Sailor Moon, Volume 3 by Naoko Takeuchi
5.0
This was the volume that made me realize what a disservice the 90s anime was to Naoko Takeuchi's work.
From Usagi being turned into a complete moron, to the tragic love story of Endymion and Serenity being destroyed by a now toxic Mamoru...reading the manga makes you realize how dreadful the classic anime was in many aspects.
This volume brought me to tears, and I can't remember the last time a manga did that.
I will say that the action scenes are absolutely horrendous and nearly incomprehensible. Had to read several panels over to get a clear idea of what was happening, and didn't even register a death until another character mentioned it.
Overall, the best volume thus far.
