Kodansha USA to Publish Sailor Moon, Sailor V Manga; Very exciting news!

Hey everyone! Wonderful news!

Kodansha USA has issued a press release announcing that in September 2011, its Kodansha Comics imprint will publish Naoko Takeuchi's two-volume manga Codename: Sailor V, and will re-publish its spinoff, Sailor Moon. The latter has been condensed into 12 volume (from its original 18) and will be released on a bimonthly schedule, following the 2003 Japanese re-release of the manga.

The 1991 manga Codename: Sailor V revolves around middle schooler Minako Aino, a magical girl and crime-fighter. In the Sailor Moon spinoff, Minako Aino is the side character "Sailor V" while Usagi Tsukino ("Bunny" in the English manga and "Serena" in the English version of the TV anime adaptation) takes the lead role, the titular Sailor Moon.

Mixx Entertainment (now called Tokyopop) licensed the manga for English release in North America, but the series has been out of print for six years. Codename: Sailor V has never had an official English-language release.

This will mark the return of Sailor Moon in the US after many years, something to be celebrated! And hey, more potential people to get into Sailor Moon and become interested in the project! ^^

This is great news. I love the idea of owning an actual copy of the manga with good translation. The fact that it's 12 volumes instead of 18 is nice too because I'm just a poor college student. Usagi_Hah

Code Name Sailor V never interested me as much but I'll probably buy that as well. I would like to read the beginning of Minako's adventures.

I am looking forward to this. UsagiHappy
