Codename: Sailor V, Vol. 2

I really enjoyed this. After finishing the full SM manga, I wrapped it up with Sailor V and had fun. It's a lighthearted read that sometimes leaves you yearning for more insight into the SM universe, but the ending makes sense why it isn't shown much. Some people feel its just short story with no progression, and I felt the same way until the end, where everything comes to a head. It is well done. And I sort of needed a pallet cleansing after the fantastically done but rather depressing Stars saga. Would suggest reading this either before or after you read the SM manga. Also a lot of adult humor references in V's attacks, which I included lol.

This is my first time having read the Sailor V manga and I have to say, it was great getting to see Naoko's style before she started into Sailor Moon! What a fantastic storyline and I loved seeing background for Minako. She is my favorite out of all the Sailor Moon characters so I was THRILLED to find that she had her own manga before it. I have only one gripe and it's a small one. I am someone who likes to keep my manga in perfect condition so I do not like opening them too far. I have noticed in this manga, as well as others, that the margins in the center are so small that it is difficult to see some parts of the pages. Sometimes information is placed in this area and I don't want to risk creasing the book binding to see it. Most of the time it is fine and I can usually make out what I am supposed to read if there is anything in there, but it would be nice if they opened the margins up a bit. :) ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** I really love the way they end the final story in this volume and how it transitions into Sailor Moon. I feel it was beautifully done and it really makes you think that Naoko had this planned all along. :) ***END POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** All in all, I would highly recommend this manga and the other volume as well. Then follow it with Sailor Moon!

It arrived in good condition I love it very much

I got into the Sailor Moon anime in eighth grade, and I started reading the manga (in French, so I can't compare this to the English manga experience) soon after that. That was nearly 15 years ago, and I finally got around to picking up the Sailor V books. That was definitely a good choice on my part! As a prequel to Sailor Moon, the Sailor V story is just similar enough to feel familiar, with a few "Easter eggs" (ie., citing of characters who appear in the Sailor Moon manga) to really tickle a Moonie's nostalgia. Minako/Sailor V has a similar origin story to Usagi/Sailor Moon, and any fan of the series knows that they have similar personalities, but they're definitely distinct. This translation seems really well done, with some terrific running jokes that made me chuckle throughout. Any fan of Sailor Moon should pick up the two Sailor V volumes. It's practically a guarantee that you'll enjoy them!

I really loved this a lot. It came in really great condition. You wouldn't even be able to tell it was used.

As a fan of Sailor V I enjoyed this series a lot. The artwork is beautiful and the stories are fun. Minako does wear some skimpy outfits so I don't think it's suitable for children, which I guess means my parents were always out of the room when I watched the original sailor moon series as a child. Too bad there aren't anymore sailor v manga or else I would be buying them.

This is pretty much the same review I gave Sailor V Volume 1. The artwork is beautiful, it really flows off the page, and the larger format makes it easier to read and enjoy. The translations looked rush, and the English Adaption seemed awkward, so it lsoes a star. Otherwise this is an excellent ending to Sailor V and a great prequel to Sailor Moon. I recommend this for everyone, fans of the series may be off-put by the translations, but I think for new readers it will be a great read and a very minor point

This is such a great manga, especially for fans of Sailor Moon who want to see where it all began. The story is great, the art is beautiful and they kept the Japanese right to left style, leaving the art exactly as the manga-ka had intended it to be. I highly recommend this book. The characters are relatable and the story really has you hooked. It's a great prequel to Sailor Moon manga vol. 1.
