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.
¿Quién no conoce ''Sailor Moon''?

Review for complete series



I have been an avid manga reader for close to 12 years now and yet I have never had any connection to the Sailor Moon universe; When it was shown on TV in Europe I moaved to New Zealand and by the time I went back to Europe Sailor Moon was long gone. With that, I only got my hands on copies of the Sailor Moon manga series about 20 years after its first release.

Sailor V is a lovely prequel to Sailor Moon. I love when stories have crossovers or when characters make a guest appearance. It was always fun discovering Usagi and the others in the odd panel here and there. I believe the Sailor Moon universe was mainly created for a younger audience. For those who are a bit older, it may be more difficult to connect with this story if one, like me, has not grown up with it.

But nonetheless, as long as you do not take it too seriously and pin down everything that does not make sense (after all – it is a magical girl shoujo manga… they hardly ever make much sense) it can be a very enjoyable read. Minako is a nice lead character who is both feminine and strong and always delivers hilarious scenes. Naoko Takeuchi’s artwork is gorgeous. Some years back I did not appreciate older manga style as much as I do these days but I had to stop on so many pages to admire her line art – she always manages to make sure graceful poses for her characters as well as the movement of hair and clothing!

I thought the ending was rather sad despite the overall comedic tone of the manga. Still – I thought it was a lovely setup for its transition to the sequel.

P.S.:
I feel lucky to own the older 3 Volume edition as I find the cover art to be so much nicer.

I read this book as a teen. I enjoyed it very much. Its a continuation of Minako adventures as a Sailor V , and her life as a school girl and after school life. The illustrations are pretty. In whole 3 volumes of Sailor V manga books You can find Sailor Senshi and Usagi in school uniforms, so Minako met them somewhere in Tokyo by accident. What is very nice while reading the books :)

Good - I really enjoyed it.

Serial ini diterbitkan di Indonesia setelah serial Bishojosenshi Seramun alias Sailor Moon.

Serial ini merupakan semacam cerita pendahuluan untuk serial Sailor Moon.
