Much of this manga is written well and intriguingly. This might be in part because it’s translated, but some sections read a bit awkwardly. Overall, the writing is solid. The art style and design are, as with all of Takeuchi’s work, gorgeous. 

Mina is a great main character, especially as a young MC. It’s fun to follow her around and watch her life be a fantastically chaotic mess. I wanted a bit more from Artemis, who is such a compelling little creature in the Sailor Moon mangas, but many of the characters were fun and perfect. 

Partially because, after reading the high-stakes plots in Sailor Moon, Sailor V’s plots fell just short for me. I appreciated the little callouts and setups to characters and storylines explored in the Sailor Moon mangas, but mostly it just felt a bit too fluffy for a fully intriguing take. I wanted a bit more, though I’m hopeful this will pick up in Volume 2. 

Fun, enjoyable.
