September Moon - 'Volume 6'

 WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER MOON! 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 6' is the start of the Death Busters arc of the 'Sailor Moon' manga.

It immediately throws you into the deep end, with its new plot and characters, and with hardly any room to resurface and breathe. But as I read on, and towards the end especially, it got easier to follow. It flows more smoothly and freely, with a steady and easygoing pace, and a lighter tone.

So much new stuff! Not just villains, but (anti)heroes - Sailor Guardians! - and themes.

In the name of the Moon, let's talk about them. In my rereview here.

September Moon - 'Volume 1'

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER MOON! 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

This month I'll be rereading a 'Sailor Moon' manga volume - including the 'Eternal' edition, the classic Chix Comix Pocket Edition translation, and the two 'Codename Sailor V' volumes - every day, in chronological order. I hope I can keep up, and stay as excited as I am now.

I can't wait to relive my childhood! To experience this classic, nostalgic, original magical girl manga once again, that started in Japan in 1991, the year I was born. I shall read these with refreshed eyes, as a magical girl myself in my mid-thirties!

In the name of the Moon, let's do this!

Starting everything off: my rereview of 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 1 (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Renewal Edition, #1)'.

Graphic Novel Review - 'My Giant Nerd Boyfriend, Vol. 1: Big Love in Small Moments' by Yen Ee (Fishball)

'My Giant Nerd Boyfriend, Vol. 1: Big Love in Small Moments' - based on the ongoing webtoon by Fishball, here we have a bunch of funny anecdotal comic strips, about the life of the 5'2" artist and her 6'4" boyfriend-turned-husband.

It's not nearly as geeky as I'd hoped it'd be, and there is toilet humour and nudity humour, but apart from that, it is sweet and romantic.

I see quite a lot of myself in Fishball (though I prefer cats to dogs, though her Pomeranian Biscuit is cute as hell), and how I long for a relationship like the one she has with her giant nerd boyfriend - her funny, charmingly awkward and hot AF giant nerd boyfriend!

There are also sad, touching and poignant comic episodes near the end; it's not all stupid laughs. There are important things to learn while reading 'My Giant Nerd Boyfriend', such as: appreciate the time you have with your loved ones, because nothing lasts forever. Love and appreciate the people in your life, and the people who helped raise you into the amazing person you are today, for they love you so, so much.

Did not expect that from something like 'My Giant Nerd Boyfriend', but I'm glad it was made and included, in this collected volume.

Although, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, as the webcomic references covid-19 throughout, and it is depicted/treated with humour, heart, helpfulness, self-love and community.
