review 1: Just some little nitpick-y things here. There was one page where some of the dialogue was cut off as it was so close to the middle of the book, that I had to bend the book a little bit more than I am comfortable with to actually read all of it. There were some ink splotches from a printing error all over a dialogue balloon in my copy, so I would just recommend to skim over the book before you purchase it if this is a big no-go for you. I was a little disappointed when I realized that I had found it, but I'm not going to take it back to the store. It is still legible, so why bother? Lastly, there were about three editing issues where either an article was missing or an article was just shoved into a sentence where it had no business being. Other than those three little... more things, another great installation of Sailor Moon and seeing the continuance of the Black Moon saga. Can't wait for the next volume, as it is one of my favorites.
review 2: I like Chibi-Usa in the manga's a lot more than in the anime. It's been a long time since I watched that season of the show (I'm slowly re-watching them!) but I didn't really like her. I thought she was super obnoxious. However in the manga's I really didn't like Usagi's jealousy. It felt very weird and uncomfortable to read! I also felt really bad that Usagi grows into a mother who's child feels intimidated to talk to her. There doesn't seem to be much affection between the two in either time period, I hope in the next book their relationship will improve. Things get pretty steamy between Usagi and Mamoru! I don't remember them being that physical in the anime, look out! The black moon enemies are great, I'm interested to see how the scouts will defeat them. We also get to see sailor Pluto for the first time in the manga which is awesome! She is a great character, full of mystery. less

It's a strange experience reading this manga. So much of it is familiar, and yet it's so completely different. It feels like the storylines are rushed with very little character development within the chapters. There is some, of course, but it feels lacking.It could be because I keep expecting the storyline to be similar to the anime, and I need to get out of that habit before it disappoints me. The four sisters, for example, were barely in the story enough to matter and it seemed like they were defeated far too easily.What I do like about this manga is the development of Mamoru's powers. In the anime, his role was very minimal in battles. Here, his powers are used to help fight. I also loved that Kunzite and the others are still around to encourage Mamoru.So of course I still like the manga. I just need to learn to push aside my memories of the anime and read it as something new.

I'd like to give this book more of 3.5 stars. It was better than good, but not quite excellent.The first few chapters of volume 4 are fairly similar and repetitive: new bad guy is sent in from Black Moon. New bad guy targets a specific Sailor Scout. The scout is captured, but Sailor Moon is able to defeat the bad guy.What I liked much more was when the story shifts to the 30th century and we learn about Chibi-Usa. The jealously that Usagi feels for Chibi-Usa is, at the same time, understandable and frustrating. I think that the next volume is going to be better due to the set up at the end of this one. I'm sure that one will be a more solid 4 stars.

The translation seemed a bit off in this one.
