I grew up watching the original anime, but never read the series. A great trip down memory lane. I forgot how ditzy Usagi is. Plot moves quickly, with a new sailor guardian added nearly every chapter.

A grand start for one of the grand precursors that instilled into the public consciousness what a magical girl could be.
Having only grown up watching the Dic dub, it takes a bit for me to mentally shift from some characters' dub names to their Japanese names, but glad all of their characterizations are still as I remember them to be. Altho, memory is a funny thing because of how some of the girls are drawn and because of my own relative youth at the time, they seemed older. Especially apparent in this manga some panels make the squad look like they're women in their early 20s, but NOPE! They are barely out of puberty at 14 years old! It's like that meme of early European/medieval painters being asked "you know how to draw a child right?" and the "child" ends up being a small fat man or a shrunken regular dude with all the proportions of an adult.
Regardless, the blending of regular life to the fantastical superhero-ing is great and the plot thickens relatively early on

since Moony gets to know the secret identity of her masked cheerleader and vice versa in the 2nd to last chapter here, when I'm pretty sure that gets revealed in a particularly jaw-dropping mid-season finale in the first anime.

Also, in particularly hilarious, not-so-subtle foreshadowing, Usagi mentions how cool it would be to be a princess.
Oh hun, if you only knew...
