Sailor Saturn, patron saint of goth girls everywhere.
Also, this volume really drove home (again) for me how much more adult (and at times rather horrific and violent) Sailor Moon could be, which it never got credit for later on, so often dismissed as flighty girls' fare. These ladies go through a lot, and are badasses always; respect!

I really enjoyed the main stories in this volume, as well as one of the two extras. But once again they had to throw in a story featuring the cringe child crushing on her father storyline. Why do they keep doing this? Ugh.

this new edition continues to be just stunning . . . and creepy as hell, something that has always made me love SM.

I was already enjoying this volume, and then to find the Sailor Moon S: Hearts In Ice movie source material in this volume’s short stories? Made my night. Luna’s love story is so touching. Combine that with the snowy environment and the astronauts and it’s a beautiful Kate Bush song waiting to happen. Okay, time to rewatch the movie yet again.

Ok, I need two more series now! I need to the Silver Millennium in the past, and then a fun spin off of Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru raising Hotaru!
The outer senshi bring this series to a darker place with higher stakes, and I'm enjoying it!

Another enjoyable volume. There’s more exposition in this one, but I still enjoyed the conflict between the outer solar Sailor Scouts and the inner circle. I remember the film on this arc and I really liked Hotaru’s story. Of course, all the added stories in the anime made Usagi and Chibiusa’s relationship appear more developed so it’s easier to understand her feelings for her than in the manga.
Sidenote: I didn’t remember the story with Usagi and Haruka going quite like this. Also, I line that 2 16 year olds decided to raise a baby and no one bat an eye.

5 stars for bonus stories! I love this one! It has everything! Super Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Saturn, and Princess Kaguya! Although, Chibi Usa's continued crush on Mamo-chan is creepy.

Najlepsza część serii, nie tylko dzięki pojawieniu się Sailor Saturn, ale głównie przez historię dodatkową o księżniczce Kaguyi i Lunie.

Another great volume. So happy to fully have Saturn here now and really love her relationship with Chiba-Usa. Some of the short stories are in this volume as well and the Luna one is sweet. I love getting more from her and some from Artemis though I wish there was more of him as well. Can't go wrong with Sailor Moon.

The enemies for this arc still annoy me. Why did they not die last volume, and why did the same attacks actually kill them this time? More of this volume was about the battles than the last volume, so it was a bigger issue for me this volume.
The last two stories in this volume were very good. It was cool to read about the different real Japanese space organizations, even if some of the details of who would go to space were optimistic. Kakeru has an enlarged heart (Himeko promises she'll take him to space someday) and it's inferred Himeko is pregnant while she's on the mission.
I loved some of the art in this volume in particular. The big group color pages were beautiful, and the Sailor Super transformation panels are particularly magical.

The climax of the Infinity Arc is pretty great. We start with Chibi-Usa on death's door as things ramp up immediately. The Sailor Guardians band together in order to stop the Big Bad and Especially the Inner Guardians feel more present and useful than ever before. It really feels like the middle arc is where Naoko found her stride in terms of characterization and pacing. It's still a little abbreviated, but feels stronger than the previous two arcs.
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto continue to be GOAT'ed and Saturn steals the entire show. She has so much presence.
One thing I do wish was that the action scenes were a little more... action-y. Every enemy in the series is generally handled by someone (80% of the time that someone is Sailor Moon) using their attack one time and totally obliterating the enemy. At least in the 90s series the others had to weaken the monsters first.
Infinty's arc moves straight into the set-up for the next arc, Dream. Because of that, if this is your first time reading the story it might be confusing how this build-up of a solar eclipse will continue directly from at the 2/3 mork of the book, when there's other stories which appear in the collection after.
The first included side story is Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary 2. I liked this one a lot less than the previous Picture Diary, and it's kind of the reason I dropped a star. Technically, I wouldn't only dropped it half a star, but hey. That's the Goodreads system. Not much I can do about it. Anyways, the story in this one is fun tho the end gets really bizzare, even by Sailor Moon standards, and the antagonist being evil because it... encourages women to have careers and not need men... is uh. Something. Like, I get what they're going for-- misandry is bad (mmmkay) and both men and women are needed to propogate the species, but the antagonists being weird straw feminists in a series that celebrates so many forms of womanhood is not acute look. (Says a cis white guy, so take my opinion with a grain of salt)
The second story is The Tale of Snow Princess Kaguya, which would be adapted into the Sailor Moon S anime film in the 90s. This story is pretty good. The best part is the heavy focus on Luna, who gets kind of sidelined for a majority of the plot. This story gives her much needed characterization. The story of the fragile Kakeru and the bold Hime is great and plays with traditional gender dynamics (and I'm such a sucker for strong gal + soft boi pairings) and overall, the two have a very nuanced relationship. Really dug it.
There's some especially gorgeous art here. The way Naoko draws the transluscent shawl on Kaguya is cool. Unfortunately, the antagonist herself is pretty one note. She's attracted to Kakeru's lonliness, which I thought was interesting, but not much else came about it. Her origins are very Sailor Moon lite, and though I think focusing on Luna and the two new human characters was the right call, it would've been nice to have more oomph behind the antagonist. Still! I really enjoyed the story, and I'm finding the manga more and more enjoyable the longer it goes on.

In regards to the main portion of the book, I liked it. It wasn’t my favorite installment, and sometimes I kind of got lost and confused. I couldn’t tell if that confusion was due to the actual plot line, translation issues, or my own comprehension issues, but in the end it mattered little. The story was still quite enjoyable and as usual, I adored the art.
As for the two short stories at the end of the book, I really enjoyed “Kaguya Hime’s Beloved” as it was really sweet and I loved the feminist, women in stem undertones. As an aspiring woman in aerospace, I appreciated Himeko’s persistance through a fight to be taken seriously in a male dominated field.
Unfortunately, I found the installment of “Chibiusa’s Picture Diary” to be lacking in terms of feminism. At one point Chibiusa calls out a Sailor Moon imposter, saying “Sailor Moon’s legs aren’t that chunky!” Then it progressed into a montage of the imposter crying over how “ugly” she looked like without makeup. I was hoping the short story would end with a lesson about inner beauty or something similar, or her coming to the realization that larger thighs and a lack of makeup don’t make her ugly, but instead it ended with the imposter girls husband claiming that although it would be nice to have a young girl with slender legs, he could settle for a “strong, practical woman” instead. As if slender women can’t be “strong” or larger women can’t be “nice”. That just didn’t sit right with me, but that story took up like 5% of the book max, so I didn’t really base my overall rating on it.

So the evil school and their evil space witches summon their big ugly evilness...and through the unlikely bond between a sad, sickly cyborg girl and a 900-year old grade-schooler from the future, the pretty soldiers of love & justice triumph.
...
Manga is truly wacky art innit?
And because things go on, a pegasus shows up out of nowhere to usher in the next arc asking for help from the Usagi girls.
But we ignore that to go on to two side stories that are very entertaining. One where master detective Chibi-Usa discovers that a Sailor Moon imposter is giving out cursed trinkets because this Sailor Moon actually has thick thighs! The other is an adaptation of the 2nd movie where Luna gets a crush on an astronomer with a hidden desire to go to the moon. But because weird stuff from space keeps coming, an evil comet unleashes her icy fury on the Earth and it's up to the magical girls to stop her so that the American moon launch can continue instead of turning their mission into another Armageddon.

J'enlève une étoile pour les deux hors séries de la fin qui me laissent.... Dubitative???
L'histoire principale en elle-même suit la trame que j'attendais. Après, j'ai quand même l'impression qu'il s'est pas passé grand-chose dans ce tome alors que c'est la conclusion. On tourne un peu en rond
Bravo au trouple de lesbienne qui a adopté un bébé cela dit.
Bon et les hors séries c'était un mélange de contes japonais, de sexisme d'un côté et de féminisme de l'autre bref on voit que les positions dans les années 90 étaient... Flous??
Ah et ça y est on va commencer l'arc de la horse girl era et j'ai très peur de ce que ça va rendre en manga 😭

The Mugen/Infinity story arc is concluded in these chapters, satisfactorily wrapping up one of the most exciting storylines so far, and concluding things in a way in which character development doesn't take a backseat to the action. Having all the sailor scouts of the outer planets present has made for great developments in the story, while the inner planet scouts still have plenty to contribute as well. There are bonus stories included here, a fun Chibi Usa entry as well as a thoroughly developed romantic astronautical Christmas tale.
This edition of the Eternal Edition includes chapters 34-38 of the original manga, as well as Chibi Usa’s Picture Diary, Chapter 2: Beware of Tanabata and The Love of Princess Kaguya.

Hotaru-chan's arc is the star of this volume, evening out the fight-heavy sequences which tend to go on a bit too long for me. I also adore Luna's mini-story about her crush! So cute.

Jam jest wysłanniczką z otchłani śmierci.
Niebezpieczeństwo, z którym muszą walczyć nasze wojowniczki staje się coraz bardziej silniejsze, a wygrana oddala się z każdym oddechem. Czy z otchłani może narodzić się cud?
Kolejny tom przygód Sailor Moon oraz wojowniczek, wydawało mi się że czekałam na niego wieczność, ale było warto, ten ark stał się jednym z moich ulubionych. Wreszcie pojawiła się na scenie Sailor Saturn - czekałam na nią z niecierpliwością, tak jak nie mogłam się doczekać na historię oblubienicy księżniczki Kaguyi i oczywiście nie zawiodłam się. Każda kolejna przygoda jest niesamowita ale niestety znowu przyjdzie nam poczekać na kolejny tom.

I Really enjoyed this volume & Re-reading the Infinity Arc & some of the Dream Arc & Short Stories with new English translation & new artwork! also it's some of my favorite parts of the series too & So happy Sailor Moon is finally available to read digitally like this, Thank you so much, Kodansha & Naoko Takeuchi! Definitely recommend if you love Sailor Moon & if you either haven't read the manga series or if you have already too - to Re-read or also if you are new to Sailor Moon & want to get into the series or if you love Shoujo / magical girl type series! 🥰💖💖

This is my favorite volume so far. I am absolutely in love with Chibi-Usa and Hotaru’s love story. There was less random diatribe about villain inner politics and more character building and heart this time. Good good. (I can’t believe I loved Sailor Moon this much growing up and never read/watched this far in the series. Though to be fair, the anime was only on tv through R and there was no manga at all published in the US back then)

Who is the Sovereign of silence? Are the Outer Solar system Scouts friend or foe? The demons sent out by Professor Tomoe are wrecking Tokyo to get haste for Pharoah 90. Can Usagi and the gang save the world again.
This volume has the return of Sailor Pluto. And we learn about the final scout, Sailor Saturn.
