Codename: Sailor V is the story written before the more popular Sailor Moon. It was fun, but that's about it.Mina is a middle school student who finds out she's a superhero. With a talking cat and some magic items, she does her best to save the world... when she's not sleeping, eating, or generally being a ditz.
What struck me was how close this story is to Sailor Moon. They are almost the same character: lazy and resistant to being a sailor scout. I'm going to buy the re-released Sailor Moon manga soon so that I can compare them better.
For the most part the story was funny. I always love how frustrated Artemis gets. However, Mina could be downright annoying. She would sometimes try to use her sailor scout powers to help people and just make a disaster, but she never realized that she was just being obnoxious.
But, I like fun, so I will be reading the second volume when it eventually comes out.

My husband watches a lot of anime on Netflix streaming, I watch some of it with him. There's more variety to anime than I knew about, some of it is really funny and inventive. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never read anime but I am reading more graphic novels right now because I can read through them so quickly!
