Mais um grande livro desta série. A continuar assim esgoto as 5 estrelas heheNeste volume continuamos a luta contra os vilões da Black Moon e tudo parece ir de mal a pior. Para além de que o final dá a entender que as coisas ainda devem ficar mais negras.As navegantes estão todas em sarilhos (excepto Vénus), especialmente Sailor Moon, como Princesa Serenity, pois foram todas levadas pelo inimigo para Nemesis. Chibi-Usa também fez asneira e está agora prestes a ser levada para o lado negro.Vamos lá ver o que se vai passar no volume seguinte, e que papel terá a Sailor Plutão (apresentada neste 4º livro). I am reviewing all of the Sailor Moon (new English translation) volumes in order, please check out the first 3 for my initial and overall thoughts on the series.So far, this has been my quickest read of the 4 volumes, but it's also the most confusing in terms of time and dimensional paradoxes - ie. the episodes where Neo-sailor moon in a comatose state while Mamochan of the future speaks to Mamochan of the past, and the black moon clan, who seems to be living in some alternate dimension and time-jumping to retroactively destroy the earth. It's all very fast-paced as well, so if you're not paying attention you can lose a handle on what's happening really quickly.Mars, Mercury, and eventually Jupiter's kidnappings were really poorly written, and the sub-plot's only real motivation was getting the unnecessary characters out of the way so we could focus on the important stuff. This felt a little lazy and forced to me. Why do we need to introduce Sailor Pluto, the future Neo Queen & King, and Chibi-Usa's background when there's already so much going on! Usagi's homelife is mentioned for about 2 pages in this volume, where we see that her friends sense something is going on with her. Really??? No kidding! Shouldn't they be wondering where her beautiful gang of mysterious friends are, too?I did fall in love with the character of Sailor Pluto, though. She's taken from a really old epic archetype of the gatekeeper, the watcher, the guardian of the gate of hades. She's warm and friendly yet firm and authoritative. I couldn't help but wonder - does she spent 100% of her time alone standing at the gate? It's sort of tragic in a way. Also, why do they make her black/brown in the manga but in all colorized versions she's white?I know from the anime that Chibi-Usa sticks around and lives with Usagi permanently, but I'm really curious to see how they justify this choice in the next volume.Happy reading!
What do You think about Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 04 (2012)?
This is a review for all 12 volumes.I grew up watching the anime version of Sailor Moon. I have been enjoying watching Sailor Moon Crystal and the old episodes of Sailor Moon on Hulu. When I discovered that my local library had the manga, I had to read it. These books are so much fun and ridiculous. I will caution the prospective reader that the manga is a bit disjointed at times. The original anime did a much better job at character development than the manga. Even though the series is a bit silly, I can see myself rereading these books on an annual basis, because they are super easy to read and are quite enjoyable. The later volumes are a bit dark; however, for the most part, the series is fun and light. Through the power of love and friendship, evil will always be punished.I should note that towards the end of the series, Sailor Moon becomes a bit of a Messiah symbol, which feels a bit odd, but this is a fairly common trope.

Its still fun and interesting even with all that time-travel thingies. The explanation of who chibi-usagi is, the future cristal empira, the kidnappings, it keeps you Reading even so.Aquí es donde se estructura la historia, las explicaciones y el preparar la confrontación. SPOILERS, resulta que Rini (chi-usa) es del futuro, entonces habrá pedazos de recuerdos de Rini en el futuro.Igual que en el anime, la parte cómica la dan los celos de Serena al ver a Rini con Darien, aunque suene así de raro.Las sailor van siendo secuestradas, como parte del plan del enemigo, pero al parecer también como método para centrar mas la historia en la relación Serena, Darien, Rini, Princess Serenity y Endymion.
