6	From the art desk of Clowprincess223 (http://bwillettcomics.com), this doujinshi series was the first this author / artist completed in full and this artist's first doujinshi series. It seems like a stock mahou shoujo / Cardcaptor [[ContinuationFic continuation]] fare, but it [[GrowingTheBeard shows its differences]] after a while. The character interactions are very distinct, as the series is a strange amalgam of the [[{{Macekre}} dub]], the [[SubbingVersusDubbing anime]], and the original manga. If you're familiar with Manga/CardcaptorSakura, you'll recognize a lot of reused plot lines, but with different resolutions and characters filling them, so [[NostalgiaFilter it feels like watching the series unfold all over again]].

8	The series has [[StoryArc three arcs]]:
9	* [[GottaCatchEmAll The Star Cards]]: Torika becomes a cardcaptor and chases around her mother's former Star Cards. Progressively, we [[DebutQueue meet Torika's friends]] and learn that [[MissingMom Sakura is in a coma]] (similar to how Sakura didn't have her own mother around while growing up... [[LighterAndSofter but not really]]).
10	* [[ToBeAMaster The Heart Cards]]: In order to bring Sakura out of her coma, Torika must transform the Star Cards she has captured into Heart Cards.
11	* [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind The Emperor of Nightmares]]: An evil force is stalking Torika's dreams, as well as the dreams of Torika's friends. [[spoiler:On the bright side, Sakura woke up.]]
12	* Stories From the Sakura Book: A bonus prequel that manages to unify the endings of the anime and the manga into a single continuity, before the events of the main series occur.

21	* ArtEvolution: And how! The series basically chronicles the artist getting progressively better and better at drawing.
22	* BabiesEverAfter: One of the main premises of the entire story is that, not only did [[SpinOffspring nearly everybody from Cardcaptor Sakura become a parent]], but their kids are largely dead ringers for their parents.
23	* ButterflyOfDoom: Torika fears cause one of these while attempting to capture the Return Card.
24	* ContinuationFic

30	* PetTheDog: With the literal dog, Tsuki.
