Everything is happening so fast! Ah!

Honestly, my main problem with this series is how easily everything is solved. Fights take one hit, mysteries take 2 minutes to resolve, etc.

The following happened across like two chapters:
There's a princess whom we need to protect!
Oh, Sailor V is the princess of the moon, even though her Sailor

name is a planet like the rest of the team, and our LEADER is Sailor MOON!
Whaaaaat, Sailor Moon is actually the princess?! No way!

Come onnnnn. It's like zero effort was put into that plotline.

I get that it was the 90s. I get that a lot of the series was actually pretty progressive, disregarding the whole "girls just chase after boys and jewels" stuff. I get the fact that, while this all feels really cliche and generic, at the time, it might not have felt that way. I get itttt.

At least we get a bit more real plot this time, even if the Big Bad and their goal is predictable as hell.

And I'm still going to read it all.

Here we go! This is the Sailor Moon I remember reading in single issue releases and in Tokyopop's original GN releases. So naturally, it's more of a re-read than a new read, albeit with Kodansha's brand new translation which does the story a lot of kindnesses, especially with Usagi and the

references to name (no more Bunny Tsukino, thank goodness!). I love these chapters of Usagi's memories coming back and the Senshi going to the moon, as well as those involving Usagi and Mamoru's time-spanning romance. So much love! Further cements the fact that manga!Mamoru is better than anime!Mamoru. And of course, the art in here is gorgeous; Takeuchi really shines when given lots of pretty dresses and dramatic scenes to draw. I can't wait to read volume three, which if I'm estimating right will bring the Dark Kingdom arc to a close and start the second arc in the series. Also: the cover is BEAUTIFUL. I love these new covers so much!

This is a follow-on to my review of vol. 1 and as such will note only differences.

Story
This volume was much more focused on the main story line, moved along at a much better pace, and had much more complexity--both in plot and characters--than vol. 1.
