New Read - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Naoko Takeuchi Collection), Volume 10 (Final Volume)

This was the end of Sailor Moon. The final volume, frankly, gave me all I wanted and more. A confrontation with Sailor Galaxia, the truth behind the source of the Sailor Scout's power, a twist about the nature of the Sailor Scouts and the origin of their power / enemies, and entirely unnecessary time traveling characters.

I did not know what to expect, but it exceeded it. And Usagi's Christ-like willingness to offer herself up not only for her friends, but for her enemies had me tearing up as I'm reading it.

I included an early panel from the volume where Sailor Moon is confronted by two enemies who clearly are only doing the bidding of Sailor Galaxia to end the eternal conflict in the universe. So, Sailor Moon offers her own life it it will end the conflict.

No one expects a person to willingly sacrifice themselves for someone they love, let alone someone they hate. It was jarring for everyone. And yea, it was an emotional moment.

Now that I've read it all, I need to re-read it again. This time, though, I think I'll do a thorough re-read starting with Codename Sailor V first, followed by all of Sailor Moon. But, that's for another day.

This finale is worth experiencing yourself, so I definitely recommend checking out this older series.

New Read - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Volume 9 (Naoko Takeuchi Collection)

Holy cow did it get real in Volume 9.

After the defeat of the Dead Moon Circus by the end of Volume 8, there was relative peace. Mamoru was going off to college in the US. But then something happens. Usagi keeps mentally blocking the horror so she pretends it isn't happening. But she has to face it as the volume continues.

Sailor Galaxia has arrived. Another Sailor Scout who is bent on becoming the most powerful Sailor Scout in the universe by stealing the power of others. In the process, she is decimating other Sailor Scouts across the Milky Way Galaxy.

Sailor Moon mentally blocking things which had upset her to avoid thinking about them...sadly, mood.

New Sailor Scouts as both enemies and allies are introduced in this wild volume. The ending is a huge setup for an amazing battle to come with Sailor Moon going after Sailor Galaxia!

I have Volume 10, which is the final volume of Sailor Moon for this edition.

I can't wait to see how the series ends. I also am definitely planning a reread in the future now that I have them all. Maybe even checking out some of the anime. When I am done.

Either way, this is great and I look forward to more.
