The best Manga series........2004-08-01

The last series of Sailor moon is the best. It tells more about the background of each character. And for once all the Sailor Scouts are gone. You finally get to see how Sailor Moon fights by herself! The book has beatiful artwork. Only it has terrible binding. The Sailor Moon Manga books always kinda fall apart. So be very careful with them! Get this book! You'll enjoy it and read it again and again.

This series rocks!!!.......2003-10-06

This is probley the closest you could get to the 5th season if you don't get it. Now I know you can get it on e-bay, but I don't want to get it used{eventually}.

Second chapter:

Third chapter:

Rini's picture diary:

Great Manga!.......2003-09-07

First off, glamcabbit, Manga or books are not DUBBED, they are TRANSLATED!
Ok. Now that that is straight, this manga was really good. Ther artwork is great. The story is good, but it could be better. It just isn't as good as it used to be. Even Naoko herself said that she was sorry she was so kept up with the anime that she didn't really try to make the StarS series interesting (I think)
Anyone who can't have the Sailor Moon StarS anime should get this manga. It's not SO different from the anime, accept the Villians are SOOO much smarter.
This manga starts out with Sailor Moon fighting Kitty and the Sailor Starlights finally finding Princess Kakyu. Later on in the manga, Sailor Moon is left without Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, or Uranus to help her. She then finds out the shocking truth. She is the target of Sailor Galaxia, the scout of destruction. Set upon rescuing her fellow Sailor Scout's Sailor Crystals, Eternal Sailor Moon goes to find Sailor Galaxia with Sailor Chibi Chibi (NOT SAILOR CHIBI CHIBI MOON! THAT'S ONLY IN THE ANIME!), Princess Kakyuu, and the Starlights. But Galaxia won't let Sailor Moon win that easily! Will Sailor Moon be able to get through all the obstacles in her path?
Unfortunately, this description might not be that good, considering I lost my StarS 2 manga in the Seattle Airport ! :'-(
Oh well. Hope I helped you!

PS Would actually be 4 1/2 stars, but I couldn't figure out how to do that! Anyone know?

Kawaii!.......2002-07-03

The second book is so cool too. We find out who the strange lady is that the starlights call princess, and much more questions are answered like Who the starlights really are and what happened to the senshi's and so on but i can't tell you much because then i would ruin it!
There is one cool thing at the end of this book. There is a mini comic that Naoko made for a contest winner where Chibi-usa, Hotaru and Chibi-usa's friends Ruruna and Naruru go to this cool pawn shop and they buy stuff and... i won't say anymore

Naoko Takeuchi... you've done it again.......2002-06-20

this book is brilliant. Amazing ... no words could describe it. Well, first off, from the first book, The starlights find their princess and Mamoru d.... HAVE YOU READ THE FIRST BOOk!? i can't say if you ahve or havn't so.. i won't go on about that, anyways along the way, Usagi discovers Sailor Galexia.. and gets to meet her, i won't say anymore.. i advise this book to any Sailor Moon fans, you've seen the series.. trust me, this is totaly different

A sad girl.......2005-09-30

I'm a girl who loved sailor Moon! I really did! I used to watch all the movies and shows when I was little.I loved to act out the scenes and would come home and flop down in front of the tv to watch Sailor Moon.One day,I came home to watch Sailor Moon but it wasn't on.I thought it would be on tomorrow but not tomorrow or the next day or the nest day.I was so heart broken.My favorite tv show,and they cancelled it and it wouldn't come on.I was just crying the practiclly all the time.Now I'm 12 years old and at that time I was 5,I really still miss Sailor Moon and hope to see it.I just watch the 1 video I have and it brings back memories.I really miss it......

The last volume.......2005-04-12

This is a touching volume. Bunny/Darien, Usagi/Mamoru, Serena/Darien are my favorite couple.. I loved both the Japanese and English versions. The Japanese version is my favorite and the English version is great. I use both the Japanese names, Usagi and Mamoru and the English names Bunny and Darien. In this volume, Bunny is all alone. A battle begins. Bunny faces a very hard challenge as she battles alone. When everything is gone, Bunny finds herself all alone. When she hears a voice call her name. Darien appeards. Darien and Bunny hold hands. They have a new rebirh as they decide to live their life. The future comes and Bunny wakes up in Darien's bed one night. Darien kisses Bunny to wake her up. Bunny tells him she feels like she's been watching a long dream. Darien asks her what kind of dream. Bunny then asks Darien to say it again. Darien tells her he said it many times last night. Bunny asks him to say it once more. Darien says marry me. Darien asks Bunny to marry him. Darien and Bunny kiss by his bed. Later, Darien and Bunny are together. Darien and Bunny kiss as ther are now husband and wife. Bunny tells Darien she feels something inside her and they know that their daughter will be born. Bunny asks Darien if they can protect the planet together. Darien tells her they will always be together. Darien and Bunny kiss passionately. Darien thinks to himself that Bunny will always be invincible.

At it's best, in the end.......2005-04-03

Through the Anime, Musicals and mass production of Sailor Moon, the manga has something that none of these others do. It's was a first for female anime genre which launched countless others into the spotlight. After All the story arcs, battling the past, furture and even themselves at times, Sailor Moon has been through many hardships. This is the final, and it's best, form of good vs. evil and the prevailing form of "love and justice"

Sailor Moon Stars # 3, the last book from the 18 volumes of manga, told a story from which none of the others did. Sailor Moon, for one of the first times, truly, battles on her own. Her friends, Lover and the rest of her kind had been murdered. It showed us a side of sailor moon, a side diffrent from that lazy, feeble little girl who was alway late to class, into a true heroine. Battling without the (and even against) the ones closest to her heart she must make the final fight and decision for the rest of humanity. Even with her own future-self, telling her to destroy it all, just end the line and stop the fight, she decides the fight is better than nothing, and that fighting is the way no to give up. So she makes the ulitmate sacrifice, herself, into the cauldron. Killing herself, and Chaos, she saves all sailor senshi.
This also gives us answers to the story arc of Sailor Moon R, inwhich the future senshi have awakened to a world of ice and make it a habital place once more.
Through it all, takeuchi's sailor moon sailor stars is the best work out of all the storylines.

A very moving manga........2004-10-04

The last volume of Sailor moon was great. The artwork was fantastic and I learned a lot from this manga. Sailor Moon is all alone, the sailor scouts have turned against her and now Bunny can't defeat them! The last few pages made me cry a bit. It's such a moving manga.

soooo good.......2004-02-15

i bought this book and it was really great the art work was great and thier was action and conflict wont give away what happens so u will have 2 buy it to figure it out.

sailor moon stars.......2007-07-08

i don;t have the 3 in 1 volume but i have three books separately and all of the other books. it seems differnt from the animation. i seem to like the book because the amazon quartet comes back so does sailor minimoon but that is in the book. i like the quartet. i hate it because the sailor starlights get killed. i seemed to getting to like them especially yaten. but in the animation they left home to their planet. Nyanko and nezumi were my favorite sailor animates in the book and show. at the end of the book they show everybody in wedding dresses whut is up with that? but i still like the book even for those who haven't seen the show this is your chance to get to see stars.

well worth the money.......2007-05-26

I ordered this item not too long ago and received it just recently. I was very surprised to see that it was very different from the anime. It's not to say that they have always been similar at all. Previous volumes before this one were also different from the anime, but nonetheless still similar. The manga itself seemed to go at a very fast pace, but the story was still very well worth the money that I paid for. This is a must-have for any diehard sailormoon fans out there.

cost way to much........2007-02-25

I love sailor moon but for this book the price is way too high since the other books are between $9.99 and $15.00. I love sailor moon but I am not going to pay that much for a book.

this manga rocks!.......2005-11-19

In fact all of them rock! the whole series is about a teeneger named sarena, aka sailor moon. She fights the negaverse, the blackmoon, while defending the future crystal tokyo and the moon. She has a boyfriend named mamoru/darien and a "family". her real family is on the moon....gone. THe books are great because, i think, they teach you good things to know. The tv show does that 2, but just by saying right out loud at the end. You will find out more about the books if you just read them they rock and the dvds rock butthe books are bettter. I hope this helped u!

Book Description

The last in a popular series on movie stars in the military, this handsome book provides readers with a guide to film actors of many nations who served in various branches of their own military forces. Because they appeared in Hollywood movies, many of these figures will be familiar to Americans.

A few even won Oscars. Others worked closer to home but are still readily recognizable. Most of them date their service to World War II, and the preponderance is British. Among the more than sixty stars featured are the British actors Richard Attenborough, Richard Burton, Michael Caine, Royal Navy gunner Sean Connery, Alex Guinness, Rex Harrison, Anthony Hopkins (who spent a year with the Royal Artillery during the Cold War), Ray Milland, Roger Moore (a first lieutenant with the British Army in occupied West Germany after World War II), David Niven, Michael Rennie, and Peter Ustinov. Those from Canada include Lorne Greene, Raymond Massey, and Walter Pidgeon. The Frenchmen include Maurice Chevalier and Charles Boyer. Also featured are Laurence Harvey of South Africa, Peter Finch of Australia, Oskar Werner of Germany, Toshiro Mifune of Japan, and Audrey Hepburn, who as a child was a courier for World War II resistance fighters in Holland.

While the book focuses on the stars' military experiences, it also provides information about their earlier lives and screen careers after their service. Like the other books in the series, it will have wide appeal.

Interesting Guide to Movie Stars in the Military!.......2007-05-09

INTERNATIONAL STARS AT WAR is the fourth - and last - in James Wise's 'Star' series. The first three (STARS IN BLUE, STARS IN KHAKI, STARS IN THE CORPS) dealt with U. S. actors/actresses who served in the military and/or saw combat. This time around, Wise looks at international stars and the result is as interesting, if not moreso, than its three predecessors.

Most of the 60+ stars featured in this book are British. There are several Canadians, Frenchmen, Germans, Japanese and Australians along with the occasional South African and even Rin Tin Tin! The list of actors covered is mind-boggling: Richard Attenborough, Richard Burton, Michael Caine, Maurice Chevalier, Sean Connery, Stewart Granger, Alec Guinness, Cedric Hardwicke, Hardy Kruger, Christopher Lee, Patrick Macnee, David Niven, Terry-Thomas, etc.

The "At War' title though is a bit misleading since only a small portion of the 60 saw combat. Most served during WWII but in a non-combat situation. And a small number served in the post-war years.

Be that as it may, the stories found in this volume are quite interesting, sometimes surprising and occasionally humorous, such as the military mis-adventures of blithe spirit Peter Ustinov. It might surprise readers to discover that mild-mannered Alec Guinness had an incredible combat record as did Donald Pleasance, who served in the RAF and ended up in a German POW camp. And then - deja vu - twenty years later, Pleasance starred in 'The Great Escape!' Other combat vets included David Niven, Kenneth More, Anthony Quayle and Richard Todd. Peter Sellers, Trevor Howard and others served in rear area units. Among the men who served post-war were two future James Bonds (Sean Connery and Roger Moore), Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.

Film buffs and historians will enjoy this book. Well-written and well-researched, it offers a seldom seen glimpse into the lives of some very famous people.

Entertaining anecdotal history.......1999-01-11

This book is unlikely to revolutionize anyone's understanding of the history of the US Navy or the progress of World War II (when most of its subjects served), but it *is* great fun to read. The chapters are short, and the overall effect is a lot like sitting around listening to a bunch of old-timers spinning yarns about their time at sea. Some of the stories are exciting (Eddie Albert's), some are dull (Rock Hudson's), and at least one (Jack Lemmon's) is falling-down funny.

Though it may not have been the authors' purpose, the book also highlights an important truth about modern war: most of those who serve do so by doing dull, repetitive, vital jobs far from the front lines. "Mister Roberts" may be the most realistic war story of our era, after all.

Fascinating sidelights........1997-11-04

When World War II began it was natural that many movie stars, along with thousands of other Americans, would gravitate to the U.S. Navy. Some stars' contributions were confined to extensions of their show-business careers, but others rendered heroic combat service, and still others labored unglamorously in the mundane tasks without which no war can be won
Wayne Morris (fighter ace), Aldo Ray (frogman), Bill Cosby (Korean-era physical therapist), Rock Hudson (aircraft mechanic), Cesar Romero (Chief Boatswain's Mate USCG); their stories and many others are told in this fascinating record, with bibliography, good index, and many rare photos, some from the stars' own albums. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Throughout the history of the human race there have been adventurers who must test the limits of exploration, iconoclasts who will never be satisfied with peace at the expense of ignorance. And ignorance will be dangerous indeed if it is true that the Apollyoni exist. In a Galactic Federation without war, it has been hard to imagine evil, until the expedition to Ahriman ended in such horrible violence that its lone survivor--Coni Sanderson--had to be almost completely reconstructed. For Coni's sake, Greg Sheldon wants more than anything to go beyond the perimeter to search out the truth. Richard Highstreet's father was lost on one of the last major expeditions and he, too, would travel anywhere to find out why. Outstanding courage has made Ben Wilson their commander on a desperate and illegal mission through metaspace, and he knows that if Art Cooke, the fourth crewmember of the Odyssey, knew the real reason for the voyage, he would have stopped it. It will be Ben's job to keep them from destroying each other before they reach their destination, because when that destination is reached, they may have more destruction on their hands than any of them could ever have imagined possible.

Sailor Moon is the story of a teenage girl who meets a magical cat who gives her super powers. She becomes the leader of a team of brave girls, known as the Sailor Warriors. Sailor Moon has long been justifiably renowned for the strength of its plot, its direct and honest treatment of romance and, in this uncut version, a realistic and unflinching acceptance of death as a necessary possible consequence of a righteous fight.
