This volume has a special limited edition in addition to the regular one:

The special edition comes with a special sleeve featuring a new illustration drawn by CLAMP (as seen above) and a special 12 big cards set. The set will be composed of:

  • 09 cards featuring the unreleased illustrations available in the digital edition as a bonus;
  • 01 card featuring the full illustration that is being used for the trading cards for each volume;
  • 02 cards featuring the illustrations from the new covers of the Anniversary edition (they don’t mention which ones).

The cards will be in the same size as the books (B6) and the special sleeve will hold them all.

At first, one might think the special limited edition has a new cover, but that’s not the case. Both versions (regular and special) has the same cover illustration, with Sakura and Syaoran. The new illustration you see above it’s actually from the transparent sleeve that is placed in front of the regular Sakura and Syaoran cover — beautiful new illustration, by the way, and it’s actually Sakura alone for the first time in this special edition.

It was a very fun ride waiting each month to see the new and unreleased illustrations =)
