Blog # 8

Exciting news for Sailor Moon fans!  Kodansha USA, the American publishers of the manga, have decided to bring back our beloved childhood heroine to America after a long six year hiatus.  Starting in September of this year the series will be re-released along with a two volume prequel.  The series has been around since 1992 and  been one of the most popular and well-known series of all time.

Currently, their seems to be a trend where things are being brought back, re-released or re-done.  It's a good way for companies to make money., to appeal to people's nostalgia.  I don't mind it if I get to see the things I've missed from my childhood.

I'll admit that I have never read the manga series but have seen the show when it aired many years ago.  I have to say that it was a significant part of my childhood.  I remember watching it religiously and making my parents buy Sailor Moon related merchandise.  And I feel that even though they are just bringing back the manga, it still feels like they are bringing back a part of my childhood.  It may be a bit optimistic of me but I'm quite hopeful that they'll bring back the show as well.
