Sailor Moon I, by Naoko Takeuchi

Usagi Tsukino is an irresponsible pre-teen who discovers she is secretly the eponymous Sailor Moon: Guardian of Love and Justice. She battles evil with guidance from her talking cat Luna and a growing band of fellow guardians. With its dynamic, impressionistic style, Naoko Takeuchi’s galactically scaled adventure-close-to-home perfectly encapsulates the emotional intensity of youth. Exhilarating, funny, at times heartbreaking and across the board a lot of fun, Sailor Moon is a classic for a reason!
