5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended!, March 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sailor Moon 6 (Paperback)
This manga is especially nice for North American Sailor Moon fans because you can kind of compare story lines with the Sailor Moon R season from T.V. In this manga, Wicked Lady appears and Sailor Moon and the rest of the Sailor Senshi battle the Wiseman in the 30th Century Crystal Tokyo. Even if you have seen the episodes, there are a lot of plot differences that create almost an entirely different story, so I recommend this highly, especially if there are any Sailor Pluto fans out there!

If you haven't read this; you're a fool, August 31, 2000
This review is from: Sailor Moon 6 (Paperback)
Sailormoon in 1000 words or less? Okay. Bishojo Senshi Sailormoon is the peak of manga released in the United States, and as more become available to the public, the greater the fanbase. Bishojo Senshi Sailormoon, or commonly shortend to Sailormoon, is about a middle school flunkee (Have you seen her grades? It's amazing she makes it in Highschool) who stumbles on a Crescent-moon-bald-spot having cat from Mau named Luna, royal advisor of the lost Silver millenium, but more on that later, who gives Usagi, (or Bunny) a brooch in which she can transform into Sailormoon, the Pretty Soldier of Love and Justice. In the First Manga comic, through her magic goggles, Usagi/Bunny sees her friend Naru/Molly in danger, and arrives quickly on the scene. With her supersonic tears, her tiara, and the mysterious Tuxedo Kamen/Mask, she defeats her first enemy.
In the next few, she meets fellow senshi/soldiers Ami/Amy Sailormercury, Rei/Raye Sailormars, Makoto/Lita Sailorjupiter, and finally the mysterious Sailor V (another manga series was dedicated to her) Minako/Mina, Sailorvenus, the self proclaimed Princess Serenity.
Then with Tuxedo Kamen/Mask, who is discovered is Prince Endymion of Earth, Usagi/Bunny discovers that SHE is the Real Moon Princess. Now it is up to her to destroy the evil Metallia, and she must also destroy *gasp* her true love, the now evil Endymion.
Now that peace spreads across the land, a mysterious pink haired rabbit named Usagi/Bunny arrives, using toy guns filled with roses to retrive the Silver Illusion Crystal. Nicknamed Chibi-Usa/Rini, a new villian arrives to capture both Chibi-Usa/Rini and the Silver Illusion Crystal. As the four sisters, Coonan/Catsy, Berachu/Birtie, Petz/Prisma, and Calaveras/Avery, die off, the senshi Rei/Raye, Ami/Amy, and Makoto/Lita are abducted. In this issue, Chibi-Usa/Rini reveals her true identity, and that mysterious Sailor Senshi who uttered the words Abracadabra Poof is revealed, Moon can no longer use her powers, and she believes that her Mamo-chan/Darien is leaving her... for the 9 year old girl, and the pink haired rabbit is in a school-girl crush with... her DAD? Then all the black moon family but Demando/Diamond and Wiseman die, and Black/Wicked Lady is born, and once again, Mamo-chan/Darien heads into the dark side... Bwahahaha! (Mamo-chan! NOOOOO! *grabs tissues*) The art is A+++ The story is 7 stars. And it is even recomended to those who can't read, but can enjoy the images. For Laughs, cries, and fun, enjoy BSSM today! You sure can't get the read me a 1000 times feel from Poke'mon...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Totaly different from the TV series, March 27, 2000
This review is from: Sailor Moon 6 (Paperback)
This book, along with the other manga compalations, are a completely different story almost, from the TV series. I am not just talking about the American TV series, but the Japanese version too. For instance the final battle is in the future, Sailor Pluto is a much more important character, and we meet Luna and Artimus' kitten Diana here instead of in Sailor Moon Super S like in the TV series. This is a fantastic book and I recomend the whole series to anyone who is interested in manga, not just Sailor Moon fans. If you are interested in obtaining Sailor Moon S, Super S, or Sailor Stars with Subtitles, then visit my website
