Review |
I'm not a particular fan of this (as anime) but how nice to have a volume of the original shoujo manga. The artwork, obviously shoujo, is nothing special, but it didn't stop the ditzy heroine finding her way to the hearts of millions of Japanese girls and women. I used to attend a Japanese language evening class, and one of my classmates was a woman with long blonde hair who had lived in Japan for a year with her family. Though she is not an anime or manga fan at all, during a festival the local housewives talked her into dressing up as Usagi/Sailor Moon.
This first volume introduces Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and the Tuxedo Mask character. |
