Codename: Sailor V Eternal Edition 2 (Sailor Moon Eternal Edition 12) by Naoko Takeuchi

tungstenmouse's review against another edition

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The last two chapters really carry this book. I wasn’t a fan of the anti-Chinese racism or some of the filler. But as an addition to the main Sailor Moon saga, it stands up and is a fun diversion.

Great conclusion to Sailor Vs side stories. Although the differ a little in tone from Sailor Moon, toward the end, they begin to match up.

The episode with the villain who made everyone chubby with evil chocolates was problematic, revealing Sailor Venus's fatphobia, but at this point, she's an immature middle schooler, so hopefully she'll grow up.

Oh I loved this. A couple crumbs of plot but what was there really interested me. Loved the revelations.

Enemy x heroine no matter how brief will always hit!

Really glad I read this before Sailor Moon as it really sets it up.

I remember someone saying recently that Takeuchi-sensei had more freedom to play around and make Codename: Sailor V more fun and silly, instead of what she went through creating the various Sailor Moon arcs.

Gli ultimi due capitoli sono molto interessanti perché gettano le basi della serie di Sailor Moon.
La saga dei animaletti è cringe quanto il suo titolo.

J'ai découvert ce manga durant mon adolescence et déjà à l'époque je l'avais aimé. Ici je peux dire que je l'apprécie toujours mais cette fois-ci avec quelques nuances. 
Il faut bien avouer qu'il s'est passé de nombreuses années depuis (presque 30 ans) et j'ai mûrie, j'ai vécue et je vois les choses différemment maintenant. Ce qui faisait battre mon cœur d'adolescente à l'époque (année '90) et ce qui le fait battre maintenant est légèrement différent.
Mais dans ce dernier tome l'ensemble reste très correct et surtout l'humour de V est sa non chalande donne toujours à sourire. 
Petit bémol sur la première histoire de ce tome qui m'a dérangé car à notre époque ce genre de propos ne passerais plus du tout. Mais il faut savoir remettre les écrits dans leur contexte et à leur époque.
