My first approach to sailor moon ever!!! I'm named after Usagi (she's Serena in the latino dub) and it felt like something I had to do at some point. And I guess this was it!!! Over the past year I've reconnected with anime and manga and japanese culture in general (I'm even learning the language lmao) so this felt like the perfect timing.

The argentinian (IVREA) translation had some really bad fuck ups. Luna calls Usagi the F gay slur because she cries a lot. Like, really REALLY bad fuck ups. But that's the translator's fault, not the source material, so I'm kinda not counting it. If it's a recurring thing, I'll stop buying the series from them.

Tuxedo mask is literally the "but you didn't do anything" meme and it's sO FUNNY istfg teenagers are hilarious once you grow up a bit. Usagi literally falls in love with the dude and can't recognize his face with a mask off. Like. Comedy gold. Maybe it's intentional. I'd like to think it is.

Anyway I had no idea about the plot so this was good!!! overall!!!!! I guess!!!!!!

Sailor Moon es seguramente unos de mis manga favoritos y no es porque la trama sea especialmente llamativa: historias de chicas con vida normal que resultan tener poderes mágicos y se transforman en justicieras para luchar contra el mal hay a millones.

Lo que me cautivó de esta historia son los personajes y su profundidad. Para empezar, todas son mujeres fuertes, tanto por dentro como por fuera, inteligentes e independientes. No dependen de los hombres para que las salven ni los necesitan para defender a toda una galaxia. En cambio, al mismo tiempo son muy humanas y muy reales: todas tienen sus miedos, sus inquietudes, sus deseos…

Disfruté mucho releyendo esta historia, que había leído por primera vez hace años, y os la recomiendo, si no la habéis leído nunca.

La mitad de este primer tomo se centra en cuatro historias cortas, cuya protagonista es Chibiusa, y la segunda mitad se centra en tres historias, cuyas protagonistas son las cuatro sailor más cercanas a Sailor Moon, en su forma terrestre: Ami (Sailor Mercury), Makoto (Sailor Jupiter), Rei (Sailor Mars) y Minako (Sailor Venus).

No aporta nada a la trama principal del manga, pero las historias son muy entretenidas. Son cortas, apenas 20 páginas cada una, así que se leen muy rápido. A los amantes de Sailor Moon les encantará reencontrarse con todos los personajes y ver cómo los secundarios se convierten en protagonistas durante unos minutos.

Y si no habéis leído Sailor Moon, os la recomiendo.

Es mucho más que ese anime que veíamos cuando éramos pequeños.
