RELATED: How Sailor Moon's Live-Action Remake Brought The Series Full Circle If you're new to Sailor Moon, this isn't the place to start. However, due to the flipped artwork, they're only really appealing to those with nostalgia for the early days of imported manga or those who really like the DiC dub. TOKYOPOP lost the rights to publish the Sailor Moon manga in 2005, making it very hard to find these volumes today. While the dub is nostalgic for many, it also ignores the series' roots.
Because of this, the characters all use their dub names. This release was designed to tie in with DiC's dub of the anime. At first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking that this series is a bootleg photocopy as opposed to an official release. On top of that, this series also had low-quality printing, making everything look faded.
The flip throws off the page composition and makes the art look strange, with the added bonus of making the action scenes difficult to follow. While this was understandable in the 1990s when manga was rare in the US, To the modern eye, it's obvious that something's off. This is because TOKYOPOP flipped the pages so that they read from left-to-right. However, these releases are infamous in the Sailor Moon fandom.
TOKYOPOP released the first English translation of Sailor Moon.
