Overview

Cardcaptor Sakura follows the story of Sakura Kinomoto, your average fourth-grader, after she opens a mysterious book she finds in her father's storage titled The Clow and accidentally releases all the Clow Cards inside to run amok in the district of Tomoeda. Also released is the sleeping guardian of the cards, Keroberos (fondly nicknamed "Kero-chan"), who explains to Sakura what exactly the Clow Cards are and, more importantly, what is now expected of her as the next cardcaptor. She is reluctant to accept her new role but, pressed by the magical being, she gives in. She is given a magical key (the very key she used to open The Clow) which, when activated, turns into a wand that gives her the power to capture and use the Clow Cards.
