Review |
This is an English version of the very well-known shoujo manga, (also a TV series) and since I already reviewed the Japanese version in my Shoujo Manga section, I don't feel the need to say too much. This featured episode, in which Amy's powers are revealed, and she joins the Sailor Scouts, is obviously from near the beginning of the story. The translation, by Stuart J Levy, renders the dialogue into American adolescent-speak, which you may or may not feel is a good thing. If you are a Sailor Moon fan, and want to collect a manga of it that you can read, or you just want an introduction to Sailor Moon, then this is for you.
If you are interested in graphic design you'll find this a textbook example of the way that shoujo artists break out of the confines of picture frames and dialogue bubbles to give a much more interesting page design. The character drawings also have that characteristic wispy shoujo look. I've always liked the Sailor Moon characters; it's only the battle scenes that are a bore.
