The first thing that stands out is the cover. ![]() ![]() So out of curiosity, I purchased the first volume of the new publication, celebrating the series’ 20th Anniversary, to see what we might be getting in the future in the U.S. Now, you might ask, what’s the point of buying a manga I can’t even read? Well, I loved the new and improved Sailor Moon publication we got in U.S., but I was surprised to hear that those volumes were originally published in Japan in the early 2000’s. Among some small figures and other things, I ended up buying a Japanese volume. Until then, I’ve been looking into collecting Sailor Moon merchandise. I was never a big fan of the original anime for its deviation from what I personally consider to be the better story of the manga, but I’m excited to see a new adaptation of the show that has had the most influence on my love for comics. Its second publication in America beat Naruto and Attack on Titan for the top selling manga of 2013 in the United States of America and an all new anime is set for release in July, 2014. It’s been nearly seventeen years since the Sailor Moon story ended, but the sensation’s not going away any time soon. The last Sailor Moon volume was published in 1997. ![]()
