With over 15 million copies in print in Japan alone, plus translations in over a dozen languages, the original Cardcaptor Sakura is an international phenomenon you can't miss! And now, the long-awaited new chapter begins!
The Amazon page lists Kodansha Comics as the publisher, and also lists that Kodansha Comics will release the first volume in print on November 14. Kodansha Comics didn't respond to ANN's request for confirmation on the listing by press time.
