Manga Review: Pretty Guardain Sailor Moon Vol.3

                                       Pretty Guardain Sailor Moon Vol.3 Review

In this volume Usagi as Sailor Moon has to face a brainwashed Mamoru as Tuxedo Mask in battle since he is under Queen Beryl's control. Usagi ends up fully remembering her past life as Princess Serenity only to seem to repeat how her last life ended in her battle with Mamoru but in the end they are both saved by the legendary sliver crystal. Sailor Venus was able to defeat Queen Beryl in the end but Queen Metalia wasn't defeat along with her and she ended up absorbing the power of the legendary sliver crystal for sometime and even when Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus combined their powers they were unable to defeat her. In the end Sailor Moon is able to defeat Queen Metalia from drawing power of the legendary sliver crystal and she was also able to remake the Moon Castle due to her new found power. In the end everyone was able to live and their lives were peaceful for a time.

Shortly after the defeat of Queen Metalia, Usagi and Mamoru meet a young girl who we call Chibi-Usa who demands that Usagi gives her the legendary sliver crystal and ends up staying with Usagi's family after she hypnotises them into thinking she was meant to be there. Due to Chibi-Usa mysterious origians and actions Usagi doesn't trust or particularly like Chibi-Usa.

Shortly after Chibi-Usa's arrival two of the Spectre sisters arrive and challenge Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury both of the sisters are able to be defeated but both Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury are taken kidnapped after the sisters defeat. The Spectre sisters were working for someone who is called the Wise Man and both of the sisters had similar powers to Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury with Crimson Rubeus having the powers of fire and Berthier having powers having to do with water, also the sisters stragities were similar to the sailor scout they fought.

I continue to enjoy this series I still love the characters and I found the conclusion to the first arc of the series to be very enjoyable and I love how the second arc is starting off as well. I'm also continuing to really enjoy the artwork as well. Please tell me your thoughts about this volume.
