What an awesome arc! I love that Chibi Usa finally got a chance to really shine AND her own prince. Love having the outer planet sailors back too AND OMG the amazon girlies!! Love that surprise! The bonus stories were also really fun and adorable. Excited for the next volume!

This might be the weakest entry yet, but I still enjoyed it and plan to finish the series in it's entirety.

I think my main qualms always deal with Chibi-usa.

In case anyone reading this cares about spoilers:

She's 900+ years old, but stuck in the body of a child, so she's treated like a child, but also weirdly sexualized.  Her relationship with her future dad Mamoru is full of cringey infatuation (until she sees a cute boy and then that finally tones down).  Her entire personality is to be Usagi but worse, since her goal is to "grow up" and "be a real lady".  I guess in this volume the technical age gap between her and Helios is only ~100 years, but if they were to meet up again in the 30th century (her real current time) he would be ~2000 years older than her, but also, why does she need a potential love interest.  Oh, not Chibi-usa related, but another gripe I have is that Usagi and Mamoru get shrunk by the enemy but then they are almost immediately are restored by Helios.  I know the outcome was that Helios used up the last of his power and exposes Elysium but like, why have that consequence come about that way?  I probably have more that I'm forgetting while I write this, but it's already quite long.

Le tome qui signe la résolution face à l'ennemi du Cirque Dead Moon mais qui donne également des éléments du passé, de la vie antérieure de Sailor Moon.
Un tome intéressant qui nous permet également de découvrir des pages de la vie du quotidien des sailors avec de courtes histoires les mettant en scène dans leur vie du quotidien.
Un huitième tome dans la lignée des précédents.

The pegasus thing continues to be ridiculous and the "golden crystal" is clearly a desperate plea to make Mamoru relevant to the story line. BUT. The Amazoness Quartet and their backstory is pretty cool (and they are so much cooler than Sailor Chibi Moon) and the bonus stories that are included in this volume really save it, as does the inclusion of the Outer Senshi. In fact, the bonus stories were so delightful I'm bumping this rating up significantly from vol. 7, which covered the first half of this story arc.
