Sailor Moon #3

This is the third book in the Sailor Moon series. The Scouts in this book are Usagi (Bunny), Minako (Mina), Ami (Amy), Rei (Raye), and Makoto (Lita). They are still fighting the same monsters as in books 1 and 2. The monsters brought Mamoru (Darien) back to life and told him to kill Sailor Moon. So he goes back to Earth and meets Usagi at the arcade. The Sailor Scouts fight Queen Beryl in the arcade and Mamoru helps her. Usagi has to save Luna. Queen Beryl runs away with Mamoru and Minako. The others go to where they went and try to fight Beryl. Minako, Ami, Rei, and Makoto's wands are destroyed and they almost die. Mamoru fights Usagi but then he turns back to normal and Usagi tries to fight the monsters. My only complaint with this series is that they changed it so you read it left to right like a normal book. To change it they had to flip all the pictures around. I would've rather read it the right way, which is right to left.

An amazing volume

This is a wonderful volume. Bunny/Darien, Usagi/Mamoru, Serena/Darien are my favorite couple.. I loved both the Japanese and English versions. The Japanese version is my favorite and the English version is great. I use both the Japanese names, Usagi and Mamoru and the English names Bunny and Darien. This volume is touching and has lots of heartfelt moments. Bunny's boyfriend and true love, Darien was kidnapped. Bunny finds out about her past with Darien and how when she and him were Serenity and Endymion, Endymion died protecting her and Serenity commited suicide to be with him. After meeting her true mother, the queen, the truth is revealed of how they were reincarnated. Bunny misses Darien so much. When a new guy, Endo appears, who looks a lot like Mamoru, Darien, new things are discovered. Mamoru, Darien has been revived. He has been given a new personality. Bunny becomes intrigued. Soon, she finds out the truth about what happened to Darien. She knows what she must do when she must battle her one true love, Darien. In the anime, Usagi, known as Bunny heals Mamoru, known as Darien with her locket. Bunny used the locket to turn Darien back to himself and she heals him. However, in the manga, it's very different and Bunny must stab him and stabs herself. It's very ehartbreaking. In the anime, when Usagi saves Mamoru and when Bunny saves Darien, her locket helps restore his memories and he becomes himself. In the manga, it's very different. Bunny kisses Darien one last time before she takes both their lives. A flashback of Serenity and Endymion's last night together is shown. Bunny and Darien awaken. Darien becomes himself again. Bunny is so happy, but find out that Darien has lost his vision. Darien comforts Bunny and tells her he believes in her. Find out what happens in this volume.

The Best!

One of the best in the series! Sailor Moon is going through a lot in this book and it is absolutely superb how the author puts the amazing pictures and fantastic dialogue together to tell a heart wrenching story of love. Parts of this series make me cry because of the emotional turmoil in these stories. Absolutely wonderful book in a marvelous series! I give it high regards!

book #3 contiues the wonderful story

This book is another master piece by Naoko Takeuchi. The third book continues the story of Sailor Moon and her Scouts. In it is their first visit to the moon. This book also has the start of the Scouts' first big fight for the world with the Queen of Evil. But beware: you have to read book #4 to finish it. A truely enchanting book; I recomend it to any person who enjoys Sailor Moon.

For Sailor Moon fans, this is a must get. Even for Manga Fan

In this manga Naoko gives the actions between Usagi/Bunny decides to go to the moon and the battle with Queen Metallia. This is the first time that I have read a Sailor Moon manga of anytype and found it good. The drawings are so precise, and the moon is so there that I could hear the soundtrack to the series in my head.I liked this because I have only seen so many episodes of the first series that I really didn't knwo who was who, or what was going on between charecters, but this is good. For anyone who watches Sailor Moon on tv but doesn't read the manga should get this to know the real way the defeat of Beryl goes, not the edited verson we watch.If I had had 30 to 40 dollars more I would had bought the rest of the series, but I didn't. This is a great book and I think all people should read it.
