Sailor Moon Was Never Faithful to the Manga — And ’90s Anime Fans Loved it

Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon manga is brilliant, but the popular 1990s anime took the story to another level. While a faithful adaptation of the manga would have likely pleased fans, it wouldn’t have achieved the same worldwide success as the anime. The anime, with its extended storylines, focus on everyday life, and lighthearted tone, transformed the epic romance between Usagi and Mamoru into a global phenomenon. The manga is a strong foundation, beautifully illustrated and delivering on its promises, but the anime is what truly captured the hearts of audiences around the world.
