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.
