Was Tomoyo in love with Sakura?


While I was browsing for different anime in different genre, I came across
with [Yuri genre](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28genre%29) and then
found a [list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28genre%29#Yuri_series)
where anime that contain yuri genre. I was shocked to see [Cardcaptor
Sakura](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura) on the list as anime
with yuri as an additional element. I have watched Cardcaptor Sakura a lot of
times but I haven't read it's manga. The only thing that comes on mind that
_could_ be the yuri element was Sakura and Tomoyo's relationship as best
friends (and their mothers'). If I'm not mistaken, since I've watched
Cardcaptor Sakura a lot of times when I was still a kid, there were no solid
implications that Tomoyo had romantic feelings towards Sakura, meaning you can
only sense friendship in their relationship (or it was something I overlooked
or I didn't give deep meaning to it). Though, I'm not really sure in the manga
since I've never read it. So, is there any truth to this and if it has (in
anime or manga), please show reference to justify it (in any episode or
chapter).




On the TV Tropes page, Tomoyo is listed as a [Token Yuri
Girl](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TokenYuriGirls):

> Tomoyo Daidouji in Card Captor Sakura, though it was toned down a bit in the
> anime. The manga actually had her telling Sakura that she loves her in that
> way, [though it went right over the heroine's
> head](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ObliviousToLove).

So it seems that it's toned down in the anime (I didn't seem like anything
other than best friends and maybe borderline infatuation in the anime), but
blatant in the manga. Also noted [in the CSS
wiki](http://ccs.wikia.com/wiki/Tomoyo_Daid%C5%8Dji):

> While Tomoyo is in love with Sakura, she notes that she is happy to be able
> to be with Sakura and does not require Sakura to love her back.
