Sagas manga leídas: ''Sailor Moon'', y ''Sailor V'', de Naoko Takeuchi. Glénat, edición española. 18 y 3 tomos. Heroínas, superheroínas, magical girls, cómic, aventuras, acción, romance...
Otro de los mangas que compré en cuanto se editaron en España.
La serie de televisión la descubrí, en verdad, después...
El dibujo es precioso, detallado, divertido y elegante... Entre el manga clásico y moderno de hace una generación.
Debo aclarar que antes que ''Sailor Moon'', va ''Sailor V''. Una especie de 'episodio piloto' de 3 tomos, que ya avanza la trama de la serie.
Quizás inspirada en una época en la que las mujeres se hartaron de ser consideradas las 'segundonas' en un mundo más bien lleno de mallas masculinas...
En un Japón rodeado de seres malvados, unas estudiantes con traje de marinera, nos van a demostrar de lo que son capaces entre familia, amigos, colegio, chicos monos, gatos misteriosos, videojuegos, y que no se nos olvide el almuerzo... para que triunfen la paz, la justicia, la amistad y el amor.
Aparecerán muchos personajes, con una historia personal cada uno: los buenos y los malos.
La luna, siempre presente, nos mostrará sus varios rostros y secretos...
Buenos que se transforman en malos y extraños que se transforman en familia. Y máscaras que ocultan rostros que a veces no pueden ocultar el amor.

Este es el único tomo que he leído de la historia de Usagi y su banda, aunque he visto la serie de dibujos enterita. Sospecho que este manga me habría enganchado a base de bien, pues tiene todos los elementos que me interesan y un dibujo muy bonito.
Ahora mismo ya me da pereza comenzar a coleccionar la serie, pero reconozcámoslo: Bishojo Shenshi Sailor Moon no fue solo una moda, fue pionera en las series de niñas con superpoderes y catapultó el manga shojo a la estratosfera, donde pertenece. De modo que si alguien tiene curiosidad por saber dónde empezó todo esto, aquí está, en formato libro de bolsillo y en precio medianamente asequible.

Review for complete series
Sailor Moon is a fundamental series of manga. Most manga fans and readers will have read it or at the very least be familiar with the character and plot. I was one of those who did not grow up with Sailor Moon; I never really saw the anime episodes and by the time I started to read the manga the Sailor Moon series was long out of print. Nonetheless, I had an idea of what the series was about, the characters and of course the fact that it was famous and very popular. By now I have watched the first season and have read the series. Prior to reading it my expectations of this series were not too high – sure, there must be something about it that so many people would love it. But I also thought that a lot of its high praise must come from that air of nostalgia that Sailor Moon will always have. Despite my doubts, after having read it I feel that this manga truly deserves all the praise it receives!
There are a few things that I did not like – but that holds true for most things. For one thing, Sailor Moon does, in no way, look or act like a 14-year old. I would have been much happier if she were just a few years older. Mamoru is a nice character but the poor guy is pretty much the only representative of males. All other male characters that appear are only around for a couple of chapters, villains, minor characters or women disguised as men. And then, although it is typical for magical girl manga, the name of their attacks. I do not mind them having hearts and whatnot all over their costumes – but all the spells with sugar heart rains and the like were too much for me.
However!
Sailor Moon was so much more than what I expected of a magical girl series. Magical girl types of series often leave me with a lot of disbelief and hardly ever do more than just provide a bit of entertainment. I always thought of Sailor Moon to be just like that but the author delivered such beautiful and logical explanations to all the events happening. I loved the whole concept of the story and it let the characters be true guardians of the earth rather than teenagers in sparkly costumes. I am no big fan of science fiction but I loved how the author played with time and space. Because she managed to make Sailor Moon's role so much more believable for me, it was so much easier to route for her and feel with her through all the hardships.
I loved the power of friendship in this work and the romance between Sailor Moon and Mamoru was beautiful. I watched the first season of the anime before reading the manga: the relationship between Sailor Moon and Mamoru was ridiculous but the manga version just made my heart feel warm. The beautiful artwork of the author helped, of course. But all scenes between Sailor Moon and Mamoru were so gentle and warm. I loved how their memories of their past lives slowly returned to them.
The other thing is the art. The artwork is one of the most important things for me when reading a manga and Sailor Moons is just so astonishingly beautiful. Sailor Moon as a character was also very nice – she grows so much throughout the series and she is nowhere as annoying as she was in the anime adaption. It is also nice how the author goes into the other characters dreams and wishes and does not only focus on Sailor Moon – another thing that many magical girl manga do.
The series delivers many lovely and also comical scenes which is good because it also has many (to me unexpected) dark scenes. I probably enjoyed the middle arcs the most. However, I was very interested in the final arc about Sailor Galaxia and was rather disappointed that it fell so short. I think there could have been a lot more about that arc and I would have liked to have learned more about Sailor Galaxia’s motives and origins as well as the purpose and system of the Cauldron and how it creates the stars and planets.
All in all: nothing but the highest praise for Sailor Moon! I liked this series so much more than what I always what I always thought I would and I think it is never too late to become a fan!

AH! THIS WAS POSSIBLY THE BEST VOLUME YET!
Volume 9 is also slightly longer than the other books in the series, but so many thing happen in this one! It was a mega-action-packed volume as we gear up for the finale of this arc and the main Sailor Moon Series. This volume provides the background information on the Outer Senshi and what their duties were for the Moon Kingdom and why they've been reborn in this era. Sailor Pluto/Setsuna bears some ominous news on Earth's future warning of the Sovereign's awakening. Uranus and Neptune decide they must kill Hotaru in order to stop her from destroying the Earth. In Sailor Moon's attempts to save Hotaru, she calls on the love of all the Scouts and transforms into Super Sailor Moon. Professor Tomoe is hard at work as well, and when Hotaru manages to snatch the Imperium Crystal from Rini, Mistress 9 is born. Drawing from the seemingly endless power of the Imperium Crystal, Mistress 9 threatens to blow up the planet...and Rini continues to grow weaker. Super Sailor Moon must decide if she has the strength to destroy what was once Hotaru's body in order to save the planet.
It was an amazing volume, one of the strongest in the series by far. Loved the background info on the Outer Senshi! Can't wait to read the close of this arc. :)

August 7, 2025To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like this manga. In fact, I was expecting to loathe it. To my surprise, I didn’t.
To be clear, I didn’t love this manga. I don’t know what it is about this series but it’s a manga that I would love to bash but at the same time there’s this charm and likability to it that I just can’t bring myself to hate it.
Sailor Moon is the shojo manga that basically started the magic girl story in manga. It’s very predictable and cheesy. But that's part of its' charm. Since it is also a romance, it tends to have those romantic clichés such as the main couple being total opposites and not getting along.
While the main character is a bit whiny and a crybaby at times, I didn't find her so unbearable that I couldn't stand her at all. Her slightly annoying personality is a lot better than having no personality at all.
Regardless, no matter how many flaws this manga has, I have to admit that there is this charm to it that just makes it kind of likable. Some of the characters are likable and the plot did move surprisingly fast. Much like my review of Dragon Ball Z I don't love the franchise but I do admire and respect it for what it has done for the Shojo manga and magic girl genre.

"Sailor Moon #9" es el noveno volumen, que recompila los capítulos del 29 al 32 del manga.
Se nos revela que la verdadera razón por la que Pharaoh 90 quiere destruir los tres talismanes es porque cuando se convinen, serán los causantes de despertar a Sailor Saturn y con ello, el fin del universo tal y como lo conocemos, también descubrimos que al igual que las demás Sailor Guardians, Saturn también reencarno en esta época, en el cuerpo de la pequeña Hotaru, quién ha sido modificada quirurgicamente por su padre para ser el recipiente perfecto para Mistress 9.
Mientras tanto, las Sailor Guardians de la Constelación Exterior (Uranus, Neptune y Pluto) revelan que tienen una misión: evitar el despertar de Sailor Saturn, por lo cuál deben sacrificar a Hotaru, lo que genera una disputa entre ellas y las demás Sailor Guardians.

4 estrellas, posiblemente llegando a 4.5 estrellas.
El tomo inicia con una fuerte revelación, un personaje que me causaba duda si lo íbamos a volver a ver, aunque yo sabía la respuesta.
La justificación en cierto punto me parece algo lógica, pero con lo acostumbrado que estoy al arte de Araki, me cuesta retomar el seguimiento de Takeuchi.
Me gusta como se va resolviendo las cosas, aunque tengo miedo de sentirme saturado con tantas cosas que van apareciendo.

It has taken me until the 9th volume to realize I have the wrong editions selected but I don’t want to go back and redo them. These are mostly for myself anyway. So far the Dream storyline is my favorite. I also like that the 3 outer planet guardians are coming back. I really like them!

It's not a bad saga but... It's kinda dull, it gets way better when we get to Michiru-Haruka-Setsuna-Hotaru's part but don't know I'm still convinced it was better finished in the previous saga

Story: Like a fine wine Sailor Moon R gets better with time from it's predecessor Sailor Moon. The Black Moon Arc introduces the same cast of characters are back with new villains to fight. The series arc split in two with the first part having the Doom Tree aliens appear, Ann and Alan. The second part of the series introduces the Black Moon villains. This time there is a little surprise waiting for Serena and Darien, Rini, there are also three new scouts that are found: Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn.
Drawing Style: The drawing is in the same style as in Sailor Moon. Simple, realistic and for the time period.
Characters: The characters and story continue to be developed as the mystery of what happened in the Crystal Kingdom is revealed and the destiny of the characters is foretold. The new characters (Especially the corresponding villains) are a good foil for the characters that were already introduced.
Overall: I thought that the second series arc of Sailor Moon was better than the first. The whole entire plot development takes on a new step in the second series making the volumes irresistible and the characters more lovable that before.
Note: This review was completed after reading volumes 4-10.

The Infinity College story's intensity increases as we get closer to the final battle. We learn more about tragic Hotaru's story and why her father is the way he is. We also learn about the solitary lives of the outer scouts, their talismen, and why they are on Earth at this time. We discover the purpose of the formidable Sailor Saturn, the most deadly of the scouts, and Moon gets a power boost thanks to the power of <3.
Will the scouts be able to take down Pharoah 90 and the newly introduced Mistress 9?!?! Will Saturn ?!?! Well, you won't find out in this book. Maybe the next.

One of my all-time favorite series. The gateway series to getting me into anime and manga! The artwork impressed me so much, and the story was fun. It is still one of my favorites both because it's well-done, and for nostagia reasons.
This is the version that came out during the middle age of manga: before they stopped flipping the artwork, but right as TokyoPop was starting to emerge, and the volumes got cheaper. Unfortunately you could see it in the quality, as there were a lot of typos and sometimes the edges of pages would get cut off.

Sailors Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, with their mysterious objectives clash with the classic Scouts, Sailor Moon gets a power up, the Sailor Scout whose coming means the end of everything is possessed by the enemy. Big drama with intriguing conflicts between the goals of the classic Scouts and the new squad, and good action. Another solid installment.

Chibi Usa jest szczęśliwa z powrotu Pluton do życia. Pojawiają się także Uran i Neptun. Ale ale mimo, że cel mają taki sam jak Czarodziejki, metody, którymi chcą go osiągnąć wywołują podziały. Czy przemieniona Usagi w Super Sailor Moon zdoła coś zmienić?
Mega szybko lecą te tomy ;) To jest ostatnia część jaką mam w domu...

we learn about sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Hatoru is the bad guy in the end of this issue. I have always loved this series. my favorite scene is when Hatoru gets injured and it is revealed that she is half machine.

Ya en este punto se me esta empezando a mezclar el anime y el manga. Cada tomo es mejor que el otro, y este especialmente deja muchísima intriga.
El padre de Hotaru me sigue dando lástima. Pobre tipo.
