Review:
Codename
Sailor V is a classic and iconic shoujo Manga that is still amazing over 30
years later.
In Sailor
V, volume 1 we see Minako as the titular Sailor V. She is a normal 13 year old
girl until a talking cat informs her
that she is a warrior named Sailor V. We follow her adventures as she learns to
grapple with being a teenager and super soldier.
I loved
Minako. She's so relatable, I remember when I was her age all I wanted to do
was read comics, play video games and eat...well actually at 36 I haven't
really changed lol. She's irresponsible but highly capable and exceedingly
endearing. I thoroughly enjoyed her banter with her partner Artemis whose much
more responsible and sensible. There's some interesting bad guys and side
characters too.
What the
art lacks in technical skill it makes up for with whimsy, delicate lines, and
beautiful girlish flourishes. Theres stunning color chapter breaks as well that
are total eye candy. The colors are vibrant and beautiful.
If you love
shoujo manga and magical girls this is absolute required reading. Rush to get
this copy of Sailor V, the series that inspired the world wide beloved classic
Sailor Moon.
