Sakura Manga

[Griselda Humbarger]

CardcaptorSakura is one of the most beautiful and adorable manga series ever created and this project is my ode to the wonderful series. CCS was written and illustrated by the manga artist group CLAMP between 1996 and 2000, but is still extremely popular today. This visualization brings together several different aspects of the series; the main characters, the chapters, relationships and the wonderful cover art of each of the 50 chapters. By visually connecting these different aspects of Cardcaptor Sakura, fans can get a more nuanced understanding of the events that happen throughout the series.

For our month of fun I wanted to do something about Cardcaptor Sakura, my favorite manga during my teens. Because the series features so many beautiful drawings, incorporating the visual part of the manga into the project seemed like a good starting point. I therefore wrote a script in R that analyzed the cover art of all 50 chapters to get their main colors.

Pigma ink is permanent, waterproof, chemical proof, and fade resistant on paper. From all-in-one beginner kits like the Pigma Sensei to professional pens like Manga-Comic Pro and Pigma Professional brushes, archival Pigma ink has been trusted by manga and comic artists for over 25 years.

Visit any library, bookstore, or media retailer and you will see that superhero comics and manga (Japanese comic illustration) have captured hearts and imaginations everywhere. Preferred by illustrators around the world, Sakura offers a full selection of illustration tools for recreating your favorite animated characters or inventing new heroes of your own. Sets feature a pencil and assorted Pigma Micron, Graphic, and Brush pens.

In this post I will present every appearance of Sakura Haruno in the canon manga of Naruto written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. This post is not directed towards Sakura Haruno in a harmful or disrespectful way. This post is for information purposes only. I give my permission to use or share this list if you may consider it opportune.

I will not count the anime in this list because I consider it over exaggerated and beyond biased. The fillers take advantage of certain characters, especially female, for profitable purposes and are, on occasions, rude. I also want to share that I do not support the anime or the work of Studio Pierrot in regards to Naruto. You can find the stats of the other kunoichis here. Please read the information about the stats in the masterpost before checking them.

DISCLAIMER: I would like to share that Sakura is my favorite character. Therefore, this publication will contain more information than the other kunoichis, not only for that matter but also because she is in more chapters and her story covers more aspects of her life. In addition, she is the most hated character and I want to point out everything, bad or good, about her personality.

The chapters in italics are repetitive. All of them, except chapter 68, reference chapter 183 when Naruto promised he would rescue Sasuke. Taking these chapters into the result would be 12.04%.

3. Chapter 56. Sakura being able to stop Sasuke, who was under the influence of the curse mark, with her feelings of love alone. Another moment where she was the bravest person in the world.

5. Chapter 129. Sakura willing to fight Gaara is another moment of bravery. That moment also meant a lot for Gaara since he saw Sakura as an embodiment for love, which later led him to consider her as his pillars and closes allies.

28. Chapter 632. The Hall of Fame. If you asked me my favorite Sakura Haruno manga panel ever it would be this one. This panel tops everything else. Finally completing the Strength of a Hundred seal, the most difficult sealing jutsu to be mastered. The Byakugō fits her color scheme and her forehead so well it was made for her.

30. Chapter 650. One of my favorite panels ever too. Tsunade and Sakura, master and student, mother and daughter. Also, that partial release of the seal is my favorite too I wish to see more of it, looks dope.

While I was browsing for different anime in different genre, I came across with Yuri genre and then found a list where anime that contain yuri genre. I was shocked to see Cardcaptor Sakura on the list as anime with yuri as an additional element. I have watched Cardcaptor Sakura a lot of times but I haven't read it's manga. The only thing that comes on mind that could be the yuri element was Sakura and Tomoyo's relationship as best friends (and their mothers'). If I'm not mistaken, since I've watched Cardcaptor Sakura a lot of times when I was still a kid, there were no solid implications that Tomoyo had romantic feelings towards Sakura, meaning you can only sense friendship in their relationship (or it was something I overlooked or I didn't give deep meaning to it). Though, I'm not really sure in the manga since I've never read it. So, is there any truth to this and if it has (in anime or manga), please show reference to justify it (in any episode or chapter).

Tomoyo Daidouji in Card Captor Sakura, though it was toned down a bit in the anime. The manga actually had her telling Sakura that she loves her in that way, though it went right over the heroine's head.

So it seems that it's toned down in the anime (I didn't seem like anything other than best friends and maybe borderline infatuation in the anime), but blatant in the manga. Also noted in the CSS wiki:

I also would say yes, but I am digging this out of the past to add some insight that it is portrayed (especially in the manga) as being a far more complex emotion than a typical "in love with" scenario.

One of the predominant themes of Clamp's works is that love has many different forms and is not limited to typical boundaries. Reflect on how many other extra-ordinary relationships and love-type affections exist in the story: Rika x her sensei (age), Touya and Yuki (gender), Mizuki x Eriol (age), Sonomi x Nadeshiko (gender, family), Fujitaka x Nadeshiko (age), Mei-lin x Syaoran (family)...

It is apparent that all have some rather extraordinary love stories, and explore some pretty deep topics on the nature of love and the spectrum of its manifestations. Furthermore, if you look into historic Japanese literature, the theme of different kinds of love has deep roots in the cultural literature - consider Samurai/battlefield love, for example.

I would not categorize Tomoyo as a typical yuri girl, however, as was said above. Are her feelings romantic for Sakura? Certainly. Do her love feelings also incorporate strong elements of hero admiration, deep friendship, and a family bond? Absolutely. Are we given the impression that there is an element of sexual attraction? Not really. We don't see her blushing when Sakura is changing in front of her, long lingering touches, or heart pounding with physical proximity - like we do see with several other love attractions within the same series.

Granted, at their age, sexuality might be barely nascent. But typical "yuri girls" are almost invariably associated with sexual attraction regardless of age, frequently exhibiting signs of physical attraction, or even overt sexual overtures of one type or another. Is it within the yuri spectrum? I would say yes, but it's not what I would consider typical.

Also note that Tomoyo's mother Sonomi had a very similar adoration for her own cousin Nadeshiko (although hers was to the point of extreme jealousy!) and then quite obviously eventually did have a sexual relationship with Tomoyo's father (whom we never see). It is not all that uncommon for an early "crush" of a later-heterosexual female to be another female, while they are figuring out how to process these budding complex emotions.

I can't remember what episode of the anime it was but it was toward the end of the Clow Card saga. I remember it was when Sakura and Li was over at Tomoyo's house. Sakura was in the bathroom changing into one of Tomoyo's latest costumes. While Li was shyly looking towards the area where Sakura was, Tomoyo said something to li. Then, while looking into her cup she said something on the lines of, "It's better to keep some things in the heart."

At the teddy bear shop with Eriol and Li, Tomoyo told Sakura that all she wants is for the person she loves to be happy, so the person she loves doesn't have to love her back. Sakura told her that she was sure Tomoyo's beloved was very happy.

Yes, Tomoyo loves Sakura. She said it herself. She had costumes made for Sakura, filmed Sakura constantly (not just during showdowns, but also a ton of casual moments where Sakura was just talking to Tomoyo), and was always by her side. I think it proves a point that she didn't need to film her, dress her up, and tag along everywhere Sakura went, to show her love/infatuation for her - but she did.
