Kodansha to Publish Cardcaptor Sakura: Collector's Edition in 2019

Fantasy manga Cardcaptor Sakura will return to US publication in a new, nine-volume hardcover deluxe edition starting in Spring 2019.

Kodansha Comics revealed the new release of the classic graphic novel series from creators CLAMP, titled Cardcaptor Sakura: Collector's Edition, at their panel at the Anime NYC convention in Manhattan today.

Like previous premium manga re-releases from Kodansha, Cardcaptor Sakura Collector's Edition will feature a newly-revised translation, high-resolution art and lettering, and all the colour pages from the original Japanese run. Each hardcover will also include new cover art by CLAMP and a "clow card." Kodansha teased that readers who collect all nine volumes are in for a 'special treat.'

Kodansha Comics will release the fifth volume of CLAMP's new sequel series Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card, a hit in its own right, on November the 20th.

The publisher also announced a collector's box set of their series about geek girls in Tokyo, Princess Jellyfish. The complete series box set will feature all nine paperback volumes of Akiko Higashimura's series, which was adapted into an anime in 2010 before becoming an English-language translation in 2016. More details will be released soon about the set, out for the holiday season in 2019. Kodansha is also publishing Higashimura's new series Tokyo Tarareba Girls in print, with the fourth volume due out on Dec. 18 and already available digitally.

Also coming in 2019, Kodansha said, are two new manga titles based upon video game franchises: a four-volume adaptation of popular RPG Tales of Berseria, by artist Nobu Aonagi, and a two-volume series based on Type-Moon's popular mobile game Fate/Grand Order, titled Fate/Grand Order -mortalis:stella, by creator Shiramine.
