Clamp's "Card Captor Sakura 1" (manga), #126

[katikat]

What a cute manga! Sure, it's rather silly in places (especially the card catching part) and the heroine is just a ten-year-old girl, but it's a classic! I love Sakura and her family, the way Toya (her older brother) teases her and calls her a "Godzilla" just to annoy her - on the other hand, when Sakura's in danger, he gets fiercely protective and that's just awesome! The most interesting part for me, though, is the relationship between Toya and his best friend Yukito.

The style is also gorgeous - it's classic Clamp, before the mangakas modernized their style. And their chibis are especially hilarious. Chibi!Toya looks like an angry cat :)

It's such an adorable series! I had to go back and watch the Japanese anime to it since America cut out a lot of things. T-T But it's so wonderful~

I love this series - especially because of Toya and Yukito. I mean, their love and affection for each other goes so deep!
