"Coming up on June 3rd, the July issue of Nakayoshi kicks the celebration of the 20th anniversary of CLAMP's Cardcaptor Sakura magic girl series to another level with a new manga that reintroduces Sakura Kinomoto in her first year of junior high school.

An early look at future plans reveal that a new anime project is also in development.

Details will be announced later."

What's your opinion?

Cardcaptor Sakura was already finished and it had a great ending, I don't know what's the point of a new manga. They could have made a new anime more faithful to the original manga.

On the one hand, new Cardcaptor Sakura!
On the other hand, there's so much potential for awfulness!
I wonder if Sakura's old brother will remain closeted in the English version (if he's around at all any more) or if there will be references to the other two manga. I think one had something to do with an alternate reality version of Sakura who was a princess or something and lost her memories and the other one was some grouchy middle school (or maybe) student who helps out this witch lady.

To be honest, those other two manga are so confusing (to me, at least) that I'm surprised I remember anything. I mean, I get confused when reading manga often, but these two had me constantly questioning what the heck was happening.

So yeah, hope they don't fall into the common traps that bad reboots get stuck in, because that was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

Joy……but I'm a little weary, considering Sakura ended pretty well.

Still, this is not like DBZ were they have done it all and now they're just scrapping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. Sakura can still deliver something new since her lore is more open to new things, kinda of like how Digimon was able to stay relevant through years at having each season be separate of canon between each other.

Here it is, nerds!

So, what do you guys think?

OK, it looks better than I expected tbh. I really want to know what these transparent cards are. Also, I'm glad the secondary characters are back, looking forward to Yamazaki lies. Tomoyo is the same as always and the first chapter kinda felt like the first chapter from the original manga. I hope CLAMP don't fuck up with this one because it really looks great.
