A review by mehsi
Sailor Moon, Volume 5 by Naoko Takeuchi

3.0

The conclusion to the Black Moon saga (and the beginning of a new one I am guessing, these poor girls never have a moment rest). I disliked Chibi-Usa so so so much. I get that she wants to be an adult, it must be horrible to be 900 years old and not get bigger. But bitch, no. The things she did in this one were just horrible. She is selfish, horrendous, and should understand things a bit more. And oh boy that incest. Girl, I get that you are infatuated with your daddy, but oh no you don't do shit like this. That is just gross disgusting. This was a tough volume to read. I didn't like that Chibi-Usa got to have powers. It felt a bit like, aww you poor poor thing, you did shitty things but it is OK, you had a harsh past. Here some magical powers to make things go away.
I loved how the Dark Moon saga ended though, and I loved the love and compassion that Usagi showed in this one. Wiseman was just freaking creepy and a manipulative ass.
I felt so sorry for Pluto. The decisions she had to make in this one were heartbreaking.
I wasn't happy with the ending. Could we please just have a volume or two without that little brat? Please? Please?
Gorgeous art though, it just pulls you in.
