CARDCAPTOR SAKURA

Cardcaptor Sakura often abbreviated as CCS, is a magical girl manga series from the well-known all-female artist team CLAMP. Cardcaptor Sakura is published in Japan by Kodansha and was previously serialized in Nakayoshi. The series consists of twelve volumes.
The anime television series (1998-2000) based on the manga consists of 70 half-hour episodes (spread over three seasons), two theatrically released movies, and several specials. Nelvana produced an English dub of the anime series, titled Cardcaptors, which aired in English-speaking countries.[1] An unedited English translation, entitled Cardcaptor Sakura, was broadcast in its English-language networks by the anime television network Animax. Cardcaptor Sakura has also been released in English-speaking countries in an unedited and subtitled DVD under its original title.
As the series progresses, there is a pattern of foreshadowing and dreams that lead to an unusual conclusion. Like Magic Knight Rayearth, one of CLAMP's previous works, Cardcaptor Sakura is a new twist on an old genre.
Due in part to its animation and characterization, Cardcaptor Sakura has a wide fanbase on the Internet, particularly in the categories of yaoi, shōjo, yuri, and moé.
Most of the characters in Cardcaptor Sakura also appear in one of CLAMP's later manga series, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
