カードキャプターさくら / Cardcaptor Sakura Series by CLAMP

From Clamp comes the thrilling adventures of Sakura, a fourth-grader who accidentally finds an enchanted book called The Clow. The book once contained a set of magical Clow Cards, but they all escaped while the guardian of the book fell asleep. Now, Sakura is thrust into a mystical journey to capture all the cards before they wreak chaos and destruction!

Sakura Kinomoto seems like your average fourth grader--loves P.E., hates math--but there's something about her that's not so normal... she can use magic! As the Cardcaptor, it is Sakura's job to use her powers to track down the missing Clow Cards before disaster befalls the Earth. But there's a new boy in town, Syaoran Li, who claims that the cards are his birthright. According to the Covenant, there can only be one Cardcaptor--did Kero-chan pick the wrong person?

When missing Clow Cards begin turning up alarmingly close to Sakura's home, catching the cards isn't just a matter of responsibility--it's a matter of protecting the ones she loves! Meanwhile, the new teacher at school has taken a particular interest in Sakura and her friends. Could she be looking for the Clow Cards too?

Fourth grader Sakura Kinomoto finds a strange book in her father's library--a book made by the wizard Clow to store dangerous spirits sealed within a set of magical cards. But when Sakura opens it up, there is nothing left inside but Kero-chan, the book's cute little guardian beast . . . who informs Sakura that since the Clow cards seem to have escaped while he was asleep, it's now her job to capture them!

Tests of CourageThe school field trip is the perfect getaway for Sakura. She loves the sea, making dinner with her friends, having no homework, telling ghost stories—and best of all, no worrying about Clow Cards! It's all a blast... until the students start disappearing, one by one! Sakura and company have fallen into a Clow Card trap! Can she defeat the unknown card to get her friends back?!

The Show Must Go On!It's time for the school talent show and Sakura's class is putting on Sleeping Beauty. Sakura is cast as the prince and you won't believe who the princess is! All seems to be going well with the performance until a Clow Card makes an unexpected entrance between acts! Can our prince break the spell, capture the card and save the day?

The Final JudgmentSakura has collected all of the Clow Cards, but her quest is not over yet. Unless she can pass the final trial, the cards will unleash a terrible curse. Yue, the Judge, doesn't think she has what it takes to become master of the cards. With everything she's ever held dear on the line, Sakura needs to give the performance of her lifetime.

The beautiful new teacher in Sakura's class, Kaho Mizuki, soon reveals that she's a shrine maiden with magic powers of her own. But as always, the struggle to capture the Clow cards is woven together with the mysterious -- and complicated -- threads of love and affection between Sakura and all the people in her life. Will her heart be strong enough as she faces the one who will judge her worthiness to master the cards at last?
