When I was buying manga in high school, it was very difficult to find the first volume in a series and even more difficult to find all the volumes in a given series. So, although I grew up watching Sailor Moon on Toonami, I had very little exposure to the manga.

When I realized they were coming out with renewal editions that were going to be true to the original, I figured it was a good time to finally read them.

This first volume is a lot of set-up and "monster of the day" type stuff and it is a bit on the cheesy side when if you think too much about it - but I'm going to let myself enjoy the sentimental side and try not to over think it. ;)
