Este es mi arco favorito, el Dream Arc.
Me gusta mucho porque todo lo que pasó anteriormente, culmina en el transcurso de este arco. Además, las Sailor adquieren más protagonismo, con un capítulo dedicado a cada una de ellas. Hasta Mamoru tiene algo especial dedicado en este arco solo para él, al igual que Chibiusa, aunque ella en el minuto en que apareció ya fue importante.
Siempre lo he dicho, éste es mi fav, junto con el segundo arco.
¡Me queda el último! ¡El quinto!

Ay, menos mal que cada vez que Sailor Moon está por ser derrotada, digievoluciona :P
Sarcasmo aparte, amé este tomo. 10/10.
Este arco argumental es muy bueno, medio falopa, pero muy bueno. Mil veces mejor que en el ánime (odié esta parte en el ánime, es aburrídisima).
No sé si les perdono el poco protagonismo de Ojo de Pez y cia, pero muy bueno todo lo demás.

The manga is different than the anime. And I'm terrified again. This time its Dead Moon Circus. But the lines of the drawings are soft and pretty, which makes this book look fantastic. The cover is pleasing to the eye.

These mangas are so cute. I really enjoy them especially when I'm in a reading slump.

After being blown away by the arc involving the introduction of Sailor Saturn, I feared that the series would only go downhill from there since that arc was just so perfect, I couldn't see how it could possibly be topped. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the case with this volume.
The Dark Moon plot was all together lackluster and almost a carbon copy of the popular fairytale of Sleeping Beauty. Nothing felt original, the dream/nightmare sequences were confusing and difficult to follow, I often couldn't tell what was happening in the physical world and what was happening in the dreams. While the previous volume made up for a dull, superficial enemy with absolutely superb character development, this volume didn't even have that to hold it together.
The introduction of dwarf planet and asteroid sailor guardians was completely unnecessary and just too much. If every chunk of rock in the universe has a sailor guardian, that really diminishes the power and importance of the planetary guardians. It's a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen (or too many characters in the book). I didn't like the look of the new guardians, either.
It pains me to give such a harshly negative review on a series I love so much, but the only good thing I can say about this volume is that I was happy it ended this story arc.

Muy bonito.
Me encantó el reino de Mamoru, Golden Kingdom. Él no tenía demasiada historia de vida pasada más que el romance con Usagi, nunca se había explicado cómo era que protegía la Tierra.
Por fin se profundiza más sobre ciertas cosas del Silver Milenium, y eso incluye un momento llamativamente similar a un cuento de hadas popular. Quiero imaginar que fue intencional.
Me emociona (como si fuera una nena de nuevo) ver cómo Sailor Moon se vuelve cada vez más poderosa, y al mismo tiempo me da nostalgia porque ya falta muy poco para que se termine.
La verdad que el manga no puede ser más diferente del primer anime, y me sorprende que no haya habido un spin-off de Chibi-Usa ya grande.

did you see all the fractured sleeping beauty stuff going in this volume? i'm into it. sleeping beauty's a tricky fairytale for me because i'm drawn to it in a way that keeps me imagining ways to fix it. i think that's probably how a lot of people feel about hades and persephone, if the number of retellings it gets is any indication
anyways what i generally obsess over is the sleeping for a hundred years till the prince kisses her awake bit. it reduces her to passivity and the kind of dude who goes about kissing sleeping strangers does not seem like good husband material, you feel me? (to say nothing of earlier versions where he does more than just kiss. :l waking up to two children a rapist impregnated you with is my idea of a horror story, not the start to a happy ending)
but! sailor moon is great because it's basically like i'll call you your curse and raise you a lol, you think you've got that kind of control over destiny, no one messes with the sailor crew. when we wake up it's through friends and cats! friends who are cats even!
(digression: did you see human!luna this volume, wow, what a hottie. congratulations on your face my friend! how did you get your hair so gorgeous, inquiring minds want to know)
also it's like well if there's going to be magical kisses to be had, it ought to be the princess kissing a prince. who know each other and have already established a baseline of being down with kissing. also magical healing while we're at it
for those who need confirmation: yes, i think helios and rin will be very cute indeed once she's a bit older. she kissed him awake! proper happy making fairytale material, that is
swapping gender roles makes me deeply happy. speaking of, i was super into the storyline mamoru had this volume and the previous one! d'you know how much shonen i've read where the few female characters angst over how their weakness is dragging the team down and vow to do their best to catch up and support their male counterparts? SO MANY. COUNTLESS COUNTLESS TALES. i don't have anything against the idea in itself but when that's what every single girl gets you start wanting to hit authors in the head until they let a girl be strong already. -cough-masashikishimoto-cough- and sailor moon's like, okay but our girls are badass, mamoru ought to have that storyline. thanks naoko takeuchi, you give me much healing :D
3.5 stars

Wir alle tragen einen Stern in unserer Brust, der leuchtet. - Das ist so ein grundlegend schöner Gedanke! Mir gefällt dieser Band ganz besonders gut. Das könnte an den flüchtigen Blick auf Chibiusas Zukunft liegen. Ich mag die ganze Geschichte so richtig gern! <3 :) Deshalb kriegt der Band auch 5 von 5 ☆☆☆☆☆. ;)

ATE ATE ATE DOWNNNNNNN! Can’t wait to watch this animated. Like Chibi truly has her own set of soldiers. I wish one day we’ll get a manga saga dedicated to her. But lowkey the way mamoru become the king ate. The amount of differences this manga had alone…… they deserved better.

The storyline in this one was a little bit messy and repetitive. And frankly all the powers and designations and such are getting so convoluted. It's entertaining and dramatic, but also things changing so fast was giving me whiplash.
I just wish the pacing would slow down, characters and plots had time to develop and we had time to spend and get to know them all the scouts and characters instead of just watching them go from one battle to the next without a single break in between.

Me quedan dos tomos y no entiendo cómo es posible. Este hubiera sido un buen final. Quizá un tomo más, para despedir caminos, ver un poco cómo quedaba pero ¿dos? veremos qué pasa.

Another awesome power-up for Sailor Moon, this time with wings! I adore that once again it is the Sailor Scouts friendship that defeats the evil monsters. It's their love for one another, that prompts them to set aside all selfish ambition and weakness, and devote themselves entirely to protecting one another and the world. You can't go wrong when "Love conquers all" is the theme of your story.
"Mamo-chan" and Usagi are so cute and sweet in this volume! I love seeing their devotion to one another. And I'm so stinking relieved that Chibi-Usa has found another object (Helios) for her creepy child-crush. She was weirding me out.
Sailor Saturn is utterly amazing! I just love her character. She's seriously fierce and determined. All the Sailor Scouts are really cool in this volume, and we get to see the cats in their human form for the first time.
I really loved the plot, with the final battle against the Dark Moon kingdom, and the mysteries of Elysium revealed. Really good story line, and very enjoyable! Beautiful artwork too, and I love all the Sailor Scouts pretty dresses.

This volume concludes the storyline that corresponds with the anime "Sailor Moon SuperS." The four arcs that I've read so far have all followed the same pattern, but the epic conflict always plays out very differently, so it isn't like reading the exact same thing over and over.
As usual, questions come up like "Where are we again? Inside the Earth, on its surface, or in some other dimension?" and they are difficult or impossible to answer. Best to just enjoy, and not worry about that too much. I do like the idea of Chibi-Usa .

It was so great to dive back into this world full of magical girls and superpowers and girls fighting for the people on earth.
I especially liked the following about this volume:
- Helios and Elysion
- Eternal Sailor Moon
- the little love story between Chibiusa and Helios
I am now eager to read the last two volumes to finally finish this manga series that I've been loving since I was seven years old.

I’m so sad this arc is finished.
The Dead Moon Circus will always be my favourite story of the entire series.
Helios is my boyfriend, Chibi-Usa and Helios are my OTP, I love the Amazon Quartet and Trio... I just love everything about it.

Cerramos un arco maravilloso con las diez guerraras unidas. Mucha acción y un no parar. Me gusta mucho ver como tanto las heroínas como las villanas son mujeres, el poder se reparte entre ellas. Mola mucho eso. A ver que trama deparan los dos últimos tomos. ¡A por el úndecimo!

There's a lot going on in this volume. We finally learn more about Helios and Elysion. (I also want to take a moment and just say that Usagi and Mamoru were super cute in her dream.) Then there's a big fight and everyone gets sucked into nightmares (which were quite creepy) until Tuxedo Masks gets them all to snap out of it...by slapping them. Eventually Sailor Moon goes into the mirror and meets Queen Nehelenia (I noticed they spelled it with only one "L," though I've usually seen it spelled with two). After she rescues Saturn and Chibi-Moon, everyone eventually transports to Elysion to fight. We get a big, long flashback and basically we find out that Nehelenia's pissed because she didn't get invited to Princess Serenity's party and then she put a curse on the Princess and the Silver Millenium and this is basically the plot of Sleeping Beauty. I felt a little "eh" about the whole thing, to be honest. Though I did really like seeing everyone's Princess forms.
But can I just take a minute to talk about how weird human-Artemis's clothes are? I mean, like, why is there a little circle to show his bellybutton? And what's with all the weird straps that look like they belong to a garter belt? Okay, I'm done.
And, of course, it is always cool to see a new incarnation of Sailor Moon, this time we see Eternal Sailor Moon. I've always thought this was the most beautiful version of her fuku. I also loved seeing Mamoru release the power of the Golden Crystal, along with the other senshi's crystal powers, to help create her new form.
Does anyone else find a lot of their battle phrases to be really weird? Most of them are okay, but Eternal Sailor Moon's new battle cry is one of the strange ones: Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss. Ooookay...
Also - was Zirconia basically the true form on Nehelenia? She wound up looking like her, and we never found out what really happened to Zirconia...Weird.
It was fun to see the true form of the Amazonness Quartet. I already knew what it was, but it was still exciting to see the other reactions to the reveal. I also liked the little flashback to little Princess Serenity talking to Queen Serenity after a bad dream. I sometimes wish we had more stories from back then. It also occurred to me (not for the first time) that they never have said anything about Princess Serenity's father. I wonder who he was and what happened to him...
Anyway, this was a nice conclusion to the Dream Arc. There was so much beautiful art in this volume. Not just in the story itself, but the art at the start of each act. One of my favorite pictures was used before Act 46, Dream 8, with Usagi, Chibi-Usa, Mamoru and Diana sleeping. You can see it here if you're not familiar with it. Of course it's not in color in the book, but still, it's beautiful. The princesses are also drawn beautifully, as well as Menaeds, the Elysion priestesses. I know other sites spell their name differently, but the translation notes gave a great explanation as to why it was spelled this way.
Speaking of translation notes...remember how volume 9 had panel numbers in the translation notes? Well, issue 10 doesn't have them. So much for a new, neat addition. Ah well, at least this volume had them!
I did consider dropping my review down to 4 stars because I felt like the whole Sleeping Beauty storyline was cliché and unoriginal. However, I eventually decided that I'm just so excited to read the manga, and that it's just so beautifully illustrated that I could forgive a bit of cliché in the storyline. I admit that I'm biased.

I love the Dream Arc. I just love love love the Dream Arc. It might top my love for the Death Busters Arc at this point.
I also love Naoko Takeuchi‘s artwork unconditionally.
There is just something so magical about this manga that just sucks you in even if you know the story. It’s still enchanting and refreshing.
The conclusion to the Dream Arc is something of epic sorts. From the Outer Senshis showing up, Chibiusa and Hotaru reuniting, all Senshis fighting together, Luna, Artemis and Diana becoming human (Diana and Chibi-Chibi look oddly similar, right?) the reveal of the new Senshis and the big showdown, everything is brilliant.
I also think the Sleeping Beauty parallel with Nehelenia and Serenity is a very nice and well done twist.
And if you only know the old Anime, you be happily surprised that Mamoru is actually useful in this version. And it’s awesome. Usagi and Mamoru prove again why they are one of Anime’s power couples.
Speaking of, as weird as I still think the whole Chibiusa/Helios story started out, it is really adorable and he is a great character.
I know there is still the Sailor Stars Arc, but honestly, if that would have been the conclusion to the story it would have been a fantastic ending. But hey, more time with the girls is more than fine.

Wow that was even better than the previous volume. The battle against Queen Nehelenia was intense. It was interesting to see Luna, Artemis, and Diana in their human forms; Luna is even more gorgeous as a human. I was happy with the conclusions for all the characters even the Quartet. This was one of the most satisfying endings of the sailor moon manga but considering there's two more volumes to go and that this last battle was intense enough, that makes me a little scared of what's about to happen next. O.O
May 24, 2022
OHHHHH I love the really cool ending scene at the end of this arc too! Especially when all of the senshi harness their powers together, and with the power of friendship they defeat Queen Nehelenia and free Helios. I know that in this arc Chibi-Usa was given a prince charming (kind of) with Helios, but I gotta admit that she and Hotaru would be cute together when when they grow up haha. Am I the only one? Maybe but who cares, I do enjoy this series and I will be excited to watch this arc as well as the Cosmos arc get animated or reanimated. :)
May 12, 2015
Beautiful artwork, as always, but I felt like a lot of panels in this volume didn't flow well. Many scenes would jump to other locations or characters, or memories, and it wasn't always clear when a shift had happened. This volume felt more disjointed than the rest.

So intense and so different from the show! (The subbed version, not the dubbed one.)
