It is unlikely that CCS Clear Card #1 will appear in next week’s ranking, but I hope I’m wrong. That doesn’t mean that it will stop selling, of course. It will keep selling, just not enough to appear in Oricon’s weekly top 50. Considering that it will keep selling during the next few weeks, and that we don’t know the limited edition’s numbers, it’s safe to assume that it will soon break the 500.000 mark. It’s also always worth mentioning that although Oricon is the most trustworthy and relevant ranking chart that we know of these days, most but not all bookstores and shops are covered by it, so that the numbers we have are only an estimate and it’s likely that it sold more than this.

Seven weeks is undoubtedly a long run, the longest run of a CLAMP manga since I started taking accounts of sales performance. I’m looking forward to see how the upcoming volumes will perform once they are release, and it’ll be fun to compare it with the previous volumes.

Sakura keeps conjuring her magic in Oricon’s charts!

Now on to its sixth week, Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ #1 climbed 3 positions in comparison to last week, landing on the 26th place in Oricon’s weekly ranking!

In terms of copies sold, however, the number was slightly less than last week’s, but still quite impressive considering it’s been six weeks since its release. That being said, an estimate of 23,894 copies were sold this past week.

The above numbers are for the regular edition. The Special Edition (mangaka set) did not appear in this week’s ranking.

Combining the sales for both versions, Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ #1 sold an estimate of 404,467 copies overall so far!

Congratulations for CLAMP and Card Captor Sakura for breaking the 400.000 mark in 6 weeks!

Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ volume 1 is officially doing well in the rankings! On its fifth week, not only the book climbed to the 29th position, but it also sold more copies than the previous two weeks!

An estimate of 34,764 copies were sold in the past week — 1.282 more than last week.

The above numbers are for the regular edition. The Special Edition (mangaka set) did not appear in this week’s ranking.

Combining the sales for both versions, Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ #1 sold an estimate of 380,573 copies overall so far.

The sales increase might be explained by the holidays, or maybe because Card Captor Sakura might just have consistent sales over the weeks.

It’s been fun to watch Card Captor Sakura‘s long run, and let’s keep our fingers crossed for it to break the mark of 400.000 copies sold next week!

Although it dropped to the 34th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, the first volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ managed to sell more copies than the previous week! On its fouth week of sales, it sold 33,482 copies sold in its second week of sales — 688 more than last week, completely surpassing my own estimates! That shows that Card Captor Sakura is having a good performance in the long run.

The above numbers are for the regular edition. The Special Edition (mangaka set) did not appear in this week’s ranking.

Combining the sales for both versions, Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ #1 sold an estimate of 345,809 copies overall so far.

I’ll keep an eye on next week’s ranking to see if Card Captor Sakura shows up again (hopefully yes!).
