Card Captor Sakura Summaries
The following is the summary of the first Card Captor Sakura Tankoban (which covers issues 1-5)
On the first page we are introduced to Sakura, who is in the process of capturing a card. ("The Windy" I believe...) Kero-chan has actually been watching a video tape made by Tomoyo of Sakura's card capturing adventures. Sakura watches the tape for a bit before she realizes she is late for school. Running down stairs, she eats breakfast with Touya and her father. Sakura rushes out the door to meet her brother, cause she knows that he and Yukito will be riding to school together.
At school, in a flashback the story of how Sakura became the Card Captor is explained. It is also revealed that Tomoyo loves recording Sakura adventures and designing clothes for her. During Gym, Sakura vaults the pompelhorse. A fence divides the boys Gym class from the girls Gym class. Touya and Yukito are on the other side on the fence playing soccer with their Gym class. Tomoyo signs about how cool Touya looks playing soccer. Sakura sees Yukito and calles out to him, upon hearing his name, Yukito turns around smiling hugely calling out Sakura name. He tripps on a rock however and falls on his face! Touya rushes over to see if Yukito is Okay, when he realizes that Yukito was rushing over to see Sakura he can't resist teasing them both.
That night Sakura thinks happily of Yukito, but dreams of the cards. During breakfast the next morning has her and Touya are leaving the house, Sakura realizes that she has left her rollerblades at school. Therefor she has no way to get to school. Touya offers her a ride which makes Sakura ask where Yukito is. Touya tells her that Yukito is at Archery practice this morning. At archery practice Yukito is doing great and looking darn cool!
Suddenly a terrifying wind surrounds them and Yukito and Touya rush to protect Sakura. Later that day Sakura sets out to capture the trouble causing card. Sakura captures the card and gains "The Fly"
At school Sakura and her friends dicusse monsters in the pool. Later at the pool one of Sakura friends is dragged under water by one of the Cards. Sakura try to save her but is pulled down instead. The lifeguard saves Sakura.
Back at home sakura makes pancakes which Touya promently munches down, Sakura flipps out untill she realizes Yukito is standing right there, with hearts in her eyes Sakura promises to make them both pancakes. Sakura brings up the pancakes and is rewarded by the big smile on Yukito's face.
The next day Sakura attends cheerleading practice although she does her best to concentrate her thoughts quickly turns to "The Clow" cards. Suddenly Sakura hears a voice calling her name, it is Yukito waving her to his side. Since she is with Yukito the conversation quickly turns to food (eating is one of Yukito's favorite pasttimes...)
That night Sakura battles and manages to capture "The Watery" While the next day at school one of Sakura's friends tells a story of seeing a water monster at the lake. During cheeleading practice that day one Sakura's same friend throws her pompom up into a tree! Sakura of course offers to go and retrieve it by using "The Jump" card. While Sakura and her friends are walking home from practice they pass the lake with the "monster" in it. As she passes it Sakura quickly realizes that the "monster" is actually one of her escaped cards...
Sakura, Yuktio, Tomoyo and Touya all go to the county fair! Tomoyo can't resist a loving gaze at Touys, who does look pretty darn cute in his kimono! In fact they all look very nice, and very traditional. Once again though the conversation between Sakura and Yukito turns to food...
That night Sakura heads off to battle the card that had been causing so much trouble that day. Dressed in another one of Tomoyo's outageous and super kawaii outfits Sakura faces the card. Only... it looks exactly like Sakura's dead mother! Over come by joy Sakura forgets the fact that she has been lured under water and throws herself into her "mother's" arms... She slowly loses consciousness and Tomoyo prepares to jump in after Sakura. It is not neccessary though as Yukito dives in before her and pulls Sakura out of the water.
When Sakura wakes up she is in bed... in Yukito's house (as is my understanding) She seems to be a bit freaked but is far too exhausted to argue the point. As she falls asleep once again Yukito touches her forhead lightly and smiles gently. Touya soon arrives to pick Sakura up and carries her on his back as she sleeps. Yukito continues to run Sakura's head affectionately.
Once Sakura has recovered she explains to Tomoyo why she behaves that way she did. She shows Tomoyo a picture of her dead mother and tells her that the card they are hunting looks just like her. Sakura wonders if her mother is an angel now and is trying to protect her. Sakura dresses up in her card capturing gear and head out that night to battle the card. The card (who really does look exactly like Kinomoto-san...) tries to drown Sakura as they fight. Sakura overcomes the card as she thinks of Yukito and traps it. Sakura now has possession of "The Illusion". The next morning back at home Sakura admires one of the pictures of her once young and beautiful mother...
