Sakura card captor clear card2/19/2023 From now on, the chapter will be completely dialogue-less for 9 pages. The style of the clock hands is precisely the same on the cover of that book, while the gear is arranged a bit differently. The decoration in the upper left corner of the page signals to us that we’re witnessing the story coming from the Alice in Clockland book. Momo asked this to her back in chapter 50. The chapter opens with Sakura sleeping in fetal position in an unspecified environment. Now we’re only missing Kaito on the color page, so we can see the color combination of his outfit too (I will guess white with black decorations, at this point).Īnd now, let’s proceed unto the actual chapter itself! Take me to Wonderland That makes sense, since they’re likely inside of Alice in Clockland, and so Momo’s book. Besides that, I also realized that the 3 kids are dressing in a way that is matching Momo, who’s got her own outfit equally divided in black and white, with golden accents. Darkness is, willing or not, part of her too.Īll things considered, we’re definitely entering a “sub-arc” (the play) and so it’s fitting they would develop a “theme” to be portrayed on the color pages. Because of her past, and what she went through. Akiho looks really GORGEOUS in them □Īs I said often lately, the darker vibe suits her. □ In this way it really gives off the “mourning bride” vibe I was complaining about last month, but since some followers on Twitter have suggested to me a brighter way to interpret that, I won’t be particularly bothered by the choice of colors. I kinda knew it would’ve ended up being black for Akiho, but since she’s the Red Queen, I hoped the red would be more prominent. Akiho’s dress is mostly black with a smaller white part, while Sakura’s outfit is mainly white with black accessories. But if you look hard enough, you can actually recognize they’re simply keeping everything in theme: the illustration itself got the same background of the one with Sakura and Syaoran from last month, same clocks, same gears. In this color page we finally find out the colors of her play outfit: contrarily to what I imagined in my own fanart, CLAMP decided to take the emo/darker route and paint the bodice and upper layer of her dress all black, with red lining. Akiho is a unique character with her unique characteristics and quirks, who deserves to see that uniqueness being recognized more. Sure, she’s been featured other times, but always in combination with Sakura, which honestly contributed to exacerbate the annoying opinion that’s recurring in the fandom, “ she’s just Sakura’s carbon copy”. The last time our lovely Akiho was featured alone on a color page was back in chapter 23. Sit down, relax and get stoned let’s analyze together this chapter 65! The Color Page ALL HAIL THE RED QUEEN AKIHO!!! So before diving into this literal rabbit’s hole that is chapter 65, I’d like to reveal the gif of the month, which I find particularly fitting this time around □: Which CLAMP totally delivered in this chapter. This month we have chapter 65, the first chapter of the future volume 14, which might or might not be the last one of this arc (personally, I have a hard time believing everything can be wrapped up within the 14th, especially seeing how they took this entire chapter to introduce the world of Clockland).Īnd let me tell you, it was a very oneiric chapter, exactly what I’ve been expecting from the world where our Sakura/Alice was bound to be thrown into sooner or later: I’ve been anticipating a strange world, where nothing really made sense and where the reader is left to use their brain big time to understand what’s going on. End of the month, time for another chapter of Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Arc!
