Sooooo great!!!

I wanted to dwell in this world as much as I could and the final pages definitely did not disappoint me.

I especially liked:
- Princess Kaguya's love story
- Luna as a human being
- a maybe future with the children from the Sailor soldiers

I am so happy to have grown up with such a great story that has continued to follow me through my childhood and adolescence up until now. And it definitely isn't over now as I have the DVD's lying around that are wanting to be watched. Also, there still is Sailor Moon Crystal, which I cannot wait to watch!

Este segundo tomo tiene tres historias: `El amante de la princesa Kaguya`, cuya protagonista es Luna y que fue adaptada en la película Sailor Moon S; `Recuerdos de Casablanca`, cuya protagonista es Rei (Sailor Mars); y `Sailor Moon paralelo`, cuyo argumento transcurre en un futuro hipotético y alternativo.

No aporta nada a la trama principal del manga, pero las historias son muy entretenidas. Son cortas, apenas 20 páginas cada una, así que se leen muy rápido. A los amantes de Sailor Moon les encantará reencontrarse con todos los personajes y ver cómo los secundarios se convierten en protagonistas durante unos minutos.

Y si no habéis leído Sailor Moon, os la recomiendo.

Es mucho más que ese anime que veíamos cuando éramos pequeños.

This only has 3 stories compared to 6-sh from the first volume. This installment in particular contains the original version of Princess Kaguya's Lover which was then adapted into the Sailor Moon S movie from the 90's, and it takes up the bulk of the manga volume. While I always get misty eyed at Luna's predicament, this story is a slower read and wasn't my favorite of the original 3 BSSM movies that were later adapted. Still, it's a decent read.

Man that last story was super weird but fun! I'm sad I finished all the sailor moon stories but I look forward to rereading the main one in color next time. I truly love this series!
