review 1: 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 punis... morehed.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.
review 2: I'm in two minds with the manga series. On one hand, I really am enjoying getting more details about things that were glossed over in the anime adaptation. Even though scenes transition really fast here, you still get these minor details that are very pleasing to a long time fan.On the other hand, the pace of the story is super quick, and it feels just a little disjointed to me. It could just be the age of the manga itself showing here, since more recent manga has flowed much better.Of course i'm going to keep reading these, since this IS my first time through the original manga. less
