Tokyopop to Release New Sailor Moon Manga!!! (maybe?) 

HUGE NEWS!!! (Thanks to Genvid for the heads up!) Tokyopop has announced at this year's Otakon that they have renegotiated the rights for the Sailor Moon manga and will be releasing it within the next two years!!! It hasn't been confirmed if they will be translating the new re-released manga that was released in Japan recently with new artwork and slightly adjusted script or if they will simply be redoing the original manga with a more consistent translation and right to left reading (Japanese) style. We should find out fairly soon though. This is great news! Not only do fans finally get the chance to complete their Sailor Moon manga collection but this also has the possibility to bring in a lot of new fans as well as reignite old fans' excitement! Stay tuned for more! Update: Seems that a few fans may have misinterpreted what they heard as several people are saying that Tokyopop only expressed their interest in negotiating for the rights to the Sailor Moon manga and releasing it within the next two years. Will keep you posted on updates! Like this site? Subscribe to Moonkitty.NET's site feed or email newsletter to get our updates as soon as they're online. Sailor Moon Says!

That's great! I missed out on the Sailor Moon thing when I was little, but love it now, and I would really like to read the manga... in real book text! =)!

I so hope they get it though it's beginning to look more and more as if they're still hoping to get it and aren't any closer than they were a few years ago. :(

Fingers crossed though! I hope if they do they release the stickers that came with the Japanese versions as well!

I've been looking to get the manga for a few years now, but I've been holding out for a better English release. I'm so happy that they're still working on it.

Me too. I'm actually just glad though that the fandom wants it! Way to go us!
