Cardcaptor Sakura is a shojo manga series by the artist team CLAMP. Sakura Kinomoto is an ordinary grade school student until she opens a strange book and accidentally releases the ancient, magical Clow cards, and is told by the cards guardian, Cerberus, that she has to recapture all of the cards or something terrible will happen. Sakura pursues the cards with the help of Cerberus, nicknamed "Kero-chan", and her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji. To succeed she must locate and master the cards while competing with Syaoran Li, a descendent of Clow Reed, the wizard who created the cards.
The manga was adapted into an anime series of the same name, there was also a dub called Cardcaptors, though several elements (like references to homosexuality) were removed in order for it to be aimed at a general market. The dub was poorly distributed in the USA, but elsewhere distributed more or less in a proper form. It is presumed the poor distribution is due to Warner's handling of the anime, and then later Disney's handling of the anime when it was shown for the second time in the UK.
