Although I found Chibiusa to be annoying in the show, I really enjoyed her role in the manga and I’m interested to see the path she will go on. I also love the main cast, and the romance is beautiful as always.

I think it’s interesting that Usagi can’t use the moon rod due to the malefic black crystal and her own lost heart, and that all she needs to do is just believe in herself and call upon her friends to lend her strength. I love how the central message of sailor moon is about believing in yourself and calling for support when you need it.
