This is a review for all 12 volumes.I grew up watching the anime version of Sailor Moon. I have been enjoying watching Sailor Moon Crystal and the old episodes of Sailor Moon on Hulu. When I discovered that my local library had the manga, I had to read it. These books are so much fun and ridiculous. I will caution the prospective reader that the manga is a bit disjointed at times. The original anime did a much better job at character development than the manga. Even though the series is a bit silly, I can see myself rereading these books on an annual basis, because they are super easy to read and are quite enjoyable. The later volumes are a bit dark; however, for the most part, the series is fun and light. Through the power of love and friendship, evil will always be punished.I should note that towards the end of the series, Sailor Moon becomes a bit of a Messiah symbol, which feels a bit odd, but this is a fairly common trope. Sailor Moon was my childhood, and this edition was TRAUMATIZING in the best way possible! I love the way the relationship between Usagi and Mamorou is developing, and the way Sailor Venus was introduced. The manga differs from the Americanized version of the show that I grew up on, and I really like exploring the differences.And I'm starting to get the hang of this manga thing! Now on to volume 3!
Do You like book Pretty Guardian (2011)?
it's different, but I still love it.I grew up with this after all.
