Now, I would just like to get it out there that I am not a mother of a 6 year old Sailor Moon fan. I'm 14 years old, a guy and a VERY big fan of SM. Once I heard that these books were coming out, I though "WOW! Finally, Sailormoon stuff that litle kids will be able to enjoy!" Little did I know that I would stumble over volumes one and two the next day, buy them, and read them in 45 minutes later that day.

The books have fairly big, plain print, making it very easy for kids to read them. No big words are used, and all of the "I'm"s and "don't"s have bee changed to "I am"s and "Do not"s. Very simple to read. ALSO, it isn't girly (ie...the pages aren't pink and Serena doesn't say "as if" every 3 lines) so boys will like it too!

The pictures in these things...WOW! They are half-page to full-page captures from the show! And I realized how well the book descibed things like the Luna Mind Meld.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book for any children, guys or girls, and for Sailor Moon fans that want a nice review of Sailor Moon R. They aren't too expansive (3 of these for 1 graphic novel) so buy them! You'll enjoy it!

This is the best book in the world because it tells you about the Negaverse and the best things about Sailor Moon.I like this book because it's great.

I felt that this book was awesome for kids. As an older sibling and Sailor Moon fan, I bought this book for my sister who absolutely loved it. It's great for the little kids with pictures and easy-read. Any little girl (or boy) under the age of about 9 who loves Sailor Moon should own this book.

...First of all, I would just like to point out that this book wasn't written by Naoko Takeuchi. She is Japanese. She lives in Japan....And she has no control over Scholastic or Tracey West, who is the author of "The Return Of Sailor Moon"

(And now,the actual review)

I don't think this is the best book to get for someone who is new to Sailor Moon,because the story starts from the second season,which can be pretty confusing if you haven't watched the show before. However,if you are a fan of Sailor Moon,and are not embarassed to read and/or buy picture books,it's worth a look. At least they haven't got Serena wearing clothes from The Gap and listening to the *shudder* Backstreet Boys...Although I didn't understand why they wrote in the theme song at the beginning of the book. That was pretty pointless...

How I think this works-
The Sailor Moon Manga by Naoko Takeuchi-Wonderful.
The Japanese Anime-OK
The American Dubbed Version-Just Plain Sorry
This Book-Horrible
You notice how it keeps getting worse? I can barely see ANYTHING from the manga in this book. Please Naoko, I beg of you, make it stop!
