The Collector’s Edition has a really cute cover and comes with a “Clow card” of one of the characters. I was a fan of the anime series growing up, but I did not read the manga. CLAMP’s art style and design are iconic though. I think they cleaned up the series to make it more palatable to kids back then, so reading the manga was surprising with the allusions to same-sex relationships. The only thing I didn’t enjoy with the source material is how they approached the age gaps in relationships.

This was a solid first volume! Sakura is an endearing character and her interactions with Touya are funny and heartwarming. I recommend this if you want a lighthearted series and a lovable heroine.

Hermoso volver a una de las cosas más lindas que marcaron mi infancia.
La edición de lujo con esos detalles dorados es una belleza y los dibujos dentro son preciosos, la presentación de los personajes y la cantidad de ilustraciones de flores y diseños que les dan un toque adorable y particular de la estética tan reconocida de Sakura.
El toque se lo da la traducción, aunque en general es tal cual con lo que se pudo ver en el anime, Kero tiene unas frases que lo "aporteñan" (quiero decir que son muy propias del vocabulario argentino), así que lo imagine toda la lectura con ese acento.
Tuve momentos de risa y mucha alegría leyéndolo.
Cortito y entretenido, super recomendable.
