You probably already know the characters and maybe even the basic story. That means that this book is a good way to \u201clearn what you already know\u201d (which I have written about in posts about <em>Time for Kids Science Scoops<\/em> and <em>365 Simple Science Experiments<\/em>, etc.). If you haven\u2019t read or watched <em>Sailor Moon<\/em> yet, you should know that it is an important representative of Japanese culture abroad\u2014even if you think it is too old.<\/p>\n<p>Sailor Moon is \u201cbubbly.\u201d That means someone with a lively or enthusiastic personality. <em>Sailor Moon<\/em> is also very \u201cbubbly\u201d \u30d0\u30d6\u30ea\u30fc, which means it really feels like a Heisei manga. If you read it, you will know what I mean. The girls are all obsessed with crystals, ball gowns, and the fantasy of marrying a prince. Sure, it feels out of date, but there is a lot of charm to this book as well. I think that the art has a lot more variety than the anime, which makes it interesting to read.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> This book is a new translation, and I think it is very well done. A lot of sound effects \u64ec\u97f3\u8a9e\u30fb\u64ec\u614b\u8a9e are in both Japanese and English, so this is a good way to compare language.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1701\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-716x1024.jpg 716w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-1074x1536.jpg 1074w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-1431x2048.jpg 1431w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-994x1422.jpg 994w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/sailormoon-scaled.jpg 1789w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
