Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal Edition, Vol. 1 by Naoko Takeuchi

Today's post is on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal Edition, Vol. 1 by Naoko Takeuchi. It is 304 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has Sailor Moon on it. The intended reader is someone who likes classic, groundbreaking shojo manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this series The story is told from third person close of mainly Usagi but some other characters pov's are added for plot. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

Blurb- The Guardians in sailor suits return in this definitive edition of the greatest magical girl manga of all time! Featuring an extra-large size, premium paper, and and all-new translation and cover illustrations by creator Naoko Takeuchi!
Teenager Usagi is not the best athlete, she's never gotten good grades, and, well, she's a bit of a crybaby. But when she meets a talking cat, she begins a journey that will teach her she has a well of great strength just beneath the surface and the heart to inspire and stand up for her friends as Sailor Moon!

Review- This is an incredible manga and an incredible edition. Usagi is a loafer, she just goes through life without much thought and no plans. When she helps a black cat, the cat, Luna, tells her that is a warrior called a Sailor Scout, in fact is the guardian of the moon, Sailor Moon. She has a lot to do now, she has to find the other sailor scouts, the silver crystal, and the princess! Add in Usagi over-blown romantic imagination and we have the most famous magical girl manga of all time. Everything about this manga is great, in my opinion, from the art, the plot, and the characters are just top of the line. Usagi is so cute, she is over her head but she is trying her best, even if that best is crying her eyes out. I have never read all of Sailor Moon and I look forward to following Usagi and her friends into an adventure that changed the face of an entire genre. 

I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
