                                                Cardcaptor Sakura Vol.4Review

This volume starts off with Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran being trapped in the maze card, to capture the maze card they have to find there way out of the maze. They come up with some ideas to try and make their search easier such as Sakura tries to use the Fly in order see which direction to go but the walls of the maze grew as she fly up, they tried to use Syaoran's compass but since it's used for locating Clow cards it doesn't work since their in a clow card and Tomoyo suggest they put one hand on a wall because she heard that's the way to get out of any maze. In the end their new teacher Kaho Mizuki ends up helping them out of the maze by smashing the walls with an object that contains powerful magic. Sakura seals the card after getting out of the maze but was nervous to do it in front of Kaho so Kaho turned away despite it being obvious she already knows about magic.Also in the first chapter we learn that back in middle school Touya and Kaho use to date but the two broke up when she moved away and she had predicted that the two of them would already be in love with other people the next time they meet.

The next story of the volume deals with Sakura's class going on a school trip at the beach were there is of course a clow card to be capture there. The first half of this story doesn't mention much about clow cards but does mention Sakura fear of ghosts and scary stories. Also Syaoran once again tells Sakura to be suspicious of Kaho but Sakura say she can't help but to like her and then the two of them start talking about their crushes on Yukito which makes them both blush. Sakura then tells Syaoran they shouldn't give up on their crushes because of the age difference and she gives him this smile that makes him blush and then he gets confused about his feelings so he decides to run away.

Later on while on the trip during this thing called the test of courage where the walk in a cave with a lit candle. While on the test of courage everyone starts to disappear which of course frightens Sakura greatly but after she runs into Syaoran he's able to calm her down and get her to sense that a clow card is causing everyone to disappear. After Sakura is done crying she tells Syaoran that he's nice he denies this and tells her he just doesn't like seeing people cry which does nothing to disprove Sakura's point. When they find a candle and Sakura doesn't have anything to light it with she is very impressed when Syaoran can use magic to lite it and she tells him this which makes him very embarrassed and he blushes a lot. Sakura decides to ask Syaoran about why he wants to capture the clow cards while they're approaching the clow card and he mentions the disaster that would fall upon the earth which Kero-chan had mentioned in previous volumes they try to figure out what it is but come up with nothing. The end up approaching the clow card and Sakura ends up capturing the card which turns out to be the erase card. Sakura tries to the card to Syaoran but he tells her that it's her card and after she thanks him for that he gets embarrassed and runs away again.

In the last chapter of this volume Sakura along with Tomoyo, Yukito and Touya go to a festival at Kaho's family's shrine and at said festival Sakura ends up capturing a clow card. The card she captures is called the glow card and it was a very peaceful card and Sakura ended up thanking the card because she had a nice moment with Yukito because of it.
