Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - Eternal Edition 01 by Naoko Takeuchi
5.0
More like 4.5 stars.
This was my first foray into the Sailor Moon world. I’m not sure what I got myself into being that I'm not a comic / manga fan. I’m barely an anime fan (Hayao Miyazaki obsessed though). I’m more of a horror, supernatural graphic novel kind of fan. But my niece wanted this really bad for Christmas and I thought it would be cool to read something together. I’m so glad I did.
It took me a bit to get used to considering it reads back to front and right to left as standard for Japanese works. Usagi Chan was also a character I wasn’t too impressed with even when she became Sailor Moon. She cries way too easily and didn’t take things seriously at all. But then she grew on me and I couldn’t put it down. I started out loving Sailor Mercury, but then my favorite became Sailor Jupiter for obvious reasons as being the rebel, strong one. She's like Thor, but better. Lol.
The Eternal Edition is beautifully drawn and even though some of the translations don’t always flow, I definitely enjoyed it and want to read more!
