Things to Watch For

カタカナ

Author/artist Takeuchi Naoko likes to カタカナ all the things. Here are a few you’ll encounter in Act.1:

  • ウチのムスメ
  • ママのバカ
  • ガッコ (がっこう)
  • 泣きムシ
  • 女のコ
  • 朝食ヌキ
  • センセ (せんせい)
  • エーゴ (えいご)
  • 女のコのクセに
  • イヤミなヤツ

Version Differences

There will be slight differences based on the version you’re reading.

Act.1 Page T.2/S.5/K.3

The newspaper originally included a line reading 全員たいほ. This was removed from the tankoubon and shinsouban releases, likely due to their smaller formats. It’s restored in the kanzenban release.

Act.1 Page T.15/S.21/K.19

In the tankoubon release, Usagi refers to the gamecenter employee as 「やさしいの」. In the latter releases, she refers to him as 「カッコよくてやさしいの」. Congrats on the upgrade, Motoki.

Act.1 Page T.16/S.22/K.20

In the tankoubon release, Usagi’s mother says 「テスト ９５点だったって」. The latter releases make it more clear whose test she’s talking about, as she instead says 「海野くん テストで ９５点だったって」.

Act.1 Page T.17/S.23/K.21

Insignificant to mention, but in the middle panel along the bottom, in the tankoubon release Usagi says おとうと. This became おとーと for the latter releases.

Act.1 Page T.19/S.25/K.23

The word エネルギー appears in the top-right and top-left panels. However, the kanzenban release changed the second instance to エナジー.

The dialogue in the fifth panel (middle row, left-hand side) was handwritten in the tankoubon release, but it’s typed in the shinsouban and kanzenban releases. This also included the change from イタダク (handwritten) to いただく (typed).

Act.1 Page T.20/S.26/K.24

Another insignificant mention, Usagi’s book originally says 「えーご」 on the front in the tankoubon, but this is 「English」 in the shinsouban and kanzenban releases.

Act.1 Page T.26/S.32/K.3030

Not dialogue, but this page was redrawn for the shinsouban and kanzenban releases. For anyone reading the tankoubon, here’s the redrawn page which adds the brooch to the first panel, and adds a third panel showing Usagi.

Act.1 Page T.30/S.36/K.34

In the tankoubon release, Usagi’s first dialogue balloon ends with 「はなれなさいよっ」. The shinsouban and kanzenban releases changed this to 「はなれなさいッ！」

Another change from the first panel is Sailormoon refering to the enemy as 「ごうつく」 in the tankoubon release, and 怪物 in the shinsouban and kanzenban releases.

Act.1 Page T.35/S.41/K.39

Sailormoon’s attack in the tankoubon release is called 「ムーン フリスビー」. This is updated in the shinsouban and kanzenban versions to 「ムーン・ティアラ・ブーメラン」.
