The fourteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ dropped to the 12th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 34,423 copies sold in its second week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Acrylic Charms) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
Combing the sales of weeks one and two, it sold an estimate of 75,315 copies overall. This is the lowest overall sales by the second week for a Clear Card volume yet, although figures for the Special Edition and preorders are unknown.
Please note that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

I don’t think it will make it to week 3, but we’ll see.
The fourteenth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ debuted at the 5th position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 40,892 copies sold in its first week of sales for the regular edition. The Special Edition (Acrylic Charms) did not appear on the weekly top 30.
This is the second lowest sales for a first week, only behind the first week sales of volume 12 (49,816 copies).
However, it is worth mentioning two points: 1) volume 14 was released on March 31st and the ranking is up until April 2nd, meaning that volume 14 had only 3 days of actual sales out of a full week. Taking that into consideration, it had a decent run. Still, previous volumes of Clear Card went through a similar scenario and still had a better sales performance in their first week; and 2) The first 4 titles are not published by Kodansha, meaning Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ volume 14 was this week’s most sold title published by Kodansha.
Finally, it is always worth mentioning that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops and preorders are likely not taken into account. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

Let’s hope it will make it to its second week.

Card Captor Sakura Clear Card arc volume 14 will be released on March 31, 2023. This time, the special edition will come with a 12-piece acrylic key charm set featuring the 12 Sakura illustrations that appear in the back cover of the series’ classic edition.
Each key charm is about 40mm x 40mm in size.
Here are pictures of the volume cover and the special edition:
Kodansha lists volume 14 as having 160 pages, which is the average number of pages for Clear Card and about 30 pages less than volume 13 (which was bigger than normal). This volume probably includes up to Chapter 70.
The cover illustration is very pretty!
The prices for the regular and special editions are 517 and 3,080 yens, respectively, and they are both available for pre-order at Amazon Japan with worldwide shipping: [Regular Edition], [Special Limited Edition]

Last October, it was announced in the obi that came with Card Captor Sakura Clear Card arc volume 13 that the series would end on the following volume, volume 14.
However, Kodansha and CLAMP went back on that decision and announced that the series will actually end on volume 15.
Here’s the official announcement, which was also included in this month’s Nakayoshi magazine:
Volume 14 will come out on March 31st, 2023.
Volume 15 (final) will come out on October 13th, 2023.
In recent twitter spaces that CLAMP did, they mentioned that volume 14 (by that time, still scheduled to be the last one), would be even bigger in page terms than volume 13, which was already over 180 pages. CLAMP and Kodansha probably thought it would be better to add one additional volume to wrap the story more properly.
Indeed, those who are following the story might have felt that ending it within 2-3 chapters might mean having a rushed ending. I was of course looking very much forward to the ending (I still am!), but I am in favor of making justice to the story and giving it the best ending! Besides, 15 volumes sound better than 14, right?
We have yet to see if this will have any impact on the resume of XXXHOLiC Rei, which is scheduled for the Japanese Spring.
