Sailor V

This German-language edition of Sailor V collects the original manga adventures of Minako Aino, the energetic superheroine who serves as a precursor to the more famous Sailor Moon. Published by Egmont Ehapa beginning in 2000, the series ran for only three issues, offering a compact introduction to the character created by Naoko Takeuchi. It matters as a standalone showcase of the first Sailor Guardian, establishing the magical-girl formula that would soon captivate a global audience.
