September Moon - 'Volume 9'

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER MOON! 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

I'm halfway there!

Now it's onto 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 9', where the circus is in town. The Dead Moon Circus, that is.

Sure, it has quite a few flaws, but I enjoyed myself the further I read.

September Moon - 'Volume 8'

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER MOON! 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

A 'Sailor Moon' manga a day keeps the September blues away.

I was right: 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 8' is lighter and breezier than 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 7', and it's a good sign.

The Death Busters arc quite literally ends with a bang three quarters of the way through, and we are immediately thrust into the charming, funny, waiting arms of the Dead Moon Circus arc. 'Sailor Moon' is silly and pretty again!

In the name of the Moon, let's get to rereviewing!

September Moon - 'Volume 7'

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER MOON! 🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙🌙

I can't believe it only now just occurred to me:

Has it really been a decade since I last read and reviewed these 'Sailor Moon' manga? Even longer than that if I read them all the way through in 2014 or 2015? No wonder I'd forgotten a lot of the details.

And in the case of the Death Busters arc, and 'Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol. 7' in particular, it turns out there is a lot of detail that went over my head.

It is a very heavy manga with a great deal going on. Volume 7 may also the darkest volume yet.

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.
