If any of you have seen the anime, you can tell it is VERY different, but in a good way. You should definitely see these mangas if you want to know the original SuperS. Here's a preview:
SuperS 2 contains 3 seperate story lines. The actual SuperS story line, and the three Exam Battles.
In the SuperS story line, Jupiter struggles with not being able to transform, while Chibi-Usa and Usagi worry about Mamoru and the fact that he's sick, and coughing up black blood. Venus is also struggling to transform, and feels useless as the supposed leader of the inner senshi. She doesn't even notice Artemis's obvious love for her, though his daughter does.
The three exam battles are as followed: Lita's (Makoto's) Melancholy, Ami's First Love, and Rei and Mina's School Girl Battle. Each of them concentrate on the girls efforts to just be themselves, which trying to be senshi as well.
In Lita's, she struggles through her exam studies, thinking she isn't cut out for high school. It also gives you some cute facts about her, like why she's scared of airplanes.
Ami's First Love in the manga was actually better than the OAV (which I didn't like). Though I'm still not a big fan of it, it was cute.
Rei and Mina's School Girl Battle was my favorite part of this book. This so should have been animated. Mina is jealous of Rei because she goes to a school with an elevator system, where she doesn't have to take entrance exams. It lets you in on a lot of things about Mina and Rei, and shows you that they are best friends, something that was missing in the anime. Plus, the end was REALLY funny and can always be refered to for a laugh.
