One of my all-time favorite series. The gateway series to getting me into anime and manga! The artwork impressed me so much, and the story was fun. It is still one of my favorites both because it's well-done, and for nostagia reasons.
This is the version that came out during the middle age of manga: before they stopped flipping the artwork, but right as TokyoPop was starting to emerge, and the volumes got cheaper. Unfortunately you could see it in the quality, as there were a lot of typos and sometimes the edges of pages would get cut off.

LOOK AT THIS COVER! It's probably my favorite cover of the entire series. Just wonderful! <3 So this final volume in the SuperS series begins with the cliffhanger from volume, Darrien and Bunny being blasted from the sky. It ends up just being a nightmare. Now that the gang is all together the chalice is working and Sailor Moon can use it to transform...except this time...she becomes ETERNAL SAILOR MOON!!! She was gorgeous, and that was just paneling well done. However, the fight scenes looked like a sloppy mess...this beautiful transformation however more than makes up for it. Sailor Saturn works her magic and reveals the Amazoness Quartet are actually Sailor Mini Moon's future Scouts! It was a cool twist but I feel it wasn't given enough time to appreciate.
Once again, this volume holds the frills and fun the series is known for at this time. It was a good clean way to tie up this particular arc. This volume was full of the theme of love and Darrien and Bunny are just so perfect! While I don't feel like it was the best volume of the series, it certainly holds it's own. Goodbye for now Helios!

And Super S has concluded~ An awesome ending to this arc with all sorts of action, love and romance! Our favorite Princess finally gets a chance to give her "I'll punish you speech" (a perfect moment), Tuxedo Mask steps up and shows his own power, team work and of course - Chibi Moon and Helios have their moment. <3
Good ending, lots of fun. It's been a joy to re-read a book I used to adore when I was a younger. Sailor Moon is just one classic I don't think I'll ever kid tired of. :3

Review for complete series
Sailor Moon is a fundamental series of manga. Most manga fans and readers will have read it or at the very least be familiar with the character and plot. I was one of those who did not grow up with Sailor Moon; I never really saw the anime episodes and by the time I started to read the manga the Sailor Moon series was long out of print. Nonetheless, I had an idea of what the series was about, the characters and of course the fact that it was famous and very popular. By now I have watched the first season and have read the series. Prior to reading it my expectations of this series were not too high – sure, there must be something about it that so many people would love it. But I also thought that a lot of its high praise must come from that air of nostalgia that Sailor Moon will always have. Despite my doubts, after having read it I feel that this manga truly deserves all the praise it receives!
There are a few things that I did not like – but that holds true for most things. For one thing, Sailor Moon does, in no way, look or act like a 14-year old. I would have been much happier if she were just a few years older. Mamoru is a nice character but the poor guy is pretty much the only representative of males. All other male characters that appear are only around for a couple of chapters, villains, minor characters or women disguised as men. And then, although it is typical for magical girl manga, the name of their attacks. I do not mind them having hearts and whatnot all over their costumes – but all the spells with sugar heart rains and the like were too much for me.
However!
Sailor Moon was so much more than what I expected of a magical girl series. Magical girl types of series often leave me with a lot of disbelief and hardly ever do more than just provide a bit of entertainment. I always thought of Sailor Moon to be just like that but the author delivered such beautiful and logical explanations to all the events happening. I loved the whole concept of the story and it let the characters be true guardians of the earth rather than teenagers in sparkly costumes. I am no big fan of science fiction but I loved how the author played with time and space. Because she managed to make Sailor Moon's role so much more believable for me, it was so much easier to route for her and feel with her through all the hardships.
I loved the power of friendship in this work and the romance between Sailor Moon and Mamoru was beautiful. I watched the first season of the anime before reading the manga: the relationship between Sailor Moon and Mamoru was ridiculous but the manga version just made my heart feel warm. The beautiful artwork of the author helped, of course. But all scenes between Sailor Moon and Mamoru were so gentle and warm. I loved how their memories of their past lives slowly returned to them.
The other thing is the art. The artwork is one of the most important things for me when reading a manga and Sailor Moons is just so astonishingly beautiful. Sailor Moon as a character was also very nice – she grows so much throughout the series and she is nowhere as annoying as she was in the anime adaption. It is also nice how the author goes into the other characters dreams and wishes and does not only focus on Sailor Moon – another thing that many magical girl manga do.
The series delivers many lovely and also comical scenes which is good because it also has many (to me unexpected) dark scenes. I probably enjoyed the middle arcs the most. However, I was very interested in the final arc about Sailor Galaxia and was rather disappointed that it fell so short. I think there could have been a lot more about that arc and I would have liked to have learned more about Sailor Galaxia’s motives and origins as well as the purpose and system of the Cauldron and how it creates the stars and planets.
All in all: nothing but the highest praise for Sailor Moon! I liked this series so much more than what I always what I always thought I would and I think it is never too late to become a fan!
not-gonna-read
August 7, 2025To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like this manga. In fact, I was expecting to loathe it. To my surprise, I didn’t.
To be clear, I didn’t love this manga. I don’t know what it is about this series but it’s a manga that I would love to bash but at the same time there’s this charm and likability to it that I just can’t bring myself to hate it.
Sailor Moon is the shojo manga that basically started the magic girl story in manga. It’s very predictable and cheesy. But that's part of its' charm. Since it is also a romance, it tends to have those romantic clichés such as the main couple being total opposites and not getting along.
While the main character is a bit whiny and a crybaby at times, I didn't find her so unbearable that I couldn't stand her at all. Her slightly annoying personality is a lot better than having no personality at all.
Regardless, no matter how many flaws this manga has, I have to admit that there is this charm to it that just makes it kind of likable. Some of the characters are likable and the plot did move surprisingly fast. Much like my review of Dragon Ball Z I don't love the franchise but I do admire and respect it for what it has done for the Shojo manga and magic girl genre.

Not for me.
I'm utterly mystified by this collection of fashion doll drawings spouting word salad. Some favorites are 'Therapy kiss starlight honeymoon' and 'Is it really true that a black monster lives inside a mirror and eats up crybabies?'
This book ends with Rini's diary in which she eats desserts, gets a cavity and is terrified of the dentist, "A cavity is a disease where these scary bacteria make holes in your mouth. Rini, if you don't treat your cavities, it'll eventually melt your jaw." "I don't want to die from this primative disease. After all, I'm a 30th century princess." This weird episode ends with lines like "Sugar is the devil's powder, the devil's powder. Never again" and more than one literal "You don't want to get fat" with the offer of a correct snack "Dried squid, raw veggies and dried fish! Snacks that won't give you cavities, they build your chewing power."
Whaaa?

3-5 / 4 estrellas.
Otro arco finalizado en donde se puede ver que en puntos la trama fluye, y a veces flanquea.
Me gusta como la mitología de las sailor scouts crece mientras van pasando los tomos, añadiendo trasfondo, no sólo a los personajes en la actualidad, sino también en sus anteriores vidas.
Algunos personajes podría pensar que están estancados con sus personalidades en el arco anterior, o en arcos anteriores, a veces incluso actuando como si fueran nuevos.
Pero me gusta como cambian y mejoran las cosas en otros puntos.

Me chifla lo de los cristales de las sailors, y Mamoru es prácticamente el sailor tierra ajajajaja. Amo toda la historia y no tiene nada que ver con la adaptación de los 90. Justo acabo de ver la película basada en este arco, y es tremendo ver a sailor moon eterna.

Es uno de los mejores tomos de toda la saga. Erios, las princesas, las cuatro pequeñas guardianas, Luna, Artemis y Diana humanos, Neherenia, Sailor Moon Eterna... Todo es perfecto ♥

"Sailor Moon: SuperS #4" es el décimo quinto volumen, que recompila los capítulos del 41 al 42 del manga.
Acá finaliza el arco argumental conocido como "Dream".
Vemos que la muerte de Sailor Moon y Tuxedo Mask fue una ilusión creada por Zirconia para desestabilizar a las Sailor Guardians, una vez libres de la pesadilla, Super Sailor Moon y las demás Sailor Guardians la derrotan sin más.
En una lucha entre Super Sailor Moon y Neherenia, nos enteramos de dónde nace el rencor de la Reina y porque busca apoderarse del Legendario Cristal de Plata y del Reino de la Luna.
Se muestra que cada Sailor Guardian puede usar el poder de sus nuevos cristales y el de cada planeta que las resguarda, podrán ser capaces de vencer a Neherenia de una vez por todas. Finalmente todas consiguen un nuevo estatus en su poder y todes, incluyendo a Tuxedo Mask, brindan el nuevo poder de sus cristales a Sailor Moon. Ahora, como Eternal Sailor Moon, esta lanza un ataque final que elimina a Neherenia de una vez y por todas.
Una vez eliminada la amenaza, Helios recupera su poder y nuevamente puede proteger a Elysion y la Tierra comienza a despertar del eterno eclipse que la tenía prisionera. Como último favor, Saturn le pide a Eternal Sailor Moon que libere el alma del Cuarteto Amazonas, quienes resultan ser Sailor Guardians a quienes Neherenia había mantenido en las pesadillas por mucho tiempo. Sailor Guardians que juraron proteger a una futura Sailor Chibi Moon de inminentes amenazas.

¡Genial! Eternal Sailor Moon aparece mucho más antes, las Sailor Scouts son princesas de sus propios planetas, Artemis, Luna y Diana aparecen como humanos, y Rini descubre quienes seran sus compañeras en el futuro. Realmente es una lástima que en el anime quedaran olvidados todos estos detalles grandes ( como el cristal dorado que en el realidad era el de Darien y no de Rini). Y me tomo 18 años darme cuenta que Eliot y Rini son como una especie de segunda versión de Darien y Serena.

The queen of the Black Moon battles the Scouts for all the marbles, and after some back and forth, Sailor Moon goes through another epic transformation and wins the day. Takeuchi's got a good eye for majestic shots of her heroine transcending the evil forces thrown at her.

Y yo que creía que 18 tomos era mucho y me acabo de terminar el tomo 15 (lo empecé hace tres días atrás) osea estoy así: WHAT?

Dícen los rumores que técnicamente este es el fin de Sailor Moon, incluso, algunos consideran el "arc" StarS como un "Spin-off" obviamente a causa de lo fuerte del mismo.
