Cardcaptor Sakura

Editions and box sets

Check the named run as well as the book number; these collections can cover different parts of the story. Each edition has a page listing every book in it, with its ISBN and release date.

Which edition to buy

The original story is collected in nine Kodansha Collector’s Edition hardcovers. Clear Card is the sequel, tracked separately as 16 paperbacks; its Vol. 1 follows this story rather than replacing Collector’s Edition 1. This catalog covers the Kodansha print editions. Match the full edition name when comparing a used copy with these ISBNs. An original-series hardcover and a sequel paperback with the same number do not fill the same gap.

Compare the first numbered book in each edition below. A later box set is not a starting point for the story. List prices are publisher prices in US dollars, not current shop offers.
