Really love this volume because I'm a fan of Syaoran's antics, and you begin to get a bit more lore behind the history and background of Clow's history in making the CLOW cards.

The reason I knocked this volume down a peg is because CLAMP went the route of writing in a sub-plot relationship between a fourth grader and her adult teacher.
He even gifts her a promise / engagement ring.
So it's made very clear that the feelings are reciprocated by him.

We also get additional background on Sakura's parents and their age gap which just continues this whole normalization of adult men in their 20's marrying, or having relationships with, girls who are 10 years their junior. I have no idea what the laws in Japan were / are at that time regarding legal ages of consent. So I'll just say that 90's shoujo manga tropes don't age well in the current landscape.

Bon, il y a eu plusieurs aspects étranges qui m’ont dérangé.

On y apprend que la mère de Sakura (16 ans) a épousé son professeur (25 ans). Le mariage est légal au Japon dès 16 ans avec l’accord des familles.

La meilleure amie de Sakura semble amoureuse d’elle (du moins les indices le laissent penser), mais on apprend qu’elles sont cousines.

Une élève de la classe de Sakura (10 ans) se fait offrir une bague par leur enseignant (?!) en lui disant de la garder jusqu’au fiançaille.

Like the first book I loved this book. It happens so many things that we can not stop reading until you finish the book.

Una de las diferencias más grandes entre el anime y el manga es que la trama del manga es mucho más directa, no da tantas vueltas sino que muestra justo lo necesario. Está menos enfocado en atrapar las cartas y más en los dramas ocurriendo entre los personajes.

Sin embargo, estoy molesta porque este manga es tan lindo pero tiene unas cosas que simplemente no puedo soportar:

-Me sentí incómoda debido a la relación entre Rika y el profesor Terada. Yo sé que la edad de consentimiento en Japón es 13 años pero Rika debe tener la edad de Sakura (10 años) y ese profesor no puede tener menos de 25 años. Aunque este tipo de relación es bastante común en esta serie (ej. los padres de Sakura, la relación de Touya y Kaho Mizuki) todavía me perturba mucho leerla.

-Aparece Syaoran y me cae tan mal como me cayĂł en sus primeras apariciones en el anime. TodavĂ­a me parece muy acosador y arrogante.

-Adoro a Tomoyo, pero eso de que tenga un enamoramiento con Toya y Sakura (que son sus primos) me parece demasiado raro.

Humor, fluff and friendship. I love the genuineness of the story, the sheer positive and the unbiased and free nature of the characters. In small and subtle, as well as some pointedly obvious ways, there is beautiful queer representation. Love without jealousy, crushes with some healthy competition, wonderful family bonding and a whole lot of cuteness.
