Another great installment in this nostalgic trip. My least favorite character, Chibi Moon, has appeared and in this volume, we get a glimpse of the future and understand why Chibi shows up. I tried not to think too hard about the logistics, because time travel is involved and even detailed sci-fi novels have a hard time pulling that off without leaving a lot of questions. What I'm saying is, don't question the rules of the Sailor Moon universe because you won't get answers. There's also the history of what happened to the Moon Kingdom of the future and that was fun, because I've forgotten most of the plot. As usual, the villians are cheesy, the powers of the scouts are nebulous - new attacks and gadgets just seemingly appear and I guess I'll never understand what their powers really are or where they come from - and Usagi is still adorably whiny and pathetic (and uncomfortably 14). We also get to meet Pluto, one of my favorite scouts!

I love having these big, beautiful, glossy editions and I'm really enjoying my reread of this manga series. ( )
