5.0 out of 5 stars The battle continues.., January 18, 2012

This review is from: Sailor Moon 3 (Paperback)

Sailor Moon Volume 3 finishes up the equivalent of Season 1 of the Sailor Moon anime, and beginning the next arc of the story. In Volume 3 we see the senshi use the Moon Sword for the first time, and a much more tragic telling of the battle against Queen Beryl. As the inner senshi struggle to help Sailor Moon with the battle, Usagi fights to return Mamoru to normal and bring him back to her. As a fan who had mostly only seen the anime, it's wonderful to see more of the bond between Usagi and Mamoru that is often glossed over. Sailor Moon never moves along slowly, and the final battle is no exception to the rule. NOTE: The second arc of the manga is one place where the anime starts to depart from the series, and does not contain the 'Ail & Ann' storyline. The next arc soon begins and we are introduced to Chibi-Usa, and the Black Moon Clan. Peace never lasts however, and things quickly begin to fall apart for the Sailor Senshi.

Fans of the the use of the Japanese names will be happy to know that this has followed through to the Black Moon clan, and we see 'Demando' instead of 'Diamond' and 'Chibi-Usa' rather than 'Rini'.

I was extremely happy to see the gorgeous color pages at the beginning of the volume, as these are beautifully detailed and painted. In a bit of fan-girl squeeing, I was also happy to see the use of the image showing the inner senshi paired with the four generals as well for a chapter image and use of Mamoru's actual abilities as Prince of the Earth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sailor Moon Number 3:), January 18, 2012

This review is from: Sailor Moon 3 (Paperback)

This manga concludes the Dark Kingdom arc and starts one of my second favorite arcs-the R arc. Chibiusa arrives! One thing I noticed in the manga in the Black Moon arc is that Naoko makes the Black Moon a lot darker than she does in the anime. It makes them seem more threatening. Although, I will say why does Naoko make the Sailor Scouts get captured so easily by the Black Moon. As for the errors in this volume, I was a bit surprised. I noticed right away how in one of the episode titles they spelled Queen Metalia wrong. They had it spelled Metaria:P And they mesed up Jupiter's attack:( Hopefully they will fix Jupiter's attack in the next volume. It was nice that we had some colored pages:) I can't wait for Book 4 to come out!

2.0 out of 5 stars MY COPY IS MISSING OVER 20 PAGES, January 22, 2012

This review is from: Sailor Moon 3 (Paperback)

I am very disappointed.

I per-ordered my copy and was waiting for days in excitement, constantly keeping my eye on the shipment tracking.
After anxiously waiting its arrival, I receive my copy and finally sit down to start reading.

As I was reading, I noticed that about 10 pages into act 14, there seemed to be a harsh jump in the story line.

I continued reading on, just to realize that I had missed out on what was going on in the story. I flipped back a couple pages and find that act 14 ends at page 119, and immediately after page 119 is 153.

THE SECOND HALF OF ACT 14 AND FIRST PART OF 15 IS MISSING.

Just curious to know if anyone else has encountered the same problem.

So sad cause this particular manga is INCREDIBLE.
