Cardcaptor Sakura Collector's Edition #5

Two figures in matching dark performance costumes trimmed with white frills and red ribbon lacing — one taller, one smaller and beaming — share the spotlight against a festive red-curtain backdrop scattered with gold stars and streaming confetti banners. CLAMP's artwork gives the scene an unmistakable carnival-stage warmth, framing Sakura and her companion in the ornate gilded card border that makes this Collector's Edition format so appealing. Volume 5 of Kodansha's oversized 2020 edition is a lovely way to experience this beloved series in a presentation that does full justice to the art.
