Like Sailor Moon, Minako Aino is a normal 13-year-old schoolgirl until a fateful day when a white cat introduces himself to her and tells her she has the power to transform into the hero, Sailor V. Using a magic pen to transform, Sailor V fights the evil agents of the Dark Agency as she strives to protect the earth.Codename: Sailor V, created by the author before she created the mega-popular Sailor Moon, has never before been available in the U.S. This books features:
- An incredibly accurate translation!
- Japanese-style, right-to-left reading!
- New cover art never before seen in the U.S.!
- The original Japanese character names!
- Detailed translation notes!
Sailor V is super cute. It is a fun light read. It is like Saturday morning cartoons just a bunch of fun. The chapters are very episodic and sometimes it can get a little ridiculous but that brings laughter instead of exasperation. Due to it's episodic nature there is not a lot of character of plot development in this volume. The drawings are very well done. There were only a few times when I became confused because of to many lines being on the page. This is fun and lighthearted where what you see is what you get.
I give this volume a B+
Nice review(: This sounds like a fun read I should read it, especially since I am a fan of the series that came after it "Sailor Moon"!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Sailor V. It seems like it would be a good transition for younger readers to get into manga. Like junior high. Or do you think the reading age is older?
