Wow, such awesome news. Hopefully the anime won't be too far behind, but even if it isn't, I'm incredibly happy to have a chance to buy the Sailor Moon manga. I think I had one or two volumes of the Mixx comics that I happened to stumble across ages ago at some store, but goodness knows where those things are now...
Plus, my best friend, who is the biggest Sailor Moon fan I know (and is partially responsible for making me an anime fan) is going to flip her lid when she hears about this. |

All we need is for Cardcapter Sakura released in BluRay and then there would be much rejoicing |

Well, I did say nostalgia fans will pick it up. This time, I was more referring to new fans like what had made Sailor Moon more successful in its heyday.
Hahaha, imagine if kids suddenly saw a phalanx of oba-sans dressed up in sailor fuku?!
Though it's doubtful how many books Kodansha will ship to Borders in the first place, while knowing Borders may never pay them back. Also, there's a chance by the release date, Borders may have already ceased to exist, so it wouldn't matter.
I remember. Though many comic shops have soured on manga after manga have left them for the bookstores. When manga largely stopped selling in comic shops, many comic shop owners have left the arena, and manga buyers have left comic shops.
Are they setting up the kids to be together? Like it was their Moonlight Destiny from the past?
Sadly, I kinda agree with you, though I didn't want to mention it. |

pretty awesome,
my older sister grew up watching Sailor moon and reading her friends mangas, which led to me sitting down with her watching marathons of Sailor moon episodes on tapes. She always wanted some of the mangas so I know what she can get for her b-day.....i'll read them first thou |

Many finacial experts see borders folding by years end, its sad because it was one of the first book stores I went to, they just cant make ends meet, but on the other hand there are tons of differant gamming shops and bookstores that pop up all the time in the they come and go though.
The electronic is the way of the future, however electronic stored media is not like having a hard copy book that will last longer then an electric device its stored on and as for her popularity, the fanbase of anime is just as big as its always been, and you know how popular sailor moon is if you ever visit a con there are tons of cosplayers from the series, just as many as videogames have. There are more and more cons popping up all the time. This will be a sure hit for at least a small segment. Also, lets not rule out an iphone or ebook version being brought out. signed Jeremy manga1 |

I don't understand what the big deal is about Borders. I've maybe been to it twice my whole life. I buy all my books through an actual bookseller, be it a local independent bookstore (hey, you can get manga through them too, and it's good to support local businesses), Barnes and Noble, and Booksamillion.
I honestly never gave Borders a dime of my manga budget, and don't believe them to be the main drive behind manga sales. If a person wants to buy a new manga, I would hope they would have the brains to figure out that Borders is not the only place to buy books. Borders has be obviously poorly managed for the last 5 years at least with how many times it has been in the financial news (and seriously, it's tricky when you have to balance a good book selection to compete with B&N AND dvds and the like to compete with other stores). Other bookstores are making it by fine, contrary to everyone claiming that the sky is falling... wait no... print media is dead. |

I can't wait for this! I moved late last year; one of the things I did was finally getting rid of my Mixx comicbooks that were collecting dust in my closet...good reason too I guess. (I do have the 2003 Japanese reprints of Sailormoon Vol 01 through 06 and both Sailor V volumes, but since I never finished collecting them this is great!)
I really hope this means an anime re-release (hopefully including Sailor Stars!) is on its way too. |

Wow this is good news. Looking forward to it. Though I can recommend it I wonder how many college kids would actually read it.

I guess it must be doing well for Kodansha- while they've yet to post their other preorders to Amazon, they've already posted the November shipping Sailor Moon and Sailor V Vol.2's..... both series vol.1's are in the top 25 manga now, and the vol.2's are around the top 50. Sailor V is based on the 2004 edition of the series, so it'll be just 2 volumes, so it'll all be out by Nov. Should make for nice X-mas presents.

I would preorder them now, but the shipping costs to the u.k. from amazon.com are expensive, so I'll wait for them to show up on amazon.co.uk, though I'm actually hoping my local comic shop will get them in so I can buy at least the first volume from there to support them, that is to say I may not preorder at all.
