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.
Bye now Regards Fiona
