>>290922367>Chapter 2We're starting over?
>you know what would fit our big climatic final battle?>a bunch of SoL chapters of the sailor with no personalityand weirdly they are better than the main story
And that's it. What a dork.Are your standards high?

>>290922854A maiden in love is a beautiful thing Just the level they should be Thanks as always OP!
>>290922541they know...
>>290922636They treat him like this, but in the anime, Umino FUCKS
Ami is a cute
>>290922854Thank you for posting!
>>290922375I see people reading in the bath all the time in manga, but how? Wouldn't the book get horribly wet? How are they able to take a bath without getting their hands wet?
>>290922854Thanks OPThese chapters have been so much nicer. I'm sure this means as soon as I have to read at work tomorrow, there'll a 70 page monster
>>290922979Cute
>>290927090I've done it. You have to have some sort of shelf next to the bath, but the sequence roughly is:1. Place book on shelf2. Undress, get in bath3. Settle in (remember, Japanese baths are for soaking!)4. Pick up book, readWhen you're done, you put the book down and then get out of the bath.>>290927759Agreed, I was losing interest in the manga but now I'm looking forward to it again. These goofy SoL chapters are just what it needed. Takeuchi is actually best at this sort of thing, her trying to do all the epic stuff in the regular chapters was a terrible idea.
>>290922771>sailor with no personalityThat’s Mamoru though or Manga Haruka, who’s literal only purpose is just to be yuritroon shipbait and she has no other character besides “MUH PURINSESU!1!1!”>>290923702>but in the anime, Umino FUCKSLiterally the template for Alphafux, Betabux, Naru only settles for him when the Chad Nephrite bites the dust.
>>290922402she is perfect
>>290922623holy shit its the nerd
>>290922854these character driven chapters have been wonderful
>>290929166>4. Pick up book, readI guess I'm surprised the book doesn't get wet at this stage. I just feel like I'd absent-mindedly get my hands wet and wet the book
>>290922854Thanks, anonsito.
>>290930713Anyone who says the Senshi have no personality in the manga are full of shit, lack of screentime does not automatically equal no personality.The ones who really lose in the manga and have no personality are most of the villains, but not really our main cast.
>>290922424>N-Oh my god, Ami-chan.>>290922541Those eyes>>290922589!>>290922854That's with the beedroom eyes. Jeez, Ami, calm down. Thanks, OP.
To all who liked the recent chapters, I suggest giving the anime a try.It's basically much, much more of that.
bump for late readers
>>290922623>tech ineptUsagi's computer arc was retconned,Also luna would be able to do that.
>>290930099Nah it's more like umino cucked him from beyond the grave
>>290936145>usagi on the internetHumanity is in danger.
>>290927090Don't splash around and you'll be fine
>>290922541>The Inners see more schizo posting
>>290922854Thanks OP. Depends on what you're asking about.>>290922979Nice
Everywhere I look up everyone seems to be saying Hotaru doesn’t actually enjoy killing and destroying things, that she hates that part of her nature etc. But then why did she say that:>How beautiful is the agony at the moment of destructionClearly she enjoys her job
Manga Rei and Ami are too different from their anime versions
>>290939644The anime is based for curing Ami’s eyes problems and Rei’s misandry
>>290939644>Manga Rei and Ami are too different from their anime versionsObviously Rei but how is Ami so different? She’s one of the closer ones imo.
>>290934131>lack of screentime does not automatically equal no personality.It does though. If a character has no screen time but we're told that they're nice or strong or smart or whatever, that's hardly sufficient
>>290927090I often use my phone on the bath. You just have to be careful.
>>290922402oh, we missed her bd
>>290940844Yeah but you can just put your phone in a bag. Not as easy with a book
>>290922589>bra strapyes
>>290934131>Anyone who says the Senshi have no personality in the manga are full of shitthat's me, the one you're responding too. I still think that before these dedicated chapters the girls were shallow caricatures. I'm baffled that we didn't have chapters like these sooner. you sound like the type of guy who gets angry when people have a different opinion of something you like, so you won't get it.
>>290940856I've never put my phone in a bag.
>>290940914>that's me, the one you're responding too. I still think that before these dedicated chapters the girls were shallow caricatures. Even Mina?
>>290922367Which character(s) would date and is it different from the series?
I haven't watched Sailor Moon since I was a child and I remember nothing from it other than I really liked Ami. I still love this kind of character design. Is it worth it to watch the show for her?
>>290943234If you don't mind the monster of the week format and like slice of life, sure.
>>290943234Ami got her own very well animated, movie quality special in the 90s, Ami's first love. You're lucky that Japan shares your taste, none of the other girls got that kind of attention.The show is fun and very stylish, but Ami doesn't do too much unless it's specifically an episode about her, such is the fate of most characters after a while.
>>290922375>sparkling waterWhy?
>>290945271What, you don’t like drinks that taste like shit?
>>290942320All of them but especially Hotaru "I miss the silence" TomoeAnd no
SOON
>>290922854Incredibly mean of them. What's wrong with his looks?
>>290891805>>290871499Is this really what all women dream of, or is it what female authors think their readership dreams of?
>>290948282He’s a disgusting bespectacled otaku. He’s lucky he’s not in prison
>>290948433anon are you lost
Would you?
>>290922367Chapter 3: Rei and Minako's Girl's School Battle?!
>>290948605Nah, it was just funny that 2 dailies got similar dream sequences the same day.

>>290948675fart daily
>>290949113you're doing the lord's work.
>>290948282>>290948574I recently read a shoujo manga series I had bought at a flea market some time ago (it's called Kabushikigaisha Love-Cotton), where one of the main characters, Tadashi, is a short, bespectacled boy who is very kind and capable, but severely lacking in confidence. He wears those really thick, round glasses you usually can't see his eyes through, but there are a few scenes where you do see them, and he's nowhere near ugly. Cute, in fact, I'd say! I found him charming in his own way, but in the popularity poll, the readership ranked him BELOW a side character. None of the other main characters were.
>>290948910I now ship them
>>290948753Always thought it was weird that the shinto priestess goes to a stereotypical catholic girls school. But maybe not.
>>290950912the Japs don't really view Shintoism as a religion anymore, more like a simple understanding of the world they can overlay onto any actual religious beliefs they have individually. so, a Christian Jap and a Buddhist Jap and an Atheist Jap will all have some degree of Shinto beliefs mixed in.
>>290948910It's a fun chapter and I had a blast reading it, but as a dedicated Reifag I'm sad she has to share with MinakoEntire manga should've been shit like these last four chapters
>>290951513i agree it would add a lot for those high stakes chapters if we had any conection to the sailors, also would help if they werent so useless
>>290949510>KabushikigaishaKiss Kana
>>290949510maybe they ranked him so low because he's a boring character to read about.
>>290948627I've always wanted to be a bike saddle.
>>290922755Is this bimbofication?
>>290948764>>290948840>>290948853>>290948876>>290948901>>290948910>Some people will look at these panels straight in the face and still try and claim Naoko wasn’t yuribaiting and isn’t a yuritardFuck me I even forgot about the part of this short story where a girl from Rei’s class unironically tries to confess to her and then all the rest of the girls start fangirling and crushing on Venus after she saves them, it’s so much worse than I thought.
>>290948910If only Mina had her own manga, she seems like she'd make a good protagonist
>>290953274She should get a new catchphrase though, her current one is kinda generic
>>290953230Naoko has never been against Yuri, just yuri drama. She understands that once you make your series about it, it never stops being that.
>>290954244>Naoko has never been against Yuri, just yuri drama.What do you mean? What’s the difference? What she’s really against is yaoi like the fujo-hating cunt she is.>She understands that once you make your series about it, it never stops being that.The manga she was planning after Sailor Moon, PQ Angels is a literal yuri series though.
>>290948978Thanks, anonsito.
>>290953012V-chan is already a bimbo.
>>290954666>What do you mean? What’s the difference? Yuri drama makes an entire series about yuri relationships. You know how yurifags grab onto any series that is even yuri adjacent and make it all about that relationship? Yeah, that's why. It's also why Japan is very strict about segregating yuri from non-yuri.
>>290955911>Yuri drama makes an entire series about yuri relationships. But that’s exactly what Naoko did with PQ Angels and wanted to do with Sailor Moon, she made a whole-ass yuri love triangle in the manga concerning Usagi/Haruka/Michiru and Mamoru was obviously just a corporate mandate character and he was originally supposed to be a woman.
Anyone else think Mamoru is a completely useless character and the manga would’ve been better off going full yuri like the fujoschizo thinks it is?
>>290957473He's not totally useless. IIRC he was much more useful early on, but unironically got power crept out of relevance.
>>290948709Didn't she work with the police for at least a year?
>>290957750Still the franchise would be better off if neither he nor Chibi-Usa existed. He’s a boring character who only serves as kidnap bait, and she’s an annoying one who brought out a lot of the series’ worst elements and slowly began to take over the narrative whether manga or anime.
>>290948739>so demandingIS THAT THE BOSS?
>>290953230They're called jokes. Just don't be autistic and you'll see it.
>>290958071>JokesYuribaiting “jokes,” meanwhile Naoko would never dare joke about yaoi.
>>290958094>“jokes,”No just jokes. Played for laughs. They're not serious.
>>290953230a) As anon said, these are pretty clearly jokes, not actual shippingb) Just as boys schools are hotbeds of homoeroticism (as taught by any number of British boarding school books), so are girl's schools hotbeds of admiring crushes. In fact girl's schools are even worse because there's nothing to hold them back. Sorry, but all those hormones gotta go somewhere
>>290958136So where are my yaoi jokes then? Meanwhile not only didn’t she put any in she retconned all of Ikuhara’s serious yaoi ships. and is now trying to do the same with Gon/Killua in HxH
>>290958148>Reinako isn’t being shippedThe upcoming Stars arc and PGSM would disagree with you.
>>290957750It’s funny but despite getting power nerfed in the anime he also got a huge boost in desirability ironically enough. Almost all the Senshi sans the Outers seemed to have a crush on him, including quite a few villains and civilian side characters, whereas in the manga only Chibiusa, Beryl, and Pluto were interested in him.
>>290957993Ikuhara…
>>290957993>Princess Peach keeps getting kidnapped so Mario can rescue her>Women aren’t damsels in distress to be rescued by men, this is sexist>Mamoru keeps getting kidnapped so Usagi can rescue him>He’s just kidnap bait and doesn’t deserve her, he’s not entitled to getting saved, this is sexistI’m tired bossFeminists should just admit openly that they just hate heterosexuality at this point, because that 100% is what it isThanks fucking god I am a man because I’m already tired of faggots invading my spaces, I can’t imagine what it must be like for women
>>290960571>I can’t imagine what it must be like for womenWe’ve already experienced it thanks to Naoko ruining the Magical Girl genre by avoiding all the yuritroon Ojisans in.
>>290960571>>290960719>avoiding*inviting
>>290960719You’re pro lgbt so you’re also part of the problem normal women have to face.
>>290960868Yuri and Yaoi are not modern westernized woke LGBT movement tourist.
>>290961488You defend homosexuals in real life as well.
>>290960571>He’s just kidnap bait and doesn’t deserve her, he’s not entitled to getting saved, this is sexistWho here ever complained about Mamoru as a damsel being sexist? No one here hates him cause of some retarded culture war bullshit but because it makes him a boring character and we just think he should do more than amount to merely being Male Princess Peach.Damsels in Distress are garbage characters whether male or female.
>>290961689>No one here hates him cause of some retarded culture war bullshitSo it’s only a coincidence that everyone who does also shills F/F pairings?
>>290961723>So it’s only a coincidence that everyone who does also shills F/F pairings?Like who? If you’re talking about outside of /a/, most people who hate on him isn’t cause of culture war shit but because of Ikuhara making him look bad by aging him up into a pedo, or casuals who only saw the DIC dub which made him unnecessarily mean and aged him up even further. I see Chibi-Usa get far more (deserved) hate than Mamoru ever does.
>>290961787>Like who?All of them.
>>290958148
>>290948641>HxHHuh, guess Naoko and Togashi were already together back then.>>290948656And Rei is for...?>>290948739Unf. I think that is very pretty.>>290948785>glasses bloomers twinbraids Mina with tummy peekYou're killing me>>290948978Thanks, OP. In some respects, but I can mind my manners if I have to.
>>290961990Ikuhara is the only one who hates Mamoru because he prefers homo ships as far as I’m aware.
>>290948978Thank you for posting.
>>290957473No. I can understand thinking that in the anime but not in the manga. He's the best support Usagi receives in most arcs because whenever she's faltering at the end, he comes in to give her a confidence boost and their love enables her to destroy the inciting villain. I thought last arc made this glaringly obvious what with how Nehalennia couldn't even interrupt their power up kiss for several pages.The other girls don't even get to do that much most of the time even though they're the ones caught up in the fighting in the first halves of the arcs.
>>290958161Because yaoi isn't funny.
>>290962067I miss dowman...
>>290957953Maybe that's why she dislikes them
>>290963491>Ikuhara is the only one who [PROJECTION]
sailor bump
>>290968862>OP might allow it but I won't!
Would you dare look over your shoulder?Do you fear what's coming 'round the bend?Do you know what comes while you're growing older?Would you ever turn your back again?
>>290967150>[PROJECTION]Dude, I don’t even dislike Mamoru, he’s a bit boring but is a largely okay guy that I understand gets unfairly maligned due to Ikuhara’s misrepresentation of him, he also serves as good fujo fanservice in the anime with his ships with Fiore and Fish-Eye (whom he has better chemistry with to begin with and really should’ve ended up with one of them instead of Usagi). But it’s a well known fact in the fandom that Ikuhara disliked him because of his fairytale prince archetype (which he would go on to deconstruct and criticize this concept in Utena with the character of Akio) which is why he aged him up and tried to make him look like even more of a pedo by dating Rei.The only SM character I dislike and the real problem of the franchise is Chibiusa, who’s a disgusting fetishbait lolicon character in the manga (and let’s be real, the anime too considering she’s the Senshi that gets the most sexualized with ACTUAL pantyshots), and an annoying mean spirited brat in the anime who’s largely the reason why SuperS sucks as a season as much as it does.
>>290969881>it’s a well known fact in the fandom that Ikuhara disliked himNo it's not, and no source was ever provided by anyone who claimed he does.
>>290970031>no source It’s evident in the anime, otherwise why would he needlessly age Mamoru up and then call him out for being a pedo several times in-universe?
>>290970560>It’s evident in the animeIt isn't.Now provide source or fuck off.
>>290922367The Secret Hammer Prince Hall
And that's it. This chapter was placed at the end of the final volume but I'm putting it here. Would have been a weird way to end the manga. Wiki says it takes place before the next arc so it should be fine. Are you an otaku?
>>290971605Chubster Mask is the real protagonist Yeah I'd say soThanks as always OP!
>>290971605Thanks OP. These last chapters have been great and I would have LOVED if that's how the manga ended.>Are you an otaku?Tooooatally
>>290971605>pantyshots of literal lolis>Mamoru being an actual creepy pedo compared to how the anime tried to portray himAnd people will still try and argue that the manga is more “female oriented” than the 90’s anime and isn’t directly pandering to the pedo Ojisans that swarmed and ruined this genre, well here’s your proof right here. Just like Manga Haruka is described as “having the soul of both a man and woman” Naoko obviously has the spirit of a perverted straight male yuritroon despite being a biological female.>>290953230>>290971086Delulu anti-yuri schizo, please take a look at these panels and still try and tell me Naoko isn’t deliberately yuribaiting here, what is the non-yuri heterosexual explanation for these panels? I’ll be waiting…Also Chibitaru is a disgusting pedo ship obviously meant to pander to the lolicons who are the main audience for yuri, thank GOD they weren’t ship teased in the anime.
>>290971040>I'm actually 902 years oldwait what
>>290972437One of those things where they found a way to extend the average person's lifespan in her timeline. Chibi-Usa is a bit of an anomaly, though, as she seems to be locked in the form of a child unlike everyone else.
>>290972189It's "yuri baiting" because they... are friends?
>>290971207I need to find this store
>>290971421>>290971434hhhhggggggnnnnnhn
>>290969881>pedo>dating ReiPedophilia means attraction to pre-pubescent features. Rei and the other senshi her age have practically adult bodies, therefore making attraction toward them ephebophilic.
>>290972611>It's "yuri baiting" because they... are friends?You don’t get jealous and possessive over your friends.>>290973155>pedo>dating ReiThat’s how the 90’s anime framed it in-universe at least. Motoki thought it was weird Mamoru was dating a middle-schooler and said he would never do that because he views the girls as like his little sisters.
>>290972437a crystal did it
>>290972189>non-yuri heterosexual explanationSee, this is how everyone can tell you're a fudanshi, not a fujoshi. Because young girls legit do get crazy jealous over friendships. It's a comedic exaggeration of something the actual audience would have experience with.
>>290971605>are you an otakui'm following the genshiken daily as we speak

Do people hate chibi usa?
>>290974125Only the feminists who larp this franchise do
>>290971276already starting to fill out her training bra, Chibster has a BIG future ahead of her!
>>290971605What the fuck did I just readAnd yes, probably
>>290972876I get it, those outfits are irresistable.
>>290973332>>290973806I’m a woman (female) and I can tell you right now that I never once got jealous over any of my friends having other friends, because I’m straight and not autistic and you moids obviously don’t know how women work.>>290974125>Do people hate chibi usa?Yes, she’s known as the Scrappy Doo of the franchise for a reason.>>290974157>Only feminists hate ChibiusaWtf feminist reason is there to even hate her? Take your meds, she’s not even a male character so I don’t know how you even came to that schizo conclusion in the first place.No most people hate her because she’s an annoying brat who took over the show + is creepy incest and pedobait. I can guarantee you that not a single person hates Chibiusa for feminist reasons, only Mamoru gets hardcore hate from feminists.
>>290975344>is creepy incest and pedobait>I can guarantee you that not a single person hates Chibiusa for feminist reasons
>>290975344>I’m a woman (female) and I can tell you right now that I never once got jealous over any of my friends having other friends, because I’m straight and not autistic and you moids obviously don’t know how women work.No, you don't and that makes your larp more apparent
>>290975412women hate Rini because they identify with Serena, so when they competed for Darien's attention they saw it as a younger girl making a move on the man they had their eye on. something women instinctively are terrified of. There is nothing a woman fears and hates more than a younger prettier girl existing in their sphere of influence.
>>290975344>Yes, she’s known as the Scrappy Doo of the franchise for a reason.weird she is kinda inofensive, except when she SA'd her dad but lets forget about it
>>290975893your honor, she was brainwashed and evil at that time
>>290974125It's mostly something that people who mainly remember her for how annoying the R anime made her (and how the SuperS anime had her hijack the story at the expense of everyone else) do. She's a ray of sunshine in the manga and S.
>>290975893That was Black Lady. Doesn't count.
>>290971605Thanks, anonsito.
>>290971054Absolute super-cuties spotted!Unexpected reaction from Mamoru, though.>>290971190>nobody says "ko-gal" anymoreWhat? I thought that's still a thing, let alone in the 90s...>>290971207So, somebody had these made for their own... satisfaction, and pawned them off?>>290971476Kek. Kinda reminds me of S01E31 of the anime.>>290971605Wait, what? What the heck was that.Thanks, OP. Good on you for putting this chapter here.>Are you an otaku?I'd think so, but I sometimes feel like a total poser compared to some other anons.
>>290979650Sailor Gucci and Sailor Chanel*
>>290975412>incest and pedophilia are exclusively feminist issues now for some reasonAll normalfags of both genders get repulsed by those subjects on both the left and the right, it’s not a particularly feminist issue at all.
>>290922367Where's the chapter 1 backlink reeee
>>290972437She's a dragon.
>>290971054So this is what 3rd graders look like in japan huh
>>290981374>So this is what 3rd graders look like in japan huhNo it’s just Naoko being a pedo and pandering to her otaku pedo audience.
>>290981210>All normalfags of both genders get repulsed by those subjects on both the left and the rightNot in anime and manga no. Being unable to tell reality and fiction apart is a distinctively liberal feature
>>290981989>Being unable to tell reality and fiction apart is a distinctively liberal featureBro your conservatives who try to ban and censor any and all fictional homo content cause they think it’s trying to “groom the children” and turn them gay? Sailor Moon’s own DIC dub is a prime example of this.
>>290948625Wrong thread my dude
>>290981989You're delusional if you think conservatives are any better. Whether the accusations are ones of "degeneracy" or "objectification", censorship of art and the suppression of creativity is being pushed by both sides.
>>290948753>where you'd be whipped on the rearSpanking fetish manga
>>290982487>Whether the accusations are ones of "degeneracy" or "objectification", censorship of art and the suppression of creativity is being pushed by both sides.Sometimes we need Daddy Government to step in and protect us from those that are a corrupting influence. I don’t think anyone wanted to see that scene of Black Lady making out with Mamoru for example, most of the fandom is in unanimous agreement that that was a censorship changed DIC changed for the better.
>>290982394>>290982487DIC was retarded but pretending no western work nowadays promotes irl homosexuality is disingenuous.Meanwhile nothing promotes pedophilia or incest irl.
>>290982591>I don’t think anyone wanted to see that scene of Black Lady making out with Mamoru for exampleI did. It’s fucking hot. I’m not even that big on incest in anime (I just outright ignore the fact that it’s incest) but Black Lady reverse raping a guy is hot no matter the context.
>>290983492>Black Lady reverse raping a guy is hot no matter the context.You are genuinely sick in the head, not only was that her father but that’s also a child.
>>290922367Thank you very much for this, op
>>290975893>kinda inofensive>except when she tried to rape her own fatherThat is quite literally the most offensive thing a character could ever do.
>>290983776Black Lady doesn’t look like a child, and Chibiusa is actually 900 years old canonically. It’s also a drawing.You libtards are mentally ill.
>>290971040Wait, Harvard is in Japan?I always thought it was in England or something.
>>290984515You thought right, Mamoru is going overseas.All in the next chapter (if it's not another side story, which didn't sound like it since OP posted this one earlier).
>>290984576>You thought rightNevermind you didn't, of course it's not in England, lol. But it's not in Japan, either.
