3.0 out of 5 stars Great, but... 2 Mar 2012
By Kialtho
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sailor Moon is an anime that I grew up watching, English version, and then later the majority of the Japanese versions. I love the series, I think it's excellent [although, I didn't realise just how much was about falling completely and utterly in love it was about] I was really excited to start reading the manga! I've been wanting to read it for such a long time! With any luck they'll release new versions of the anime as well.

This story, as others have said picks up straight from the cliffhanger of the last book, and ends on a cliffhanger too. [How long to the book?] I loved it, except for one thing - which is nothing to do with the actual storyline, but rather the book itself. I'm not sure how many others experienced this with this version of the book, but my particular version of the book was misprinted. A few pages into the story, the reading method reversed [as in returns to the Western way of reading rather than remaining in the Japanese form]. Shortly after this it reverts back to traditional manga. I'm also inclined to believe that there are a few pages of the story missing as there's one section that doesn't fully conclude the story [when the control room is being attacked and Sailor Moon is at the North Pole].

For this reason alone I am reducing the star rating of this particular novel, as it's a pretty obvious thing to miss when checking translations and styles! Otherwise, it's a brilliant read and I recommend the story to anyone interesting in this sort of thing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Volume!! 19 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
Leaving off from volume 2 I was left desperate for more of these lush reprints. With this volume, I have to say the colour pages are the best yet! I love the illustrations.

This volume concludes the first arc and tying up any loose ends such as the final details of what happened in the Moon Kingdom and what happens to Mamoru/Tuxedo Mask/Endymion and what is to become of the conflicts between the Sailor Scouts, Beryl, Metalia and earth. The conclusion doesn't disappoint or leave any loose ends or questions regarding that side of things.

After that is wrapped up it starts swiftly and neatly into the next arc. For those who have never seen the Anime it may leave you confused since the whole first half of season 2 is pure filler, in the Manga there is no En/Ann and Ali/Allen. Whilst I enjoyed that section of the anime, particularly the last 2 episodes of the Alien section it doesn't make you feel as if you are missing out anything and you will find more of these situations happening in the future

POSSIBLE SPOILER!! the ending/last arc is very very different especially and it explains how Crystal Tokyo becomes. Also you'll find the movie S to be an actual part of the manga. /POSSIBLE SPOILER END

Anyway, like the last volumes we are introduced to more new characters: a new set of villains and Chibi-Usa or if you watched the dub 'Rini'.

It is a great volume and left me wanting more once more, I hope the next volume continues to improve. I feel like I haven't said much about the plot but really, it is better to read and find out for yourself. Even if this may not be perfect it is a classic to me and I hold it dear and close to my heart, that and the amazing colour pages and high quality leaves me no choice but to once again rate this volume 5 Stars ***** I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Edit: The other reviewer also has some good points about the translation, it does seem a bit off but I found it ok to ignore since I am happy with everything else but that is just a personal preference thing ^.^

3.0 out of 5 stars A classic, with beautiful art, but... 23 Jan 2012
By Talitha
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
...shamefully let down by the translation.

You would think that when a company such as Kodansha reprint such a classic, well known manga as "Sailor Moon" every possible effort would be made for the translation to be... well, perfect.

Unfortunately, it just doesn't come close. The dialogue is clunky in more than one place, and although possible to follow it easily jerks the reader out of the story on more than one occasion. There is even inconsistencies in the naming of the MAIN VILLAIN. Metaria or Metallia - only one of them can be correct, so why are both used?

The inclusion of suffixes (-chan, -san etc.), while it doesn't particularly bother me, is also a huge error. Translated manga (emphasis on translated) should not contain these. They are a quirk of the language that, while perhaps interesting or charming to some, are not correct English, and may even require some people to look them up in order to understand quite how a person is being addressed.

As the title indicates, the art is beautiful and I think the colour pages of this issue are the best and brightest yet. It's certainly worth buying to read such a classic, it's simply a shame it wasn't translated with more care.

For a long term fan of the series, this release is more than a little disappointing.
