* Review and Summary may contain spoilers from previous books of the series. Read at your own risk * Plot: Boy, oh, boy! This manga seems to be getting better and better with each installment. Before we go any further, I have a confession to make. The Outer Sailor Guardians have never been my favorite. Actually, I am not even 100% sure I have ever completely read or watched their adventures. Sure, I know the overall plot line, but for some reason, I never cared for them the way that I did the Inner Sailor Scouts. But my opinion may […]

First and foremost, I was pleasantly surprised with how the manga handled the dark transformation of Chibi-usa. The Sailor Moon characters are all so good that it borders on tooth-breaking sweet.

Plus, when one little secret gets spilled, the look of shock on Usagi and Mamoru’s […]

What about the Scouts… what will be there final role in the battle? At this point, I think I have given up on my in-head comparisons. The anime and […]

Plot:  Sailor Moon and I go way back. This was the first anime I ever watched. I remember getting up super early very morning for school just so I could watch it. Even years later when I need a good fix, it is right there waiting for me, now in its newly rereleased manga. In the first volume, readers are introduced to Usagi (Serena), Ami, Rei, and Makoto (Mina) and their sailor guardian counterparts: Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. Having usually encountered the US version of names, it was a bit strange to make this switch in my head. […]
