Ten Arc z Taksido jest tak piękny 🥺
September 21, 2017
As the cover suggests, the Outer Senshi is back! Setsuna is sensing danger and Haruka and Michiru are missing the other Scouts. Little Hotaru is growing fast as well, much quicker than normal. Now well past the age of a baby, she confronts her inner scout and once more is Sailor Saturn with a premonition about upcoming doom. The Outer Senshi join the battle against the Dead Moon Circus!
The story than shifts back to Sailor Venus and in an act of courage, Artemis transforms into a human to save her. It was rather romantic, really. Sailor Saturn and Sailor Chibi Moon dash off to investigate the Dark Moon's Queen, and Helios sacrifices himself to save the Prince and Princess.
While the themes of love, loyalty, and friendship in this volume were truly outstanding, the volume as a whole felt lacking. There is only one more volume in the SuperS series after this and I just...i don't know. After all the build up about the Outer Senshi these last two volumes, I figured they'd be more relevant than just screaming uselessly. :/ I am looking forward to the conclusion of this arc, however.

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!

"Sailor Moon: SuperS #3" es el décimo cuarto volumen, que recompila los capítulos del 39 al 40 del manga.
Mientras viven una vida tranquila en los suburbios, Hakura, Michiru y Setsuna (Uranus, Neptune y Pluto) se ven algo alarmadas por el crecimiento avanzado de Hotaru (Saturn) y como desde el eclipse solar han perdido las habilidades para convertirse en Sailor Guardians. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando Sailor Saturn finalmente despierta y le entrega sus nuevos corazones de cristales y les anuncia que Usagi y Mamoru están en peligro.
Por otro lado, las Sailor Guardians (Mercury, Mars, Jupiter y Venus) enfrentan al Cuarteto Amazonas, mientras que Usagi sufre las consecuencias de la enfermedad que atormenta a Mamoru. Cuando están a punto de ser derrotadas, las Sailor Guardians de la Constelación Exterior van a su ayuda junto a Usagi y Mamoru.
En un ataque combinado, tanto Usagi como Mamoru son enviados a una dimensión alterna donde Helios revela que el poderoso Cristal Dorado se encuentra dentro de Mamoru, y que solo el poder combinado de este con el Legendario Cristal de Plata serán capaces de destruir a la poderosa Reina Neherenia, líder del Dead Moon Circus.
En un intento de detener la batalla, Sailor Saturn y Super Sailor Chibi Moon confrontan al Cuarteto Amazonas para que despierten del control de Neherenia, sin embargo, cuando están por dar un paso al lado del bien, Zirconia les da un ataque final que las deja fuera de combate.
Una vez en la superficie, Super Sailor Moon y Tuxedo Mask se preparan para enfrentar al mal, cuando descubren que el mundo ha sucumbido al ataque de la Luna Nueva Oscura. Helios como último sacrificio, decide liberar todo el poder que le queda a Elysion para limpiar un poco el mundo exterior, lo que deja vulnerables y gracias a ello, Neherenia puede hacerse con ambos.
Finalmente, Zirconia le da la estocada final a Super Sailor Moon y Tuxedo Mask, dejando a la Tierra a voluntad de la Reina.

July 29, 2020Despite being a huge Sailor Moon fan, I have never read the manga before coming across this at one of my random trips to the used books store. I'm so glad my first one has the Outer Senshi on the cover bec they're my favorite. *that was also my deciding factor when it came to the damn-I-said-I'm-not-gonna-buy-any-more-books internal crisis. LOL)
So, bec this is already #3 of the SuperS arc (I'm still looking for the rest of the tankōbon edition books) the comic begins in the middle of the story. Hotaru is reincarnated to a mortal infant and Hikaru, Michiru and Setsuna take it upon themselves to take care of the baby. She grows up at a much rapid pace though (probably to fastrack her Sailor Guardian status) and then they join the other scouts in fighting against the Dead Moon Circus.
It then shifts back to Sailor Venus and somehow Artemis turns into a human to her rescue. There's also parts about Helios' sacrifice and other details that went over my head bec I haven't read the first few books. 😭
It is quite different from the anime (which I haven't rewatched properly yet, even the Crystal reboot) but it's still familiar and comforting. I have my nostalgia glasses on, so I'm admittedly biased, but the Sailor Moon franchise really is great. I didn't really know how much I missed it until I had it again, and experiencing the story in this format, in it's original (though translated) form gave me an even better appreciation of the brilliant and complex storytelling that made Naoko Takeuchi a truly one-of-a-kind mangaka.

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.

3.5 estrellas.
A pesar de la revelación final, que nos deja en un suspenso con el ultimo cuadro del manga, siento que en un punto muchaas cosas se ven saturadas, o un poco cliché.
Me gusta, la esencia sigue estando ahí, pero siento que esta siendo opacada por algunos detalles extras que no terminan de dejarme un gusto sobre lo que esta pasando.

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.

Sigo sin entender porque en el animé a Darien le sacaron tanto protagonismo y lo hacen parecer a veces un inutil, aca verdaderamente demuestra quién es y que puede luchar junto a Serena. Este tomo me enganchó mucho más que el anterior, y a demás a pesar del dramatismo de la situación me hizo reír el sueño de Serena.
¡Y por fin volvieron Setsuna, Hakura, Michiru y Hotaru! Le agregan un poco más de acción a la serie.

The Super S mission continues! :D The Outer Soldier are back, Artemis is awesome, Helios continues to be wonderful, and Sailor Moon & Tuxedo Mask have some lovely, heart-felt moments together.
Good times all around. The action really started heating up in this one, and one more volume for the conclusion. <3

favorite manga of all time!
February 27, 2014
Fun book - nice buildup of tension as the Outer Scouts and Venus battle through their own nightmares and Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask venture into Elysion. And that's one huge cliffhanger.
