Clear Card volume 12 brings Sakura and Akiho toward a shared school performance, with trust between them still unsettled. Kaito's control over time creates a reason to doubt what Akiho knows, but Sakura is reluctant to force an answer. Continue here if their friendship is the reason you are following the mystery. The school setting gives them something to do together while the questions surrounding Kaito remain difficult to separate from that friendship.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The introduction of Sakura and Akiho as the play's two leads matters beyond the casting itself: the following stretch takes the performance into Alice in Clockland. Here the useful emphasis is the decision to wait. Sakura does not know whether Akiho understands Kaito's schemes, yet chooses to let her friend speak when she is ready. Waiting can preserve a relationship while leaving a practical danger unresolved. Buy this as the setup for the play and for that conflict between suspicion and patience; the shared leading roles do not make the girls equally informed.
