Q: I guess the first question that comes to mind is: What took so long? Was there a particular reason why it was out of print for almost six years?
Kodansha: We were informed that Ms. Takeuchi felt that the time was right to reintroduce Sailor Moon, not just in the U.S., but in other countries as well. For example, the new edition of manga started being published in Italy last year.
Q: It's great to hear that the new editions of Sailor Moon will be similar to the deluxe editions that were issued in Japan. Will the new Kodansha Comics English editions will have the color pages and stickers as in the Japanese edition?
Kodansha: The Kodansha Comics editions of Sailor Moon will include all of the color pages, but not the stickers.
Q: Will this edition of Sailor Moon be released in a larger trim size or will they be presented in the standard smaller paperback editions?
Kodansha: They will be in our standard 7.5" x 5" format.
Q: Will Codename: Sailor V be released in September the same time as Sailor Moon Vol. 1?
Kodansha: Yes, it will. The second volumes of both series will release in November 2011, and Sailor Moon will continue every two months after that. (NOTE: There will be 12 volumes of the regular storyline and two volumes of side stories, for a total of 14 volumes)
Q: One complaint that fans have about the prior TokyoPop editions is how much the characters' names were Anglicized (e.g. "Bunny" and "Darien"). Will the Japanese names, cultural quirks be retained in this new edition of Sailor Moon?
Kodansha: The Japanese names and cultural references will remain intact, and there will be our standard "translation notes" section in the back of the books.
Q: Another concern is that the TokyoPop editions (and to be fair, in editions published in other countries too) downplayed, if not outright changed the lesbian relationship between Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus. Will this aspect of the original Sailor Moon story be retained in this new edition?
Kodansha: The Kodansha Comics translation will stay true to Takeuchi's original storytelling vision and characterization.

Yes and no. In the first run of Sailor V, there were three volumes of a total of 15 chapters. In the revision of the manga, one long chapter was split in half, and this time there were only two volumes for a total of 16 chapters.Darth Bombshell wrote:Were there only two volumes of Codename Sailor V?
We're getting the entire manga. Like Sailor V, the Sailor Moon manga had a certain number of volumes and chapters during its first run, and then a different number of volumes and chapters for its reprint.Darth Bombshell wrote:And doing four volumes of PGSM means that they'll only be doing the Classic arc (which I think was what they did when PGSM was on TV, right?) They haven't mentioned whether we were getting the Black Moon, Infinity, Dream or Stars arc, have they?

If you could sum up Sailor Moon in no more than ten words, what would you say?
If you don't like it then what are you doing here?Treetop Maximus wrote:Blast Cannon wrote:Curiosity.

Girly crap that real men don't watch.

Though, start with Codename: Sailor V, since it's the real beginning that came even before Sailor Moon did. It too is getting its manga released in September.Blast Cannon wrote:Tekka wrote:The brand new manga re-release comes out in September, readily available from Amazon.

Excellent, I'll add it to my wish list. Thanks.
