well yeah...so i love the little note at the end about hey! your reading the wrong direction!!! and I have the urge to color it sooooo bad but its not mine so I can't I'm asking for all the available reissues for Christmas :3

I'm allready saving up for the next 3 mangas lol

The fact that you found it at your library amazes me. I never found real copies of the manga volumes anywhere, ever! You're very lucky, is it your local library?

Yeah I have codename sailor V #1 out now and I have volume 2 of both PGSM and CSV on hold now

Zomg sooooo luckyyyy @____@ I'm so jealous... I'm gonna save up to buy all the mangas now!!

You know you want it.

Very cool that they have some manga at your library. I think at most public libararies, if there is enough of a demand, they will get it.

Then it's blasphemy it's not in demand by now in my area

you can get any books through our city's library system if you send them a polite email and its still in print, even if no one wants it XD

Once I requested all these books about Czechoslovakia. Not because I wanted to read it because I saw they had the other volumes in this series of Eastern Europeans country and I wanted to have them to have the set. So what if Czechoslovakia is now nonexistent.

I guess I take my library for granted. :lolz: I've been checking out the manga volume by volume as the library gets them. I guess I just assumed that most libraries carried manga and other comics...

All the libraries I ever been to carried manga. Back in a day with I was crazy anime/manga fan I was jealous that my friend's library had a better manga selection then mine did.

I remember when I was younger the smaller library branches didn't have any manga at all. Or they had very very little. I'm pretty sure manga didn't show up in libraries till like the early 2000s when it was getting really popular.

How amazing would it have been to check out Sailor Moon. And on top of that if a library had the original set of manga.

Btw guys, Miki did that in her teens. I remember distinctly. Volume 4's cover. The copies have probably fallen apart by now

My library has a few of the old Tokyopop manga, I think 2,3,4,5 and 7 and that is how I was first introduced to the manga. They had hard covers with a white back so they were probably copies made specially for libraries. But now they also have the new ones and Sailor V ^^ I'm so happy they are popular enough for people to request them. At my library, the only way to get a book added is if it is donated or if it is extremely popular and there is a high demand for it.

My library decided to stop at Volume 6 and not order anymore...> oh well once they've all been released I'll just buy them all *u*

My libray has like a shelf that's all manga. It's mixed in with the graphic novels. But I'm gonna buy the mangas, and Barnes and Noble has TONS of manga.

I only have the first two volumes. I plan to buy more when I can, but I have to admit, the pacing is erratic, and the characters don't seem to really have time to develop.

I've been wanting the series and I kind of want to wait til a professional translator translate the "Perfect Edition" of the series, but I don't know how long I want to wait.

^I think Miss Dream is currently doing that, and their translations are quite good (I mean, I don't know Japanese at all, but its flows nicely and makes sense and such).

I know.  I have the first chapter they translated, but I really really would love to add the physical graphic novel in my hands.  I'm trying to jump start my, albeit small, Sailor Moon Collection.  Which, at this point, only has the Pioneer Pegasus Collection Dics I and II, and the new VizMedia Sailor Moon R part 1.

Yeah. I'm trying to buy them too.
