Ultimate Sailor Moon Manga Guide (English) セーラームーン

[@MegaVag1na]

My husband and his comic loving friend watched this entire video to decide which was the best book option to gift me. If that’s not adorable, I don’t know what is 🥰 They settled on the eternal edition, and they are stunning! Sailor Tortilla, In the name of the moon, I thank you! 🌙

[@EvanTomiko]

Those small manga books are delicate. Over time the pages start to peel off the book. The glue starts to fade. They become a mess. That's why I don't touch them anymore to preserve them.

[@psychotophatcat]

I'm amazed that Tortilla's is so crisp! My earliest copies definitely have begun this decay process lol (but I treated them poorly as a 10 year old so what can you do.)

[@Faes_gaming]

Same thats happening to mine i don't know how to fix it 😭😭

[@ButtaUsagi]

My SuperS volume 2 began falling apart in the early 2000’s. I read those mangas repeatedly and it has taken some damage over the years. Used to take it to school with me and everywhere else. I now keep them in a container box away from dust and further damage.

[@Sakurakinomotoz633]

I got my sailor moon manga from eBay

[@Peppermon22]

Mine haven’t so far. 20 years with them.

[@Spectra651]

Despite them Americanizing a few things, like calling Usagi "Bunny," and the LOADS of typos throughout the books, I still have a soft spot for the Mixx editions. The first manga I ever owned was a copy of Sailor Moon Super S vol. 1 which I found in Hot Topic. It was completely unexpected, since I had no idea there were plans to bring the original manga to the US (hell, I barely knew there *was* a Sailor Moon manga, or even what a manga was back then), and I was unbelievably excited to get my hands on it. I didn't have enough money to buy it, so my two good buds who I was shopping with chipped in the rest for me, which I was really touched by. I still remember reading it on the drive home, completely fascinated by the artwork and hardly believing I was finally getting to see this exciting new arc of the series (people take it for granted now, but this was long before anime streaming, DVDs, or even VHSs were common, and Cloverway hadn't even dubbed Sailor Moon S yet). It all seemed so brand new and incredible back then. I would really love to buy all the Eternal editions, but I only finished buying the smaller Kodansha editions a few years ago, and I'm a little annoyed that now I'm supposed to buy the same books *again* -_- But we'll see how long I can hold out before I cave, lol. They *do* look worth it.

[@SailorTortilla]

Thanks for sharing. Your buds at Hot Topic were real friends! Just so you know- Kodansha is now making a smaller version of the Eternal books in 2021 (I know, they won’t stop).

[@Spectra651]

@@SailorTortilla Ha ha! XD Well, that's good to know, I might hold off then and see how good the smaller versions look before spending any money :)

[@helloworld366]

I hated the version with the new names in the manga so much I only read till the beginning of Super S manga in a manga app because the rest of it had that version only

[@tiredchibi1997]

The 2011 is the one that my middle school had. I Loved reading it. The art is just so beautiful.

[@sailorlilyy]

This review helped me alot and although the eternal series looks beautiful I might still end up getting the 2011 copies 1) it's cheaper on Amazon bc I'm broke😅 2) I dont mind the wording that much. And 3) I love think the size is perfect! But tysm for this!! It really helped bc I'm getting my first manga and I had to choose sailor moon bc I've just started getting into the series, although I realized there were more than 1 copies!! So it was hard for me but this definitely helped!!💕💫

[@SailorMoonFan92]

The Eternal editions are about to be rereleased in a smaller and cheaper format called the 'Naoko Takeuchi Collection', I recommend those to anyone who hasn't bought any yet and just want a cheap version

[@kayartdotjpeg]

I have a box set of 2011 edition 1-6 but honestly if I buy the rest of the series I'll buy the eternal edition either the smaller or bigger ones

[@vikkired9216]

A lot of the 2011 volumes are getting hard to find, so keep that in mind when making your purchases!

@@vikkired9216 you think so? I see them at Newbury comic stores a lot 🤔 I suppose they dont always carry the full set though

[@cd4playa1245]

If you like super heroes then One Punch Man is really, really good IMO. It’s funny and the art is incredible. It’s my favorite comic book series by far, across the world.

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

Believe it or not, I actually bought the Eternal Edition for my girlfriend as she was with her family buying her first car. She wanted me to find her some Astro Boy Manga if the bookstore I was at had it; but my efforts came up fruitless. All hope wasn’t lost as I saw this book, and I immediately thought of her as she watched sailor moon as a kid on VHS. It’s also thanks to her, I got back into watching the anime... more specifically, the Viz Media dub.

[@markoonimooni]

I have that from 2011 version and I love it! It's more like Crystal version.

Thank you for the guide! I wasn't sure what the difference was between the 2011 and the eternal versions and I did not know there was a size difference!

Sailor Moon was one of my childhood series that I could only watch at midnight cuz anime would only air at that time and because I was so young my mom would never let me. I'm now regaining interest in wanting to read the manga because the characters have much more emotions. This guide really helped me, thank you 💛

Very great video guide on the manga. I recently ordered the first two volumes of the Naoko Takeuchi. It’s pretty similar to the Eternal Edition with a few differences, but it’s pretty enjoyable.

I'm 2 years late to this but thank you so much for this video! I bought the Kodansha collection before the Eternal edition came out and I never got past volume 1 because I struggled with the translation as well.

[@Britchan]

Sorry if it's already been mentioned in the comments but as far as Naoko's notes go, even in the Japanese version of the 2nd edition, her notes were completely removed (which is so sad! I would love an updated official translation of them since I know Mixx/TokyoPop took liberties with them including adding in stuff that wasn't there to make it more relevant to what SM was doing in the US at the time). Unfortunately, quality wise, the Mixx/TP versions either had cheap glue or just due to age, tend to start falling apart (so please be careful with them!). I've noticed that the 2nd edition released by Kodansha already has page discoloration. I'm guessing that just has to do with the paper they chose. My books have mostly stayed on shelves over the years (though nothing else protective over them) and they've turned color. :(

[@yukir.9156]

For the nottes, I personnaly have a version of the original japonanes one version. I can try to do and look for a translate of theses. But I have to find another one to complet my own work, cause my Japanees is not now as good as it was a way before. I'll think of that, and doing my best to find someone to.

[@EvanTomiko]

I fell in love with the Eternal version. They have these huge colored illustrations. ❤❤❤

[@emilyplunkett6034]

I have the 2011 set. Around the time Sailor Moon was originally airing in Canada, I was absolutely a huge fan of the show, but never into collecting Sailor Moon merchandise, outside of a few dolls. (What money I had went to Beatles CDs.) I always kind of knew it was originally a comic type book, but I don't remember seeing them. So when I saw the 2011 manga in the bookstore, I immediately started buying them up. Because of this (and the general fact that what spending money I have still goes to music related purchases) I haven't thought to buy the Eternal set. But, now that I know there are some interesting differences, I might start to rethink it. :)

I love the tiny Mixx ones and have them all, but the first volume is utterly wrecked. I carried it around with me in middle school, read it during lunch and lent it out to my Moonie friend (huge mistake, she ripped it) until the pages started falling out and the spaghetti sauce was in too deep to wipe down. Later, the individual issues were always in tow too, which were more noticeably comic books and got me in way more trouble. Didn't help that on more than one cover, they let "Bunny" be naked and in bed with "Darien" 😂 Honestly I thought it was clever to give her the name "Bunny," inkeeping with the cutesiness of "Usako," and it taught me the "rabbit in the moon" Japanese myth. Too bad that Naoko's notes didn't make it to Eternal! They were such fun and had so much behind the scenes information 😢 I'll forever treasure my yellowed, torn and earmarked PocketMixx, but after buying the first Eternal to replace my old Mixx ($10 new at a second-hand store) I think I'll take them all. The updates in artwork are mostly for the better, the colored pages make me swoon, and the translation is so natural. Thank you for this video! (though I'm still bummed IGLive won't show me your reading of that awful novel lol).

[@ketami2]

I still have the mix version because I bought it when it came out.....when I was in high school....After all these years the books have been read and handled so many times that some places are stained, smudged and I'm afraid they might fall apart. I admit I picked up the 2011 version a few years ago because of this. It also helped that I got nearly the entire series 1/2 off because Hastings was going out of business. I figured I was good and didn't need another copy but after seeing yours and Ochibawolf's reviews I really NEED the eternal set!

I have the 2011 edition, and I am currently collecting the Eternal editions as well. I have read the 90's books in 2013 for nostolgia and got a headache and took FOREVER to read them. Only because of the fact that I am now so used to how a manga is supposed to be read. Due to the fact that I have them all of them I haven't had a chance to look at all three of them as the 90's ones were stored away, but I will get to do it soon enough.

Usually people start buying the first volumes and then they stop getting them or don't have the money to keep buying them, it happens here too where I buy manga in Spanish, that's why always the first volumes are unavailable

[@sailorcat]

Interesting to see the English versions, cause I only know the German ones!^^ It's quite similar: The first version was flipped completely and had no coloured pages. They also used the German dub names - including Bunny. xD Bunny was her name in several countries, but I think it's better than Serena, cause it's a translation of Usagi. Our Eternal Edition is smaller (but still bigger than the re-edition). But - and are the only country to have that - it's hardcover!^^ Unfortunately we don't have those "glossary" pages in the back, neither in the re-edition, nor in the Eternal Edition. Naoko Takeuch's notes are only in the very first edition, which is very hard to get nowadays. (But I think the pages in the back aren't her notes, it's just a glossary and some background information?) The translation issue is the same: The first one was easy to understans, but sometimes incorrect; the second one was correct, but sounded a little odd and the Eternal Edition is the best. I actually like the art style of the re-edition, at least from Mars on. (Yeah, Sailor Moon and Mercury don't look that great, but I really like the other covers.) There's one advantage the re-edition has compared to the Eternal Edition: it's cheaper. I don't know about the US, but the German Eternal editions are very expensive.

[@yukir.9156]

Fun fact: the first Kodansha version is releast all arond the world just in forma alike they published it in japon (without the translation.

I did read the Kodanda version but that's because the mix version is so hard to find and they fall off easily and it's distracting to want to read the story. I definitely wld love to buy the eternal version they look so pretty.

[@UnholyTriforceDelenn]

I can't even begin. I haven't started buying any of the manga yet because I haven't been able to afford it, but I think I'd end up having to get the smaller Kodansha edition simply because of the price point, although I would prefer the Eternal Edition. I've read some of the smaller Kodansha edition already, and I had an easier time reading the two volumes of Codename: Sailor V than I did the 4 or 5 volumes of the main Sailor Moon manga. Like the flow seemed easier to me. I enjoyed Codename: Sailor V so much, and then starting Sailor Moon, it honestly felt completely different. It took way more time to process the artwork vs the text and I found myself confused sometimes as to what the point being made was with specific statements, and yeah, it did feel very stiff and unnatural. This was back in 2016, and the friend I borrowed the manga from was like "No, these are the definitive versions of the manga. This is how they're supposed to read, because it's a direct translation from the Japanese version, and way better than the old ones we got. You should feel lucky that we eve have this new version!" He was really offended that I wasn't thoroughly enjoying the manga, and was annoyed that I would feel that way after the Sailor V mangas, because in his opinion, they were the same translation, so I was just "looking for things to be annoyed about" when in reality, I was very new to manga in general and had no clue that it wasn't just me. So I took him at his word that the problem was me and not the manga edition. Thank you so much for uploading this video, Sailor Tortilla, & for confirming that it wasn't just me having a problem with the translation, and I really wish I had seen this when it first went up rather than 2 years later.

[@maytalacedo2942]

i remember reading the collectors version which is the 1st 1. it was said about 18 volumes and yeah i was confused of calling her bunny but i thought it was really cute since it fits her well. i did read the dream arc version of it and it was very dramatic but romantic. i did read the kodanca version of it and it wasn't 2 bad but yeah it was a bit 2 much and dated but I'll still read it. i'm really curious of wanting 2 get the eternal addition since it looks so beautiful.

Did they ever make a “perfect” edition of Sailor V?

[@SailorTortilla]

They will release the Eternal version after the Sailor Moon versions conclude.

[@Moonkid_n]

I have the German Eternal Edition the Problem with this is on the book Back the golden print is gone and i buy it for 25 euros i am so sad ;---; the sad fact its Not only me Others have the Same problem

[@sailoraesthetic5510]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out which one to buy and I didn't know how to find a manga at all XD I have a question, anybody who knows feel free to answer, but which version would you say is kid friendly? Because I want to be able to save up a kid selection, I heard one was made for kids with coloring pages, but idk what its called ;v;

[@Kastarnia]

Oh boy, I suffer when I think about manga. I don't know what happened with the polish version, but a piece of the pages are cut in the edges and sometimes you cannot read a whole sentence or see a complete draw, it's super annoying. I'm glad I got the eternal versions, it makes the reading much easier and enjoyable, also they are super big so my blind ass can read it without problem.

[@praiseosa-ogunbor3510]

Do you get the complete story in the eternal edition

[@Kastarnia]

@@praiseosa-ogunbor3510 yes, I still didn't got all the tomes, but the edition there is perfect :D

[@praiseosa-ogunbor3510]

@@Kastarnia does it include the final battle

[@Kastarnia]

@@praiseosa-ogunbor3510 It surely does :) I'm missing the last three so I haven't see it personally, but an incomplete story wouldnt have sense.

[@sakai_sukistudios4157]

I got a 2011 sailor moon manga I didn’t get the 90s one 😅

[@mewpie8748]

I just ordered the kondancha i don't know if I spelt it right but the 2011 version its coming tomarrow

[@kylethenerd1]

I echo what you said about buying from Amazon! They ship anything thing can in bubble mailers and it drives me nuts.

[@SailorTortilla]

I LITERALLY ended up with two copies of issue 5 because of dents. It drives me so crazy. The second one came back worse! And then Corona @.@ so I couldn’t return it.

[@kylethenerd1]

Sailor Tortilla That’s the worst! I ordered the first volume through Amazon when it first came out. Arrived all messed up, returned it and never tried to buy another through them again. I’ve been picking them up at Barnes & Noble in store, but I’m behind on a few volumes so I’ll probably pick them up through Right Stuf at this point. I like the fact that they typically only ship collector quality items and safely secure everything in boxes. Love your content and collection BTW. Keep shining your light! ❤️

[@Phantomsangel]

Rightstuf REPRESENT! WOOT!

[@TakeDownTheStreets]

Hold up I love your channel name

[@SailorTortilla]

Thanks, Amanda!

[@sailorponytopics7761]

Great Review, I have all of the 2011 version and the Tokyopop version and the chic comics of the sailor moon manga!! What is the actual differences in the sailor moon 2011 and 2019 versions? I know that the eternal edition is very heavy to hold (from the last time that I picked one up at a books&million) and I know that they are a little bit more that the 2011 in price, but my main question is is it the same as the 2011 or no?

[@PrssSerenity]

She has said the translations are so different in each one of them. The Eternal editions are re-translated to sound more conversational. The og Kodansha edition sounds as if Google translated it.

[@JeremySheer]

*2018 not 2019

[@SnowWolfAlpha]

I did a comparison of the first three volumes on my blog if you're interested. mangaanotherstory.blogspot.com/2018/09/sailor-moon-eternal-edition-volume-1.html mangaanotherstory.blogspot.com/2019/01/sailor-moon-eternal-edition-volume-2.html mangaanotherstory.blogspot.com/2019/07/sailor-moon-eternal-edition-volume-3.html

[@christinajohnson4238]

I kinda of think that this like from the Sailor Moon Crystal and plus I read this as well and also I didn't finished it all before the virus and I am collecting a manga myself.

[@RamonaFlowers420]

I have the collection from 2011, but it says "Usagi" instead of "Bunny."

[@kamblack8813]

2022:Into the name of the moon, I'll punish you. 1992:Into the behalf moon, you'll be punished.

[@merciovek3761]

This is great definitely want to get the eternal edition

[@edgar1557]

Thank you I just got my eternal edition today :)

[@SnowWolfAlpha]

If anyone's curious about a more in-depth look at the translation differences between the Mixx/Tokyopop and 2011 Kodansha versions, I recommend Miss Dreams website and Sailor Hell's blog. secondchancesmoon.blogspot.com/2011/11/intro-and-volume-1.html I also did a comparison between the 2011 release and the Eternal edition translation on my blog. mangaanotherstory.blogspot.com/2018/09/sailor-moon-eternal-edition-volume-1.html

[@yg1307]

I read the 2011 one... I don’t see any weird english.

[@jesusmanuelvenegasvarela6396]

Sailor tortilla, I’m gonna buy the whole eternal edition .., I already own the last 2 volumes but I noticed they’re not as glossy and sparkly as they were when I first bought them and I just got the last December. Are yours not glossy and sparkly anymore as the first day?

[@SailorTortilla]

Hmm, the later volumes do seem kind of faded (in that they sparkle less) but I’m not sure if they just got less glittery as they hit those last volumes. I kinda think it’s because the art was so detailed compared to the first few? They do feel glossy/smooth though.

[@IWannaBeAnArtistToo]

Shoujo Beat was Viz, I think the one you are thinking of was called Smile!

[@SailorTortilla]

You are totally right! Thank you

[@Phantomsangel]

Darn now you're making me want to re-read the manga through eternal edition. I'll probably wait untill I get further in the anime though because I keep making comparisons if I watch and read them too close togeather. I also want to own the Mixx version now you sold me on it lol. What did you mean by thing version of the mixx one anyway? The first Kodansha print also uses 'sempai' instead of 'senpai' which I think a lot of people had a tendancy to mispronounce in then...including myself.

[@tenjou0]

Back in the day Mixx released individual chapters in an American comic style format. The cover art was typically the art from the Japanese Nakayoshi release in 92. They're a little hard to find, and are more expensive and they, if i remember correctly, only published up to the Dream arc in that format.

[@saintfighteraqua]

@@tenjou0 Yes, they did individual issues of the manga through the Infinity Arc. Oddly, if I remember right, they started releasing Stars in Mixxzine and SuperS (what they called the Dream Arc) in volumes before the Infinity Arc was even finished. It was Super (pun intended) confusing!

[@janedoeeyed]

I have some regular comic book sized mixx single chapters in my collection and original Japanese v

[@nicolekatsitsiyo]

I have the whole set by Tokyo pop that I completed in like 2002, but now I really want the updated editions. 😭😭💸💸💸

[@nicolekatsitsiyo]

Ahh also the “I will punish you” isn’t specially stated in the Japanese, it’s just the noun “punishment” that can have the “to do” verb inferred but it’s not explicitly stated, so the mixx version isn’t leaving out any dialogue. It mainly just doesn’t align with the anime’s English translation.

[@SailorTortilla]

I didn't know that!!
