Clear Card volume 15 begins in a rewritten world, making it a continuation for readers who know what has been displaced. Sakura and Akiho appear happy, but someone important is absent. That premise depends on comparison with the life established earlier in the run. Buy it after the preceding books, with the conclusion still ahead; an apparently comfortable new situation is a particularly poor reason to treat this as a fresh beginning.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The rewritten reality turns happiness into an unreliable measure of whether things are right. Sakura and Akiho can seem content while a missing person makes the arrangement unacceptable. Lilie's appearance supplies the challenge to that apparent normality, and Sakura's scattered memories become necessary to restoring her world. The buying case is therefore reconstruction rather than another capture: the reader needs enough of the earlier life to recognize what this one lacks. That is also why the premise should not be sold as a convenient reset. Forgetting the preceding story is part of the problem this book asks Sakura to overcome.
