Tom Bombadil 07/09/18 2:47:36 PM #133:	Cardcaptor Sakura, Vol. 1 (of 3) Genre: Mahou shoujo By: CLAMP Whose fault: Tombolo Today's BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksh02YLgh0" data-time=" Goin' kinda far back into the vault for this one, but it's one of the few from back then that I expect to like BETTER now. I have stopped pretending I am above cute girly things. >_> Unless I am mistaken, this was indeed the winner of the Save My I ran with my manga collection here many, many years ago. I should try that again. THIS EDITION COMES WITH A BOOKMARK that I left attached apparently. We get an in media res start, sorta, as Sakura Kinomoto does some magical girl things and catches a monster in a card. I forgot how much I like CLAMP artwork. This is actually a tape that Sakura and her mascot character buddy Cerebrus the Great (...or Kero-chan....hey I get why he dislikes that nickname now!) are reviewing. We have to return the tape to Tomoyo Daidouji, who recorded it, and we're late for school because this is the first installment of a mahou shoujo series. Sakura's in fourth grade, and she has an attractive high school brother Toya, an attractive dad Fujitaka, an attractive dead mom, and a crush on her brother's friend Yukiko Tsukishiro. We actually meet Tomoyo, who appears to be a fangirl in addition to a close friend. Origin story time! Kero-chan pops out of a book in Sakura's dad's library, and introduces himself as a Creature of the Seal. Only somebody with magic can open that book, and it's missing all the cards that are supposed to be inside. The Clow Cards were created by Clow Reed, and are powerful and can come to life and wreak havoc. They also can be summoned once they are turned back into cards, I guess. A contract is formed and Sakura becomes a Card Captor! dun dun dunnnnnnn We have three Clow Cards so far. (we've seen "Windy" used to capture "Jump," and mentioned "Firey." Good names.) Tomoyo is the only person who knows, and she is in charge of making costumes, videotaping everything, being rich, and fangirling. She seems to like Toya. A monster shows up briefly during PE! Nobody else can see it. We come back to the school at night (Tomoyo is dropped off by her troupe of female bodyguards) and confirm that Fly is here. (so is Jump just gonna be never used again after this?) It's strong against the wind element, so trying to catch it with Windy doesn't work out. Different monsters (should I be calling them cards? Clow? IDK) have different personalities- Windy and Wood joined without really fighting, and Jump was too dumb to be much challenge. Fly SHOULD be somewhat cooperative, and if we had more cards we could do divination with them and maybe find out what's up. Also Sakura writes her name on the cards so they'll listen to her even if they aren't in the book. ....actually I'm out of time. I'll hopefully wrap this one up tonight, and then tomorrow is gonna be a day off. --- Look at all those chickens I can be impulsive! I just have to think about it first! <cite>Tom Bombadil posted [p:904768210] in Tom reads ...
