I love when an author can play jokes on her characters the way this one can. Compilation of short stories on Sailor Moon characters.

Very cute little stort story bind up of some stories taking place between Arc 2 and right before the final arc. These are really good to read after the fact because you can see where they fit into story timelines. Very fun little read (even though I wasn't a huge fan of the last story)

These are just a bunch of fun short stories that take place in the Sailor Moon universe! They’re all hilarious and wholesome!

cute for what it is, but a little boring as the book progresses.

This volume is kinda of a mixed bag, played more for fun than anything else. It's nice to see more of the sailors, though.

I really enjoyed these short story's so much I love sailor moon so reading more of her world was great and we got to read a lot from Chibi-Usa which was a lot of fun

cute! these are super light weight but in a fun way. i'm going to borrow some fanfiction terminology here and say these are all fluff fic. there's a bit more traditional gender role stuff then i typically see in sailor moon -- one of the villains is basically caricature feminism with a rallying cry of 'who needs men! women: let's get careers and be independant!' and i was nodding along like well, she has a point tho when chibi-usa makes a valiant stance for the importance of the male species: 'without men, there won't be offspring. women can't live on their own!'

...in retropect that is actually a hilariously half-hearted defence. are men not good for anything else chibi-usa? xD

in general i liked the exam side-stories more then i did the chibi-usa shorts; the inner senshi are my favourite and it's nice getting some time devoted to them. also takeuchi flies her minako/rei banner high in their story and i'm always here for that :D
