Review: The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects

Pow! Clamp! Cardcaptor Sakura Gets Omnibus
Many of my pre-teen mornings and afternoons were spent glued to the television, obsessed with episodes of Pokemon, Digimon, and Sailor Moon. One of my favorites on Kids WB was the anime show Cardcaptors. Years later I discovered the manga the show was based on, but after a few volumes my interested dwindled. At ten or fifteen bucks a pop, the books weren’t worth repeat trips to the bookstore.
Now I can’t help but giggle like a school girl over pancakes because Dark Horse has some fantastic news: Hot from the printer is the manga’s first volume omnibus.
Black and white and tallying 500+ pages, the omnibus is a steal at $20 (basically the cost of two regular volumes).
Fourth grader Sakura Kinomoto finds a strange book in her father’s library — a book made by the wizard Clow to store dangerous spirits sealed within a set of magical cards. But when Sakura opens it up, there is nothing left inside but Kero-chan, the book’s cute little guardian beast . . . who informs Sakura that since the Clow cards seem to have escaped while he was asleep, it’s now her job to capture them!
