Product Description
Review
"With its whimsical sense of fashion, thrilling adventure and complex backstory, Sailor Moon was like little else young girls had ever before seen on television, and miles above anything American animators were offering them. The anime led to interest in the manga, which in turn became the sort of success that made the bookstore market sit up and take notice. Scratch a modern-day manga fangirl, and you're likely to find someone who watched Sailor Moon when she was young." -The Comics Journal

Sailor Moon Volume 2, Nov 16 2011
By Serenity-hime - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sailor Moon 2 (Paperback)
This second volume of Sailor Moon had me super excited because I've been waiting for re-releases for years since the Tokyopop mangas disappointed me with their translation. However it seems Kodansha isn't spell checking or checking grammar before sending these out. At one point Usagi says "What'll should I do." However, this is really the only problem with them this time around. The use of their Japanese names is wonderful since the English names made me want to gag every time I read them. Overall Sailor Moon Volume 2 is worth the price, especially if you're like me and are a huge Sailor Moon fan.

Fantastic story, but bad translating, Jan 28 2012
By Becky Biddick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sailor Moon 2 (Paperback)
I've been a HUGE 'Moonie' (sailor moon fan) for so long. I have eagerly awaited the manga returning and this time in ENGLISH! Which excited me. The art on this series is simply beautiful. It catches the eye and is very tastefully done. The books themselves are very thick with wonderful illustrations by Naoko (GODDESS!)The way Sailor Mercury looks on this cover is so striking. The water droplets are so gorgeous and the Chibi Sailor Mercury on the back cover is a really nice touch! Very 'Sailor Moon Channel'!
It's not the story itself that is bad, it is the translating of words that simply confuse me and sound effects that make no sense at all! I'm not too knowledgeable of Japanese 'honorific's' and what they are, but how the characters talk to each other does not seem logical in any way to me in most of the story.
It is better than the first book, but just not enough. I also am sick of the printing issues. I had no missing pages, but the ink in my book was incredibly LIGHT in parts which made it hard to read and which reminded me of the bad photocopying jobs they did when I was at school to save money...

Flows more naturally now that minor translation issues from vol 1 were fixed, Nov 15 2011
By randystopia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sailor Moon 2 (Paperback)
This volume of Sailor Moon really finds its voice i feel. The first volume i had minor problems with the translation and of the names "princess' and the use of "bro' . This volume they seem to have worked out those translational issue and now it flows more naturally. Definitely thankful for that.
