Cardcaptor Sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura's current wave of activity is merchandise and retail: a large-scale Sakura Kinomoto figure from CLAMP and Good Smile Company is scheduled for January 2028, and a second axes femme apparel collection opens in September 2026. The series' smartphone game, Cardcaptor Sakura: Omoide no Kagi, launched in June 2026.

Synthesized from 16 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 2

Cardcaptor Sakura's coverage in this stretch is almost entirely merchandise and events rather than new animation. The franchise's most recent commercial moves are figures, apparel, and collaborations. Kotobukiya's 1/7 scale Sakura Kinomoto in the Clear Card [Seige] costume is priced at 24,200 yen and set for release in April 2027, with preorders open at AmiAmi. Good Smile Company's Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Sakura Kinomoto Memorial Collection blind box set puts Sakura in six costumes from across the original series openings and Clear Card. A third CLAMP and Good Smile collaboration, a 1/7 scale figure about 500mm tall with a light-up base, is scheduled for January 2028 at 59,800 yen.

Apparel and cafe tie-ins fill out the same period. axes femme's second Cardcaptor Sakura collection covers eight items, with sales opening on the axes femme online shop on September 23 and at some stores on October 3 and on ZOZOTOWN. MAYLA's "Cardcaptor Sakura Iconic Blouse" comes in two models and includes a card per item. SMILE BASE CAFE's collaboration runs from July 28, 2026 at three stores, and the Cardcaptor Sakura TaKaRaBaKo pop-up returns to Osaka and Nagoya in July 2026.

The franchise's interactive side moved in June 2026. KaraQ's free-to-play smartphone game Cardcaptor Sakura: Omoide no Kagi launched June 25, with players collecting digital miniatures of characters in over 100 outfits. The game follows the end of the Clear Card sequel manga in 2023 and its final volume in 2024.
