The official Twitter account for creative circle CLAMP announced on Thursday that the Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card manga’s last volume has once again been revised, with the manga now getting a 16th compiled book volume on April 1, 2024, which will now be the final volume. The 15th volume, which was previously set as the final volume, will ship on November 13.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga digitally and in print in English, and it released the 13th volume on April 25. The company describes the series:
Guided by the Key of Dreams, Sakura embarks on a new adventure! With over 15 million copies in print in Japan alone, plus translations in over a dozen languages, the original Cardcaptor Sakura is an international phenomenon you can’t miss! And now, the long-awaited new chapter begins! It is spring, with cherry trees in full blossom, and Sakura is just entering middle school. Her beloved Syaoran has returned from Hong Kong, and life couldn’t be better. But when she awakens from a strange dream to find her Sakura Cards powerless, how can she protect Tomoeda from disaster?!
CLAMP launched the sequel manga in Kodansha‘s Nakayoshi magazine in June 2016. Kodansha published the 14th volume on March 31. A special version of the volume bundles three acrylic stands.
The manga inspired a television anime that aired from January-June 2018 for 22 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and Funimation streamed an English dub. Funimation released the anime on home video in 2019 and 2020. The anime has a planned sequel.
A Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen Happiness Memories smartphone game launched in October 2019 and it ended service in June 2020.
