Review Quotes:
"With its whimsical sense of fashion, thrilling adventure and complex backstory, Sailor Moon was like little else young girls had ever before seen on television, and miles above anything American animators were offering them. The anime led to interest in the manga, which in turn became the sort of success that made the bookstore market sit up and take notice. Scratch a modern-day manga fangirl, and you're likely to find someone who watched Sailor Moon when she was young." -
The Comics Journal
Publisher Marketing:
Its Valentine's Day and chocolates are being exchanged, but Minako Aino can't decide if she wants a crush to give her chocolates to, or just to eat them all herself. If stress of Valentine's Day wasn't already enough, now Sailor V has to contend with a chocolate shop fatting everyone up, and an evil spa draining people of their life force. It's up to her to defeat the Dark Agency and their servant deVleene and maybe even find a Valentine of her own.
