Volume 8 continued where Volume 7 left off, finishing up the story of the Dead Moon.
It continues with Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask being very sick while the other Sailor Scouts are fighting against the Dead Moon Kingdom. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask try to come out anyway, and they discover some new powers within Mamoru himself! Also, our Pegasus friend is freed.
A lot happens as we conclude this chapter filled with nightmares consuming the planet. See the third pic for one of Sailor Moon's personal nightmares, and one that will haunt me forever.
The last handful of chapters of this volume are more Sailor Moon side stories telling tales about individual Sailor Scouts, their background, and a quick hit self contained story. They were cute, but I am looking forward to the next volume as we proceed the plot forward overall.
Personally, I have really been enjoying the mainline plot a lot more than the seemingly filler side stories. There have been a few good ones, but overall the mainline plot following all of the Sailor Scouts has been my absolute favorite part of reading this. Can't wait for more when Volume 9 of this edition drops.
So after pausing on Korra while complaining about writing I binged Sailor Moon... and Jesus Christ! There is some creepy ass shit in that show.
Like, can we talk about the grown ass adult X-ray visioning a 14 year old girl's body? The age gap and toxic idea of "romance" that the show promotes?!
I will lie to you Oh! That's fine! I love you anyways random person I've met like twice in my life
Hey girl, you're intoxicated. Let's kiss
I don't care if he's seeing someone. Gotta take my shot, right? (admittedly mild compared to the rest)
Oh no! We have to prevent a potential future where a Sailor Guardian has her clothes violently sliced off in a graphic enough premonition animation
Flying solo today with the kids and Mrs out after I got home from work.
So, decided to get myself some sushi for dinner and catch up on some Sailor Moon. I'm on Volume 7 of the Naoko Takeuchi Collection re-releases of Sailor Moon.
This volume is all plot, no side stories, with a new enemy arriving - the Dead Moon. They set up a circus in town and there's an eclipse; no stars show up in the sky. Throughout the volume, each of the Sailor Scouts loses their power and digs down to find a new, more potent power.
This includes our trio who ran off to raise Sailor Jupiter as a throuple in the woods. They regain their powers, all four of them, and are on their way to rejoin everyone to eventually take on the Dead Moon Circus and their leaders.
It's a solid volume and there's some concerning magical sicknesses hitting Mamo and, by the end, maybe Usagi too. We also meet a powerful new character who can project as an alicorn.
We are counting all of your votes for Sweet Sixteen so we can drop our Elite Eight match-ups tomorrow.

I am watching Sailor Moon S: The Movie now, my first entrance into any Sailor Moon anime. I had recently read the short story manga that the movie is based on.
And, frankly, this may be the greatest anime of all time for this scene alone.
This #SailorMoon#FanArt is from the same era as the #PixelArt llamas from the other day (including the colors from the #NES palette). Thanks for stopping by to see my #MastoArt, and a shout-out to all the other #BSSM fans out there.
Il 21 febbraio 1995, 29 anni fa', è andato in onda per la prima volta nelle tv italiane Sailor Moon!
Usagi Tsukino è una normale quattordicenne, poco incline allo studio e allo sport, un po' sbadata e piagnucolona. La sua vita cambia quando, un giorno, salva una gattina nera da un gruppo di ragazzini.
Minato City in Tokyo will celebrate Sailor Moon in March with manhole covers around the wealthy neighborhood of Azabu-juban. The event brings up an interesting question: Just how rich was Tsukino Usagi's family?!
Since I have not really posted up about them in a while, here are some of my anime figures I have at work. Don't mind the Parks and Rec poster behind it.
I have three Q-Posket figures of Sailor Mars, Sailor Moon, and Nami from One Piece.
I also have the three cosplaying figures. My favorite are Pikachu as Nezuko and Nezuko as Pikachu. I just find them funny.
Which is your favorite? Do you have some figures on display at your desk / office?
I'm Kahlil, but you may call me Lunæros! I'm extremely new here, just making my way downtown, migrating from the abdominal X app for a plethora of reasons.
This weekend I finally got to reading #SailorMoon Volume 5, from #Kodansha's new Naoko Takeuchi Collection reprint of the series. Let me tell you - fantastic.
This set of chapters introduced us to Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who had such a fantastic introduction. The duo as Mugen Academy students infiltrating the school; Sailor Uranus' sexuality and gender expression; and the pair's willingness for brutality introduced some new elements into the series that just made it hard to look away. I plowed through this volume this weekend.
Overall, solid volume, can't wait until the next one arrives for me in January.
I have never really done #ShelfieSunday before, mostly because I do not own tons of physical manga. I also have a gaggle of kids who take up shelf space, so I have more in stacks in my room 🤭
Here are a couple quick pics of some of my manga shelved. There's some other random books intermixed.
Feel free to comment below on what stands out to you!
