Re: Sailor Moon
(Anonymous) 2014-02-06 12:46 am (UTC)(link)Volume one of the short stories contains Chibi-Usa's Picture Diary, three short stories about Chibi-Usa. I think they were written/set at the end of the second, third and fourth arcs respectively. The stories are short and simple with lots of gags but it's nice to see Chibi-Usa getting some development as a senshi as well as spending time with her friends.
Volume 1 also contains the Exam Battle stories- The Melancholy of Makoto-chan, Ami-chan's First Love and Rei and Minako's Girl's School Battle. They're set between the 4th and 5th arc, as they detail the girls passing their high school entrance exams.
The last story is The Secret of Hammer Price Hall. It's a short story that was originally published in the 17th volume of the manga and doesn't seem to fit anywhere into the timeline as such. It's another story focusing on Chibi-Usa, but one of the characters is based on a real guy who won an auction to appear in the manga!
Volume 2 of the short stories is primarily made up of 'The Lover of Princess Kaguya' which was originally volume 11 of the manga. If you've ever seen the S movie, this is the manga upon which it was based. I personally loved that movie and it turned out that it was quite faithful to the manga. I think it's set sometime in the third arc of the story, as Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru appear, but Hotaru doesn't.
Volume 2 also has Casablanca Memory, a rather melancholic story about Rei and some backstory for her. It's bittersweet and pretty. Again, not sure where it fits into the story.
Finally, Parallel Sailor Moon finishes off the short stories. It's a parallel universe, so it has no bearing on the story and was originally published in the Volume Infinity artbook (a doujinshi artbook Naoko Takeuchi published herself with tons of art from her friends, assistants and seiyuu from the anime). It's... weird. I personally wasn't a fan.
My verdict, though? They're worth picking up, if just for the extra content and character development (and great for if you wanted the whole collection!)
