Summary: I give this book 5 stars!
Review: If you havent read this book, then get up and buy the book at the nearest bookstore. This is the best book you'll ever encounter. Because it is a manga, it beats all the other books that have long words in it. the book itself has lots of pretty pictures of your favorite scouts all in black in white. You wont regret this i promise. Well the story goes like this: Bunny is a fourteen year old teenage girl that meets a black talking cat named Luna. but luna claims that Bunny is the sailor suited warrior, sailor moon! Now Bunny must find her fellow scouts, mars, jupiter, mercury, and venus. she also has to beat the villians, find the silver imperium crystal, and protect the moon princess. Now thats a lot of orders! But as she fights her way through, she meets a mysterious guy named tuxedo mask, very handsome, she falls in love with him...

Summary: Very fun!
Review: It would be fair to say that every anime that has arrived in the united states on television has been received with wild success, including one of the first "Sailor moon". The popular T.V. show has been on the airwaves for over five years, and its age is starting to show. Art quality is constantly sacrificed, and some of the earlier episodes were certainly smarter (a vacuum cleaner monster?). Nonetheless the anime is still a delight to its fans, and with 100's of websites dedicated to the scouts, the popularity has not dissapeared.The manga is the product that started it all. Constantly referred to as a sole work of Naoko Takeuchi, from what I gather she did not actually decide the plot. Honestly, I resent "Sailor Moon". It's one of those things one would love to hate. And as much as I want to hate it, I delight in it. The simplistic idea of middle school girls transforming into sailor suited warriors is irresistible. The story is about young teen Bunny,(the original name was Serena, and the original Japanese name was Usagi) who is chosen by Luna the mystical cat of the moon to "locate the princess". Bunny is awarded magical powers that allow her to transform into a sailor suited beauty who can hurl a "Moon Frisbee" at her opponents and pop into different outfits as fast as one can flip the pages of a clothing catalogue. As the manga progresses, other young girls are chosen as Bunnys companions, such as Amy, girl genius. In terms of anime and manga, "Sailor Moon" is obviously unrealistic. Luna the cat actually types on a keyboard, and communicates with a the sailor scouts with a walkie-talkie that built to be held on ones head. Princess "D" looks short and chubby with her glasses on, but when she removes her glasses, she mysterouisly grows inches taller and becomes thin. Darien, the most desired man in Bunnys school, who is two years older than she, picks Bunny as his love? Why is it that Bunny and her companions wear no disguises in their sailor outfit, yet people don't even suggest that they are the same people? The undeniable campiness of "Sailor Moon" might be what gives it its charm. It's silly, but it's not stupid. The silliness may very well be what makes it so fun to read. The manga is a Shojo, a manga targeted toward girls. This is clearly evident in the plot, which told thru the eyes off Bunny herself. The plot is rather predictable, complete with a little humor, and Sailor moon constantly reciting the lines "Champion of justice and defender against evil" at the beginning of a battle. Bunny then screams and wines and the enemy uses a powerful attack. Bunny believes that the daunting task of defeating the enemy is impossible, but it is inevitable. Bunny throws her "Moon Frisbee" at the fiend and it dies. Being a Shojo, character development is paramount. I found all the characters to be pretty likeable. Even Bunnys whining did not subtract from the experience. To quote her self description, "I'm 14 and I'm in the 8th grade. I love eating, sleeping, and relaxing. I guess I'm a crybaby, but I'm an ordinary cute girl! At least I was......Because of this talking cat Luna, I became a champion of justice. Ooohhhhh how annoying!". Being a boy, I did not particulary feel the need to put my myself in the shoes of Bunny, but I imagine many girls can relate to Bunny and her companions. Amy was my personal favorite scout. She's the brainiac, the one who wants to be a doctor like her mother. Due to exhaustive studying, she is deprived of her social life, and has no friends. But then she meets Bunny.......... Then there is Raye, a priestess who discovers that she is one of the sailor scouts. Naoko Takeuchi herself admires Raye for her good looks and high heels. I rather liked Luna the talking cat, and felt for Bunny when she weeped. However, all the enemy's and supporting characters lacked any sort of depth. I would have liked to know a little bit more about Bunny's family. And one can only stand Bunny screaming "waaaaaa! why do I hafta fight! WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I can't do It! Sob Sob." for a certain amount of time. The art was pretty good for someone with no "formal art training". Character designs are pretty typical for an manga; big watery eyes and a thin body. The joyful expressions of Bunny are captured with the art, and the deformed versions of the characters are absolutely adorable. All in all, its a lovely book both girls and boys can enjoy. Or it almost is. I have no doubt why this book is so popular, but I do have doubts about Mixx's translation, which is sloppy and inconsistent. The page format is rather strange, formated in a way in which it is some times difficult to understand what is going on. Dialogue is constantly not logical and text runs off the page. Fonts and their size are poorly chosen and printed in incorrect order, And the sound effects are incorrect. "vrosh" "shoon" "Hash" "foop". It's a shame that Mixx had to lower the quality of the book with such disgraceful translation. Such a wonderful story does not deserve to be cheapened to such a level. Nonetheless, "Sailor Moon" is still a very fun tale. Purists will most likely vomit at this manga, but teenage, middle school girls will delight in this. Even boys will guiltily enjoy it like me. People who despise Mixx and like realism in their manga are better off leaving "Sailor Moon" alone.

Summary: Check out the French manga instead
Review: Mixx's English adaptation of Ms Takeuchi's classic manga (comic book) series falls far short of the original, using dub names and terms and mistranslating/ leaving out many things. I would suggest Glénat's French translation instead. I would also reccomend that fans (and non-fans) of the animated series read the manga to be shocked at how much better it is. I'm often surprised at the complaints about the English translation of the animation, where the animation did not stay true to the original manga in the first place.

Summary: The beginning of a masterpiece!
Review: This is the first book in one of the best shoujo (girl) mangas ever created! I highly reccomend Sailor Moon #1 to everybody (even guys)! This is one amazing comic book about a ditzy high school girl who finds out from a talking cat named Luna that she has magical abilities. The rest of the book goes on to show how Bunni copes with having some added responsibilities to her normal student life and how she makes some new friends that also share her special powers. And in the rest of the series, you witness Bunni's growth from a clumsy and insecure girl to a confident young woman who can always see the good in all people, no matter what they have done. This story will make you laugh one minute and cry the next! This is just one manga that you can't miss out on.

Summary: I Love This! (spoilers included
Review: Yes, this book is one of my favorites. It has it's similarities and differences to the manga. Similarites: It has the same plot same villians, same sailor scouts in order of appearences. But the differences are: The magna is intended for older people. Comparing this to the anime, it seems like that's more for younger kids{ except the original uncut version and special uncut of Sailor Moon}.
This book has a different beginning to the manga, and parts I'd wish they included in it. I think every time I read the manga I'll wish for that, because it's not just this one, it's the other ones to.
In this book, we meet Serena Tsukino{better known as Bunny, Usagi in the japanese version}. She meets a cat named Luna, who later bacomes Bunny's guardian cat. Luna gives Bunny a brooch{ the one that she has on on the front page, which I think looks prettier than the one in the anime}to tranform into the warrior for good, Sailor Moon to battle the evil forces { Bunny's only worring about the Dark Kingdom right now. The other senshi Mercury {Amy Mizuno, Ami in the japanese}, Mars {Raye Hino, Rei in the japanese}, Jupiter {Lita Kino, Makato in the japanese} appear. Sailor Venus {Mina Aino, Minako in the japanese} appears in the next book. So if you want to read a great manga, read this. Not just this manga, but all the other sm mangas,too.
