they both want to be together. Before Syaoran's coach leaves to take him to the airport, Sakura reaches him with Toya's help (despite his negative feelings about Syaoran) and reciprocates Syaoran's feelings, telling Syaoran that he is her "Number One;" the person she loves the most. Syaoran happily takes the bear, knowing that Sakura feels the same about him, and they agree to name their respective bears after each other. As his coach leaves Syaoran promises to return and desperately asks Sakura if she will wait for him, and vows that she will. Over the next few years, Sakura and Syaoran maintain a long-distance relationship. One morning, when Sakura starts Middle School, Syaoran returns and reunites with Sakura, who reveals that he is back for good, and they resolve to be together as an official couple. |||||

These consisted of Sakura and Syaoran waving at each other while meeting at their rendezvous (similar to a panel from the extra chapter), Sakura comically tripping and Syaoran panicking and grabbing Sakura’s arm to save her from falling, Sakura enjoying an ice cream and Syaoran getting himself one while smiling at her, and (back outside the Kinomoto home) a blushing Syaoran presenting a blushing Sakura with a bouquet of flowers. |||||

| Sakura begins to wonder if she is manifesting the situations that spawn the very cards she is creating. In a flashback, Yuna determines that Akiho is a blank canvas that can be impressed upon. Syaoran reveals to Sakura that he siphoned her Sakura Cards from her because her powers were growing far too strong and could lead her to a life of unhappiness. The cards manifest and tell Sakura they went along with Syaoran to help him protect Sakura. Since Eriol is unable to connect with Kero and Yue, he sends Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun to Tomoeda to assist them. Sakura is deeply sad at Syaoran's revelation, indirectly voicing her suspicion that his reason for coming back to Tomoeda was out of a sense of duty; not out of love and wanting to be with her. Taken aback, Syaoran tells Sakura that his mission was only part of his reason for returning; he just wanted to see her again as soon as possible. Happy and reassured, Sakura tells Syaoran she wishes she knew him when he was younger; regretting the memories they missed out on. He suddenly transforms into a toddler. Sakura secures a card, Rewind, that resembles Syaoran and reverts him back to his normal age. Before returning to normal, Syaoran assures Sakura that they have plenty of time to make new memories together, who smiles lovingly back at Syaoran and agrees. Yuna is waiting for Sakura to create a particular card. Syaoran attempts to tell Sakura some knowledge about her current predicament, but Kaito's magic prevents him from expressing himself. Cards secured: Blade, Repair, and Rewind. Note: A special edition of this volume was released in Japan that came with the first of two Drama CDs. This adapted several scenes from the earlier chapters of the manga and episodes of the anime, while also featuring new scenes such as a telephone conversation between Syaoran and Eriol. |||||

| During a festival Sakura and Syaoran find that they are prevented from touching each other. Each time they try and touch they are burnt by a charge of electricity.

| Yuna D. Kaito encounters Nadeshiko's spirit; learning about her past and regrets the fact that Akiho never grew up in a loving home like Sakura did. Yuna later encounters Syaoran, and they engage in battle, and Yuna reveals that he is waiting for Sakura to create the Clear Card he is waiting for. Yuna warns Syaoran that his motives will likely make Syaoran angry. When Sakura discovers them and confronts them, Yuna turns back time once more. Momo is revealed to be a guardian of a book regarding time magic. Cards secured: Transfer and Promise. Short Story Summary: While getting herself ready to make dinner with Kero and Spinel, Sakura looks at the bear she gave to Syaoran and picks it up smiling; remembering the time she revealed to Syaoran that she loves him and gave it to him. She wonders if the bear she exchanged with Syaoran (the one he originally gave Sakura) misses her. Holding her bear close to her face, Sakura expresses the hope that she, Syaoran and their two bears will all be together someday. Kero then calls Sakura, and having realized she forgot about the cooking, heads off to the kitchen. At that moment, Sakura’s bear glows with magical energy. At the same time, back at his apartment, Syaoran has the funny feeling that someone is calling for him. Looking down at his phone, Syaoran picks it up and rings Sakura. Syaoran awkwardly tells Sakura that he didn’t need anything; trying to say that he just wanted to talk to her. The two have a conversation (the details of which aren’t shown), and Syaoran says to Sakura that he’s happy he got to talk to her as well. Unknown to Syaoran, his bear also glows with magical energy, and an unknown voice says (above an image of the two glowing bears) that they hope they can all be together someday; just as Sakura did earlier. Note 1: Chapter 41, which is reprinted in this volume, features Syaoran’s mother Yelan for the first time. Previously, she only appeared in the anime version. Yelan appears in future chapters, as well as in the “Until We Meet Again” bonus manga that was included in a special edition of Volume 10 in Japan (set during the time Syaoran and Sakura maintained a long-distance relationship while he was in Hong Kong). Note 2: In Chapter 43, which is reprinted in this volume, Sakura reflects on the time Yukito (in CCS Chapter 40) assured her that the person she loves most is still out there, and when she finds him, he will love her more than anyone. Sakura remembers the words Syaoran told her, but before he can say them Syaoran recites them (“Don’t worry. I’ll know you’ll find them someday”). Sakura smiles lovingly back at Syaoran, saying that she did find that person (Syaoran). The official English translation translates this scene a bit differently (although the meaning is still the same), quoting Sakura as saying that Yukito told her her favorite person is still out there, and when she found him, he would be his favorite person in the world too. This differs both from the Dark Horse and Kodansha USA translations of CCS Chapter 40, which quoted Yukito as saying that the person she loves most is still out there, and when she finds him, he will love her more than anyone. |||||

| Sakura encounters the mysterious entity from her dreams at school and she combats them.

Syaoran tells Sakura thinks that her dreams may be a premonition of what is to come. Feeling guilty that he may have worried her, Syaoran confides in the cards who reassure him, while Light suggests to Syaoran that he invites her out on a date. Although Syaoran deeply loves Sakura and has been in a relationship with Sakura for a while now and has been dating her since his return to Tomoeda, he has never asked her out on a date due to his shy and nervous nature. Remembering where Sakura invited him on their first date, Syaoran thinks to himself that its his turn to ask Sakura out. He eventually does so after some prompting by Kero; leaving Syaoran embarrassed and Sakura in a joyful, happy mood; having been asked out by her boyfriend. Syaoran later talks happily to Sakura about their upcoming date, and both are embarrassed when they see their friends Yamazaki and Naoko giggling at them. Sakura and Akiho also continue to have shared dreams. At school, time stops for all except Sakura and Syaoran, and Syaoran's cards are suddenly pulled from him. Sakura uses Siege and Syaoran uses Windy to pull them back, recovering all except the Mirror Card.

Thinking Yuna stopped time, Momo animates and reviews the situation, only to be discovered by Sakura. Their cover blown, Momo determines what to do next. Cards secured: Mirage and Dreaming. Short Story 2 summary: After returning home from school, Akiho happily tells Kaito that Tomoyo has promised to teach her all about sewing; noting that she would like to start off making little mascot clothes for Momo and Sakura’s “stuffed animals” (Kero and Spinel) before moving up to making proper clothes. Kaito asks Akiho if they’re for her, but looking lovingly at Kaito she nearly reveals that she wants to make clothes for him but gets embarrassed before saying this. Akiho mentions to Kaito that Momo is the only stuffed animal she’s ever had, having been denied other toys as a child, and Kaito notes that Momo is her special, beloved friend. Akiho leaves the room to make tea and cakes with Kaito, while Momo (whom Akiho is unaware is actually a living person in disguise) wonders when Kaito will realize that he has someone special of his own by his side. Until We Meet Again bonus story summary: After coming home from school, Sakura is delighted to find a letter from Syaoran, and is really happy to use her paper knife (which she bought for opening Syaoran’s letters) to open it with. Back in Hong Kong, Syaoran looks at the sky deeply sad, missing Sakura. Noticing the way he looks, Syaoran’s mother Yelan comments that he has a soulless expression. She tells Syaoran that she will be there for his training session that afternoon. Syaoran feels that he still hasn't trained enough. Yelan tells Syaoran that if there’s something he wants to accomplish, then training his skills is important but he must also face his own heart; pointing out to Syaoran that he only decided to become stronger for the sake of the new owner of the Clow Cards. Syaoran said that he did, and Yelan tells Syaoran to follow the path he chose but at the same time must not take his eyes off his heart, because if he lies to himself he will make the person who loves him so dearly sad. Syaoran agrees, and Yelan promises to see him that afternoon. Alone, Syaoran says (as though to Sakura) that he hopes his letter will make her smile a little; smiling brightly as he says her name. Back in Japan, Sakura finishes reading Syaoran’s long, four-page letter to her. Touched by his words (which are never revealed) Sakura says Syaoran’s name and holds his letter against her chest (with romantic flower imagery in the background). Sakura is then startled by an outburst from Kero, who noted how Toya had just come home and was close to discovering Kero. He asks Sakura if the letter was good and (thinking of the clearly romantic content of the letter) says smiling lovingly that it was. Kero rubs her head, happy for her. Sakura then says she will start writing her response with some new stationary she bought, and says (thinking of Syaoran, with her eyes closed smiling) “Until We Meet Again.” Note: The above story, which came in the form of a booklet, was only released in Japan with a special edition of Clear Card Volume 10. It is notable for being the first story in the franchise to focus on Sakura and Syaoran’s long-distance relationship during the two years they were apart. The special edition also came with a single connected to the story called “Letters between the Stars;” a duet of Syaoran and Sakura reflecting on their love for each other. |||||

| Kaito expresses his admiration for Sakura’s abilities; noting how she was able to use her Siege magic to encase herself before his time magic came into effect, and is the firtt person to ever escape his spell. He reveals to Sakura that he knows about her magic abilities as well as those of Syaoran’s, along with him being the future head of the Li clan. Sakura uses her Transfer card to encase Kaito in the same magical shield she’s in. Despite this, Kaito is able to turn time to before Sakura and Syaoran met up for their date. Sensing something is wrong, Sakura calls Syaoran over to her house and they speak to each other inside the Siege shield. Sakura thinks that they still met up for their date that day, with Sakura remembering her using the Siege card along with the fact that Kaito can use magic. Syaoran reveals to Sakura that he knew this too but couldn’t tell her because of the spell Kaito placed on him. Kero reveals that he, Spinel, Eriol and Yue also knew about Kaito’s magic, but Yue felt it was better not to tell Sakura. Although they feel bad, Sakura knows they were only looking out for her. Syaoran figures out that Kaito can control time with magic. Momo, who is listening to this conversation, sees that Kaito has been caught out. Sakura also suspects that although Syaoran can’t detect any magic inside Akiho, she thinks there’s something inside Akiho as well but doesn’t know what it is. Kero thinks that Sakura’s growing power means she’s the only person who can see it. Spinel, Ruby Moon, Kero and Yue later meet to discuss the situation, such as how they kept the secret of Kaito’s magic from her, and note that Sakura’s decisions are hers to make. Spinel notes that Syaoran thought it would be best if they honored Sakura’s wishes this time. At the school, Naoko asks Sakura and Akiho (after seeing how close they are) if they will appear in the school play she is producing, “The Twin Alices.” Both agree, while Syaoran agrees to participate as well; taking the role of a cat that is plays an integral part in the lives of both Alices. Kaito believes that he will be able to make Sakura produce the magic he needs when the play is performed. Naoko was inspired by a book Akiho owns called “Alice in Clockland,” and Kero reveals to Sakura that it is a powerful spell book. Sakura encounters the hooded figure in her sleep, and suspects that they are Akiho, not Syaoran. Kero and Spinel discuss the powers of Akiho’s book and receive an unexpected guest in the form of Momo, whom Spinel realizes is its guardian. Transforming into her human-like form, Momo prepares to leave them with something; hoping to do so before Kaito discovers their meeting and turns time back once again. Card secured: True or False. Short Story 5 summary: Returning home, Fujitaka finds Nadeshiko cradling their new born daughter Sakura; beaming when he sees their daughter smiling at him. Fujitaka says that he’s sure she loves her mother as well. Stroking Nadeshiko’s face, Fujitaka says that he thought she was an angel from Heaven when she came down from the sky, but worries if she were to go back to where she came from someday and leave him behind. Lost for words at first, Nadeshiko says that its sweet of him and that he means a lot to her as well. She’s certain that Sakura and Toya will someday meet someone they hold dear like they did with each other, and choose the path that brings them happiness with their “special someone” (soulmate) no matter what happens to them in life.

| While still dreaming, Sakura asks the hooded figure if they will meet in the real world, and they reply telling Sakura that when they do it will be “the beginning of the end.” Kaito dreams about Akiho’s mother Lillie; remembering the kindness she showed him together with their shared antipathy towards the groups they belonged to. Kaito was opposed to the Secret Society, telling Lillie how all they care about is extending their influence, while Lillie for her part opposed her clan’s agenda; bringing all of the world’s magic under their command. Kaito also remembers learning of Lillie’s engagement and her happiness at finding love and something that is hers alone. Lillie hoped that Kaito would find something he likes and is his alone, and wished to help him find it. When he awakens, Akiho confides in Kaito about her parents; how they died in an accident protecting her, and how other members of the clan regretted Akiho’s mother and father getting together given that they had a daughter with no magic at all. Kaito listens to all this sadly while reflecting on his regret over the indirect part he played in Akiho being turned into a tool by her clan; telling them that he couldn’t detect any magic in her and that she was like a “blank book.” Kaito believed that by telling them this they would expel Akiho from the clan and let her live a normal life, but they instead saw this as an opportunity to use her for their magical experiments; wreaking havoc on her health in the process. Kaito seeks to make amends to Lillie for what happened to her daughter. At Sakura’s school, the long-awaited play (based on Akiho’s favorite book) takes place, giving Kaito the chance to finally put the final stage of his plan into operation. Sakura plays a girl called Alice, Akiho the Red Queen (a mysterious ruler of a world called Clockland) and Syaoran a cat who guides Alice to this world. Syaoran partly takes the part to keep watch over Sakura. During the performance, Sakura and Akiho disappear through a magical portal on the stage; shocking Syaoran. Aware of what is going on, Yukito uses his newly developed magical ability; casting a night shadow over the school while Toya uses his own newly developed magical ability (which Toya briefly mentioned to Yukito in Volume 2); that of stopping time temporarily. Yukito’s night shadow enables Toya’s magic to last longer, giving Syaoran the chance to enter the portal and find Sakura. Watching the events, Kero accidentally reveals himself and Spinel to Toya, but Spinel realizes that Toya already knows about them. Sakura and Akiho find themselves in a fake world based on Clockland where they believe themselves to be the characters they are portraying. Syaoran realizes that this fake world was created by a powerful magical spell and finds himself moving from platform to platform as the scenery crumbles around him. Sakura encounters various people resembling avatars of the cards she created, while elsewhere Syaoran appears to find Sakura falling and rushes to save her; grabbing her hand. Unlike before, the “no-touch spell” doesn’t shock them both; to Syaoran’s surprise. The figure then reveals herself to be the Mirror card, whom Kaito recently stole from Sakura. In another part of Clockland Sakura comes across a fake Syaoran, who mounts a dragon with Sakura to take her to an unknown location. Cards obtained: Kindness, Choice and Synchronize. |||||

| The fake Syaoran (Kaito in disguise) takes Sakura to the Red Queen’s castle. Yelan reveals to Eriol that she placed the no-touch spell on Syaoran, having had a premonition that a time would come when her son would need to distinguish between a fake Sakura and the real Sakura. Eriol and Yelan are aware that Kaito used Mirror and wonder how he is always one step ahead of them. Kaho suspects that Kaito is able to turn back time so that events transpire in his favor. Yelan and Eriol know that if that’s true then Kaito is reducing his life force by doing this. Yelan wonders what Kaito hopes to accomplish by putting his life at risk. Back in Clockland Syaoran finds himself on the edge of the world with himself and Mirror saved by Flight. Syaoran realizes that the no-touch spell placed on him has been broken, and that the spell was placed on him by his mother. Mirror tells Syaoran that Flight remembered her, adding that Flight loves their master very much and that Flight loves Syaoran too; aware of how much Sakura means to him. Touched at Flight’s awareness of his deep love for Sakura, Syaoran pats Flight gently and thanks it. Mirror apologizes to Syaoran for tricking him into thinking she was Sakura, saying that she let Kaito use her, but Syaoran assures Mirror it wasn’t her fault. Syaoran then realizes he no longer has the Sakura Cards, and Mirror explains that she is the only Sakura Card allowed in Clockland because Kaito brought her there. Sakura meets Akiho (who believes herself to be the Red Queen) and they journey together across various locations, including a library (reflecting Akiho’s love of books). Both gradually remember who they really are, and Sakura’s memories return when Syaoran calls out to Sakura. She tells Syaoran this, who smiles and says to Sakura that to him she will always be Sakura Kinomoto; no one else. Akiho’s memories return upon seeing Kaito (no longer disguised as Syaoran) and faints soon afterwards. Sakura wonders if Akiho would’ve been stuck in Clockland forever if they never got out of the story, and Sakura tearfully wishes she had played the part of the Red Queen. The strength of Sakura’s desire results in her creating a new card; the one that Kaito had been wishing for all this time, and uses its power. The scene changes back to the school, where Sakura is not only playing the Red Queen as she wished, but is now Akiho’s sister. Using the new card, Kaito exchanged his own artifact for the one inside Akiho, with Akiho’s book and all the sorceries transcribed now part of him. He tells Momo that with his own determination, together with the cards Sakura created, he was able to work the forbidden magic of the book of time Momo watches over. He notes that a man can write the events of a person’s life in the book and change them with its forbidden magic. Kaito asked Momo to do this in regards to Sakura and Akiho; record their lives in the book and rewrite them so that they have been twin sisters since birth. Although Momo notes that by rewriting the past one creates paradoxes, she is glad that by doing this the secret society and the clan of sorcerers will no longer pursue Akiho, and that Sakura and her family will keep her safe. However, Momo knows that Kaito can not contain the vast sorceries inscribed upon Akiho’s soul; something which he is aware of. When Kaito was entrusted with the task of escorting “the artifact” (Akiho), a binding spell called the “Seal of D” was placed on him in case he “misused the artifact;” Kaito having agreed to this. Back in the present, the binding spell takes effect on Kaito, who is nevertheless happy that he was able to use his magic on his own accord to help Akiho. Momo cries out in despair as he vanishes. At that moment, back at the school, Sakura senses that something has happened but is unsure what it could be. Card obtained: Exchange. |||||

| In the rewritten world brought about by Kaito’s use of the Exchange Card, Sakura is about to start her second year of Middle School while Akiho is now living with her. Both of them, along with Sakura’s family and their friends, believe that they are twin sisters, with Akiho’s absence explained that for years she was being cared for by Masaki due to her health problems but is now well enough to live with Sakura, Toya and Fujitaka. In addition, no one remembers Kaito. While alone with Syaoran, its revealed that Sakura has the Sakura Cards again, and she tells Syaoran that she hopes to tell Akiho about everything that has happened since she became a Cardcaptor, along with the people she has come to know. Smiling and blushing, Sakura tells Syaoran that she wants to tell Akiho about him as well; about the day he met, how he always comes to her rescue, and how he is “the most important person in her life” (the person she loves the most). The two gently hold hands and touch each other’s foreheads. Sakura hopes that, like her, Akiho also has a partner. At that moment Sakura faints and finds herself in front of the hooded figure from her dreams; revealed to be none other than Akiho’s mother Lilie from when she was a young girl. She explains to Sakura that she is able to see the future, and used her magic to travel to the present day and communicate to Sakura in her dreams. She explains that the reason why Sakura originally saw Syaoran as the hooded figure is because she was afraid, so she replaced Lilie in her mind with the person she loves most. She also reveals to Sakura that her memories have been rewritten. Sakura wakes up, and can’t remember who she spoke to, but knows that she was told something important. Back at her house, Sakura tells Akiho about her adventures (which Akiho is excited to learn about), and notes that there is some important magic she prepared. Remembering the Record card, Sakura activates it. She previously had asked Record to reveal itself only after she called its name, and used it to record her observations of the strange events that had occurred since she started Middle School. Momo, for her part, left a message for Sakura. Unable to reveal Kaito’s name as she is supposed to be neutral, she told Sakura in the message about how “the boy” will soon cast forbidden magic. All of Sakura’s memories, apart from those about Kaito, return. Knowing what has happened, Sakura explains everything to Akiho and all those who know about Sakura’s secret life as a Cardcaptor. She explains that their world has been rewritten but there is someone out there, someone special to Akiho, who is gone from both their world and the Record card’s memories. Sakura thinks that this is not only the person who rewrote the world but was someone Akiho never wanted to lose. Akiho says that she is hurting, as she feels that there is someone out there she is searching for. Nakura excitedly volunteers to help, but Sakura feels that as they are searching for Akiho’s most important person, it would be best if she went with her most important person; Syaoran. Using Flight and Fly (the latter of which Sakura has given to Syaoran), the two of them encounter a sorcerous imitation of the moon. Sakura destroys it with her Sword card; revealing a portal. Sakura and Syaoran enter the portal and find themselves in a world filled with clockwork and come across a dragon. |||||
