Where do I even begin? This is definitely my favorite in the series thus far, mostly because my favorite Scout is finally introduced, but also because Chibi-Usa is a little less clingy with Mamoru (a little) and it’s becoming a little more difficult to determine who the enemy is and what their intentions are—there’s a lot more mystery in this one.

Also, um, hooray for the first canon genderqueer character I’ve ever known (albeit not knowing she was GQ until now, because it’s kinda glossed over in the show)!

When all seems to be quiet and peaceful a new enemy appears that has to do with the Mugen Academy. I definitely loved that the Death Busters are here! And I am also delighted to meet Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto! I am not sure how I felt about Haruka at times, her flirting with Usagi was just a bit too cringy for me giving that Usagi is in a relationship (I feel sorry for Usagi that everyone tries to kiss her without her permission). Plus later on Haruka says: “Stop hanging out along my route home. I might take advantage of you.” Wtff?? That is just a big no in my book. I also get pain in my boobs, as Haruka has (given some images) quite the boobs, but since she generally walks around dresses as a male (and everyone calls her that) she must have strapped in those boobs, ouch. There are some plotholes that had me rolling my eyes. Also you would think that Chibi-Usa knows better than to show her true identities to everyone, but apparently she doesn’t care (and she should just not walk away from things if she has appointments with people). I know that Hotaru is x, but Hotaru doesn’t know that and for now she may not even be Hotaru completely. I did think the friendship between them was sweet. I did think it was hilarious that the girls thought that Uranus and Neptune could be enemies (and even thought one of them was a Tuxedo Mask).
There was a lot of excitement and we learn tons of things about our new enemies. I love Witches 5, and their design was fantastic. Though I did think it was hilarious that there was one for each senshi.

This one wasn’t as captivating as the last few and the series is starting to feel repetitive. I did like how Usa and Mamo had to go through their first trial as a couple and the introduction of a non binary character did add something new. I really like Haruka in this better than the anime.

 Sailor Moon was the first anime I started watching. I have been a fan for a long time. I absolutely love this series!

This volume is one of the rare ones that starts off rough, but the ending makes up for it. The entire first half is built on a shaky and confusing plot. Not a lot of the dialogue really makes sense and I don't think it's just the translation. As it progresses, the volume picks up some clarity and works its magic in creating another gem. I love the arrival of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus, absolute icons. Their interactions with Usagi are golden and really made it worth reading.
