Sailor Moon Manga All Color Edition - Discussion (Vol 3-4 announced)

[Yinggirl]

I'll wait till someone gifts me Kobo cards for my birthday. They got 5 volumes in their store of the Eternal Edition. Apparently, they don't have Volume 5.

If there is a rumored of a colored ink eReader, so going to pick these colorful manga editions once they come to Kobo.

Can't wait to see Uranus' arm, unedited & in brilliant colors!

Or that frame will be left black and white.

Coloring staff: Hey, I've noticed something weird in this panel.
Editor: OK, leave it for now - lemme ask Takeuchi about it 1st.

(Somehow the editor & everyone forgot about it in the end.)

I just made a comparison. They replace Hiragana words with Kanji. The changes happen on almost all pages.

Perhaps they expect the readers to be adults or at least older teens. lol

They already replaced a lot in previous editions, compared to the original print. They’re probably expecting readers to be mostly adult nostalgia fans

PRAISE SERENITY

Called my bank this morning and got everything sorted out with my credit card and I was able to buy the ebooks off BookWalker

Wasn't expecting the Moon Stick to be all silver. I wonder if the Moon Rod will follow suit...

And they even changed more from Kanzenban to All Color Kanzenban.

I wonder how Naoko will deal with this...

 

[Memento]

Is the only change converting hirgana to kanji? Or are there actual changes to what's being said? I wonder if the dialog has been revised yet again for this release...

I think only change from hiragana to kanji.

Surprised they went with blonde hair for Reika after Crystal went with reddish pink

That's 100% a hamburger monster Sailor V is fighting and now I want a Sailor Moon x Bob's Burgers crossover

 

[Crystal Moon]

In original character design, Reika has blond hair.

^ She had pink hair in the Materials Collection though, as in Crystal, which is why I found the blonde a little surprising.

 

[Seira Hazuki]

Love, love, LOVE that while they kept Princess Serenity's hair white in the past, Usagi's hair actually remains blonde when she's transformed as Princess Serenity. It's a nice way to distinguish between the two and this really should have been what Crystal went with.

I think this is the case: The page I posted before was used as the cover of Act.12. If they want to use pink for Reika's hair, they have to correct the color on that page.
The same thing happened with Moon Stick. On the color page, it is white, there is no reason it appears to be pink on the next page. They have to remain the consistency as much as possible.

 

[Memento]

Ikuko's hair is blue in that illustration though, so there are inconsistencies anyway.

 

[Seira Hazuki]

Naoko is nothing but inconsistent with hair color so it’s probably blonde now because she felt like it.

 

[Memento]

Finished going through volume 2. WHERE IS THE PRINT VERSION PLEASE?

Really curious how they're gonna handle Pluto. Her skintone comes off as very dark in the B&W art, but she's obviously not as dark in the color art work. Still, her complexion is a bit inconsistent, so I wonder how dark they'll make her. I'm already steeling myself for the inevitable "they whitewashed Pluto!" comments.

Normally I don't like Ami. I think she's one of my least favourite senshi but omg, she looks so gorgeous in colour. The hair is absolutely amazing, with that metallic shiny blue. Love it
