This was my daughter's first manga when she was young. I saved it for many years, and now I took the time to read it. It was a delight. It's about strong women and friendship. It's about keeping evil forces from gaining power. It's about beauty. It's about romance. It's also about a black cat (I love back cats since my daughter has one). The cat's name in the book is Luna, which means moon in Spanish. I speak some Spanish so I also love the cat's name.
The drawings in the book are gorgeous. I would love to color in the pages, but I wouldn't want to ruin the book. I think I'll save it for my granddaughter. I think she'll appreciate it when she gets to be the right age as her older brother is now well indoctrinated into shonen (manga for show more boys).
I think there's probably nothing like Sailor Moon as it has become such a classic. I would dearly love to read the continuing series if I can get hold of those books. I'd love to know what happens to Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and, of course, Tuxedo Mask and Luna, too. There shall be some fun reading ahead for me.
One thing in this book made me laugh. It talks about a floppy disk. Who even knows what that is any more?!
I also loved the notes from Naoko (the author) to the reader sprinkled throughout the book. The print is so tiny, though. I guess most of the readers of this series have better eyesight and are younger than this seventy-something me. show less

This is where it all started. I first saw this anime on a random dubbed broadcast on television, and though I couldn't find the show anywhere else for a long time, I was hooked on anime from that moment. Then I decided to pick up the manga series just because I had such fond memories of the show, and that propelled me into collecting other manga series, too. History repeats itself. We must all know the plot of Sailor Moon by now, so I'm just going to summarize why I enjoy this series. The romance is what first drew me - boy and girl despise each other and then fall in love - but I liked all the transformations and magic spells and friendships, too. This was the first magical girl series that I had seen. The relationships between the show more senshi are sweet and funny. I like the blending of silly and slapstick behavior with serious moments, even of self sacrifice. The manga series has a much darker side, and the events in this book move quickly. After all, the first series is all held in four and a half volumes of manga. Usagi and Mamoru also realize the others' identity pretty quickly, and I like that they notice clues about each other right from the beginning. I appreciate the serious tone of the manga, which makes the series more mature than the anime. show less
My first exposure to Sailor Moon was the DIC-dubbed animation that came out in the 90's, but I was thrilled to find this manga released in the USA! If you liked the anime, then by all means check out the manga, the artwork is lovely and it's always interesting to note the difference between anime and manga.
I reread this to avoid comfort eating while i was upset after breaking up with my boyfriend last week. I couldn't get enough of this in seventh grade, but rereading this 8 years later isn't quite the same. Its a little silly, repetitive, but enjoyable none the less. Definitely an excellent mindless read, especially when stressed (and healthier than eating a package of oreos!). :)
It's cheesy, but moves faster than original anime. Reading online because the new Sailor Moon Crystal series is supposed to be more faithful to the manga- and after doing so, the art choices for Crystal make way more sense (especially the placement of facial features- I thought Crystal was weirdly exaggerated/"pretty", but it does match the art style better).
Ya tengo 23 años pero todavìa la amo .
