| I've been a fan of the Japanese version of Sailormoon since I was a little girl, so when I saw this book I wanted to buy it. It goes into detail about specific places used in the series that actually exist (or are based on) in Japan! It also goes in depth on characters and their backgrounds of Japanese mythology, religion, etc. An example: the three talismans that belong to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are based on the talismans related to the myth pertaining to the birth of the first Japanese emperor. It all ties in together and shows you how much Naoko Takeuchi put into her story. |
