I dunno if I'm ready for this one or not. Last one kinda damaged my opinion of the series. :\

Sakura comes home while Yukito-sannnnn is giving Toya a haircut, and excitedly accepts the offer to get one as well. The creepy lady from the end of last issue is still around. A haircut from Yukito? This calls for a BADMINTON DUEL with Li, which goes to a time limit draw. Tomoyo wants to cut Sakura's hair next time. Sakura has been spotted running into stuff and knocking it over, even though she has an alibi. We now have enough Clow Cards to do some fortune telling, so we divine that the remaining cards are aware of Sakura and are going to respond in various fashions. Specifically, this "other Sakura" is targeting Toya.

Sakura is trying to find Toyo and the card of the week, but there's a lot going on in this park or something. Luckily we bump into Li who is previously established as having a kinda Clow Card Radar with some fancy Chinese name. Sakura Alter lures Toya into the forest and off a cliff. He actually knows it's not Sakura but wants to help anyway. He passes out right before Sakura and Li show up. This is apparently a special card- you have to reveal its identity instead of beating it up or befriending it. It's Mirror, who apologizes before shwooping back into a card.

We go over to Tomoyo's place, which apparently has not happened before somehow. She has a wall-sized TV to watch her recordings of Sakura's heroic exploits. This is crossing into stalker territory even if you aren't fazed by the distant cousins thing! Random observation: Yukito and Sakura's dad look pretty similar. Might be limitations of the artstyle, might be FORESHADOWING. Anyway, the point of having Sakura over (Sonomi is a fan) was that there's a treasure box that Tomoyo can't open because of what turns out to be Shield. It succumbs after being whacked by Sword. (nobody said it was a particularly GOOD Shield, I guess) Inside the box is Nadeshiko's wedding bouquet! is anybody besides Sakura NOT a giant creeper Also, the eraser Sakura gave Tomoyo when they met.

Rumor of the day: you can get love charms at the shrine. Sakura is all about that life, but bumps into the lady, who says she won't be able to get what she wanted today. And lo, the shrine was closed. Also the math teacher went on leave, so the lady is subbing for him. Her name is Maho Mizkui. Only took 90% of a volume to get a name! Li senses great power from her, but everybody else just calls her pretty a lot. She and Toya seem to know each other.

Random observation: Yukito and Toya bring each other food a lot. Or maybe it's just Yukito. Hm. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Li try the shrine again...NOW THERE'S A MAZE OH NO

My rating: 8/10
There's less creep in this one I guess, and some good character moments for Toya.

Overall rating: 8/10
This is a series I could really see myself going for pretty hard, but the age gaps and incest are preeeeetty offputting. I'll reserve firm judgment until I've seen more...but unfortunately that may or may not ever happen.

Discussion question: Incest?
Hint for next: One volume prevails.
