I heard about TRC through ny contacts with certain CCS forums and boards when it came out in Japan and knew it was only a matter of time before it made its way to the States. Now that it's out, I've enjoyed it...issue #2 to me the best of the series so far. The thing that hurts is the year's lag time between translations of the Japanese-to-English.

I discovered it while surfing the net. I was probably the first one to discover it among my friends.

99% of the female population all think that Syaoran is the hottest bishie ever in both TRC & CCS. 1% is me! XD If you're one of the 1% who isn't so possesive over Syaoran, and wants him to be with Sakura only, copy and paste this into your sig.

I was just surfing the net for Cardcaptor Sakura  S+S, when I read about how they were back and better than ever! I clicked on a link, read the storyline, and I've been hooked ever since! Haven't been able to buy more than four volumes though.  :inlove:

Actually TRC was my sister's discovery.  She was at the airport in Atlanta on her way back to Panama, and she went to a store, checking out books, and then she sees a whole section of manga (immediately she was "summoned" to it).  While perusing the titles she saw the cover of a manga featuring Sakura and Syaoran, and she bought it as a gift for me.  Ever since we've been buying the graphic novels.  We haven't even read scans or anything not to spoil, so I'm walking in this forum with one eye open and one eye closed LOL.  Like two days after I read vol. 1 a friend of mine who also is into manga told me that she was checking some titles on amazon and that she saw TRC, so I told her that I already had book 1.  Now she is buying xxxHolic and I buy TRC, and we exchange the stories (my sister is buying Imadoki, by Yuu Watase among others, so we 3 try to keep very updated in the stories..) and that way is not that expensive for everybody.

hoe i discovered trc?
well, it was from ccs website- and i thought she was kidding when she said, there was going to be a manga on s and s (as she said there was going to be a season 4 of ccs- so i didnt believe her) till going thru a few sites i saw that they too had posted the name TRC up so i started to believe0 but info was limited so i didnt know what it was going to be abt. then i kinda forgot abt it!! :sweatdrop:

but when i went to hk last summer- i was rumaging everywhere for VCD/DVD of card captor sakura - i was 4 yrs too late so i thought all hope was lost!! :(- but i eventualy found them- all happy i was pratically skipping out the shop when i saw a manga shop and saw a picture of someone that looked like sakura- but older!! and then i realised that the name xiao long, was on the cover- i was like this is weird!- then i forgot abt it again-  :sweatdrop: my parents were telling me to go- i dragged them everywhere- on all the highstreets looking for the VCD- so i had to go!
but i came across another manga shop and saw the book again- i was like- im getting it- see whats t abt- its was TRC book 2- and it costed me liek 80 dollars- like 8 pounds!! wow- nearly 10 quid a book (i want to get the manga- but its going to cost me like a lot!!!  :( but i was surprised- im clueless to find that an anime was coming out- found out on this site!! and i was like-what??? OMG!! so m thinking nxt time i go bk- hopefully the chinese subbed will be out- vcd/dvd- and get them instead of the manga- have to sacrifice one of them- or if i get rich all of a sudden- get both!  :okay:

Ermm... I can't be sure on how I got to know TRC. I heard rumours about there being a second part for CCS and that was exactly what I was looking out for. When I found a summary on TRC, I was slightly disappointed that CCS wasn't continued and instead, a new story was brought out.

And then I searched for scanlations and found it to be absolutely amazing! There were more action and our darling Syaoran was the main character at last!

I buy the Japanese version of TRC... yeah I can read it. But not so well, mind... @.@

I discovered TRC while walking into the manga section at a bookstore XD I was already a big fan of CCS, so I wanted to read some of it and found this instead. Glad I did :D

Well, lessee... Truthfully, I was never a CCS fan (SPARE ME, PLEASE!!!). But I happened to be poking around Barnes and Noble one day when I bumped into some friends (also nerdy manga/anime fans, hehe) So we were talking and she told me about the new Syaoran and Sakura manga. Of course, neither of us was very interested (she didn't like CCS that much either), but we thought one of our OTHER friends might be! (Haha) So she actually bought it... Then I went home that night and sorta looked it up (as I do often when I'm bored). It looked cool, and since the friend in the bookstore was only going to LEND it to our other friend, I decided to be nice and BUY it for our other friend. But see, then I read it before giving it to her... And I was like  :inlove: 'Screw that, this is MINE! BWAHAHAH!'

And such is my obsession!

I´ll repeat part of my introduction thread a bit :P

I never got to follow the manga because I´m kinda...ok , I´m very impatient ^^u and I could not stand just getting a chapter in one month. Still I followed CCS anime faithfully and even cosplayed as Sakura back then. Last year..or was it the year before that? ...can´t remember but I read the first chapter of the manga not long after it was published but something happened and did not continued to follow.

Then like two weeks ago I saw the first chapter of the anime and got curious to look at the rest of the manga´s story meanwhile chapter 2 came out. Searched through the net and found up to chapter 53. At first I was just planing on reading some ten or fifteen chapters but got hooked and read the whole thing the same day.

That´s my story ^_^

saw the first episode.. *jaws dropped*!! LOVE it immediately! he also said i am lucky because he just downloaded it for fun.. apparently, the title caught his attention...

my version is boring.  i just went into borders to look while my mom waited outside.  i saw xxxholic and read the back because it was by CLAMP.  well, seeing the words Sakura, Syaoran,  and the phrase from a land called Clow i pretty much had no doubt it was S+S.  this excited me to no end and i rushed home to call my best friend with the news since we were both into CCS.   the next time i went to buy  xxxholic, i saw it crossed over with TRC.  i frantically looked for TRC but borders didn't have it at that time  -_-.  so i bought xxxholic for the four panels S+S were in.  it was only when i went to barns and noble that i saw and bought the first volume.  hooked ever since.  my best friend isn't as into it as i am, but she still enjoys reading it.

Hmm...I was looking for a Christmas gift for one of my cousins whom I knew who was a huge hardcore fan of manga. A friend lent me a book to try (this was in Nov. yeah kinda late but) I don't remember the title band I looked at the ads for other books on the back and saw the summary for the 3rd vol. thinking "what the heck is going on" for I was a big fan of CCS . when i went home that day, I searched Tsubasa on Google and amazon and just started grinning a whole lot. Yep, I got the 1st volume for my cousin (a month in advance so I could read it, hehe)

Wow, even me thinking back to how I discovered TRC makes me wanna faint in shock all over again. It was such a strong case of love at first sight :heh:  *faints :love4:*

*regains consciousness*   Oh ya, and that friend of mine who owned that magazine with the Tsubasa chapter, she was a fan of the manga for a couple of months and then she lost interest -_-  So now I have nobody to talk to about TRC *except this beautiful forum of course* But nobody to scream to, "OMG! Tsubasa is the best!!!" kinda thing :sweatdrop: *When I told my friend about the Tsubasa anime a couple of weeks ago, she went, "So?"*  So!? :dodge:  Ok, I dont' wanna start with her. I'm still the bigger fan even if she did discover TRC first :XD:  *me ish such a selfish fangirl*
