1st day of Manga Advent Calendar 2015


Hello everyone, as I said in my Battle Royale Review I was going to do a manga advent calendar. I will be reviewing all of my purchases of manga for this year within my advent calendar and every day there will be a new spotlight manga that I will talk about and why I bought it.

 

So for the first day of Advent I will be bringing to your attention Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, the remastered 2003 version which I bought as part of a set of 6 volumes. The reason why I bought this large collection of Sailor Moon volumes is because I was always a fan when I was younger, as it was one of the first anime I was shown to masquerading as a cartoon (the classic magical girl anime trope was made popular within this manga) I was super excited for the release of Sailor Moon Crystal which is basically a remastered version of the original series, without all of the unnecessary filler which as a child would have been fascinating to watch but being much order now I see it as a time wasting activity.
 
The plot of Sailor Moon is simple to understand though it gets complicated the further down the rabbit hole you go. The basic plot is Usagi becomes a force of justice known as Sailor Moon, her job is to find the rest of her comrade’s and help save the Earth. There are several different parks that I own but as we are looking at the first volume I will not overcomplicate things. In the first volume we are introduced to Sailor Moon, Tuxedo mask, Ami Mizuno aka Sailor Mercury, Rei Hino aka Sailor Mars, Makoto Kino aka Sailor Jupiter and Luna the cat who acts as a guardian for the team. In terms of reading material it is all straight to the point in concise with the plot which was one of the main problems I had with the original series looking back. This manga is a favourite of mine not only for the nostalgia but also for the inclusion of an additional pack of six stickers that came with the set.
This is the advent calendar for today and I hope you will read in for tomorrow’s advent manga selection I will give you a hint for reference for tomorrow. The main character within this manga is a clean freak. That is all the hint I will be giving tune in for tomorrow’s blog post to find out if your suspicions about what manga I selected was correct.

Bye now Regards Fiona
