ending!!
Rating:
5 / 5
The CCS saga ends with this. No magic changing in this volume. Only Sakura struggling with her emotions and Syaoran returning home. That's basically it. The front and back pictures are great. It's better in color though.
working my way through the series...
Rating:
5 / 5
In this book, several characters are leaving. Eriol is going back to England, and Syaoran Li is going back to Hong Kong. Sakura finally has to decide what she really feels for Li. As usual, the most interesting thing about this series is the relationships - if the series were just about capturing cards, I would have stopped reading a long time ago. I loved this volume, because reading about Sakura as she works through her feelings was very interesting. The artwork is still beautiful, and I definitely recommend this book. I think it would probably be best to read this volume after reading at least some of the previous volumes. There is a "the story thus far" section, as well as some information about each of the main characters, but you might still miss out on the emotional impact of this book if you begin with it.
For Younger Manga Readers Only...
Rating:
4 / 5
The Cardcaptor Sakura series is definitely for younger readers only. The whole concept of the series is about a magical girl (Sakura) who spends her time catching cards.
This is the final installment, which is very similar from the Cardcaptor Sakura anime, however the ending is quite different.
The "Original Manga" style means you read it backwards (right to left) which could be challenging for some kids to read like that.
The whole book, in a nutshell, is really, for kids aged 7-11 who are reading manga for the first time.
If your over 13 this book may not be for you. However if you like or obsessed with mangas with fairtale endings, you could buy this book. It takes around 5-15 minutes to read, cute it may be, it's not that much as a thriller, as it is predictable.
If you're 13+ I suggest reading All-New Tenchi Muyo: Alien Nation. It may have a "darker" plot, it seems more "teenage" reading on the whole.
The CCS manga contains nothing seriously explicit, meaning it's suitable for all ages. Why the anime DVDs are rated PG-13, I don't know.
If your 7-9 you'll love it. If you're 9-10 you'll find it mediocre. if you're 11+, this might be a bit of a bore. If you're anime-crazed with cutesy talking bears (Kero) or a girl in pink dresses (Sakura), you might be able to "enjoy" this book. But it's totally you're call.
