Card Captor Sakura — Clear Card Arc

French edition published by Pika Édition, written and illustrated by the CLAMP collective.

This volume deepens the introspective side of Clear Card Arc: the more cards Sakura captures, the more she finds herself confronting buried memories and questions she'd never had to ask herself about the true origin of her magic. The capture scenes, still just as visually spectacular, take on an almost dreamlike quality.

Kaito reveals a little more of his ambiguous, potentially dangerous plan, while Akiho grows sincerely closer to Sakura, to the point of having to choose between her original loyalty and a budding friendship that seems to overwhelm her. Shaoran, for his part, protects Sakura with touching discretion, revealing hints of what his magical feather truly represents.

CLAMP delivers some of the arc's most anticipated revelations here, while keeping enough mystery alive to keep readers hooked.
