At the end there are some useful notes to help English readers understand some of the Japanese cultural practices and references in the book, including places, religion, word meanings, etc. It is by no means a hindrance to understanding or enjoying the story.

The translation can be slightly silly, but only occasionally.

Exciting moments are offset skillfully with some hilarious ones that make readers laugh out loud and some very cute romantic ones that will make them daydream. However, the pace does keep reading exciting, and it is hard to stop after just one episode, particularly with some of the cliffhangers. Some of the episodes are also repetitive, following a plotline in which the enemy tries to take over the world and the Sailor Scouts show up to defeat them. Events happen very quickly from episode to episode, so it can feel as if there is a lack of characterization readers only just meet one new character before another is introduced, and suddenly they are all one chummy group. Plot-wise, the book falls only a little bit shorter in execution. Looking closely always reveals something new in her drawings. Her work is detailed, elegant, and expressive-absolutely captivating. Takeuchi fills her book with beautiful illustrations that are truly half the pleasure of reading. Note: I have seen the Sailor Moon anime, but this is the first time I have read the manga, or really any manga for that matter. She meets other girls destined to be Sailor Senshi (Sailor Scouts), and together, they fight the forces of evil! As Sailor Moon, Usagi must fight evil and enforce justice, in the name of the Moon and the mysterious Moon Princess. Official Summary: Usagi Tsukino is a normal girl until she meets up with Luna, a talking cat, who tells her that she is Sailor Moon. Goodreads: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol.
