Review:
I read volume two
of this forever ago (meaning: over the summer), and was a little blurry as to
what had happened, and I hadn’t reviewed it, but I didn’t want to re-read it.
So, I just went ahead and read this one. It took me a tiny bit of time to get
back into it, but once I was, it went by rather quickly.
I said in my first
review that I was impressed with this series, given how not impressed I had
been with the prequel and what little I had seen of the anime, and that’s still
true. I’m rather surprised with how good this series is, and really pleased and
enjoying it a lot.
In the last volume,
the evil Metalia turned Tuxedo Mask evil, which was horrible, and I thought he
would be stuck that way for several more volumes, but he changed in this
volume. I was very pleasantly surprised by this, but am so glad, since he’s one
of my favorite characters, if not my actual favorite.
There was some
fighting with Queen Metalia, and she started darkening the world for a bit
before she was overthrown. I wasn’t surprised by this when it happened, but was
curious as to where the series was going to go from there. The girls all got
more powerful after that happened, the crystal was fixed and the moon kingdom
was repaired. The girls have a tiny bit of time to relax, and then a little
girl, claiming her name is Usagi, interrupts Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask by
falling from the sky and landing on top of them. Also, a man, who I believe to
be Sailor Mars’ love interest, shows up, named Asanuma, and I’m looking forward
to the development there.
A new enemy shows
up, and the goings-on seem to be very much like what happened with Metalia.
Including some kidnappings, another thing I’m suspecting is going to happen
often. I hope something happens to shake the story up, but I’m kind of
expecting nothing will. Still, I’m enjoying it.
I still don’t think
I know any of the girls enough to say who I like most and who I don’t. I have a
soft spot for Venus, and I enjoy reading all of the love stories, and am
looking forward to reading more of those in future volumes. I’m having a hard
time remembering what all of their names are, and am just getting down what
planet they are.
I’m interested to
find out more about little Usagi, since she seems to maybe be lying, and she’s
lost, and I really want to know what her connection with Sailor Moon is. I
really like Tuxedo Mask, but I’m not a fan of any of his names. There’s
Endymion, his past name, Mamo-chan (as Sailor Moon calls him, but I guess
Mamoru is all right), his present name, and then Tuxedo Mask, his superhero
name, which I maybe like most, but still think should be Tuxedo Man.
Overall, I rather
enjoyed this volume. There was a bit of a cliffhanger, and I’m looking forward
to reading the next book.
