Moonkitty.net reported that "Kodansha will begin publishing manga in the US in September by themselves. This could well explain why they've been holding onto the Sailor Moon manga rights and could very well mean that we may finally be getting English translations of the new reprinted Sailor Moon manga!"
I dunno if they'll get the rights to the manga, but I will snatch them up if so!
Rejoice! Sailor Moon may be coming back to the U.S.

I'm not holding my breath, but I will be so happy if they actually retranslate and reprint the manga! Once they open their US website -- if they even do that -- I say we constantly send them emails in support of Sailor Moon.
And if they do, then that would be a good sign that the anime could return to the US as well. Maybe even with a new dub... ? Ah, but I'm getting a little too hopeful there.

I know! I would buy out the entire innovatory! But, I also am not holding my breath.

Hey, hate to burst the bubble, but the Anime News Network article MoonKitty.net references does not mention Sailor Moon. However, it has been confirmed that Kodansha is starting Kodansha USA to directly publish manga, so it's still possible.

If they reprint the manga, I'll consider buying it. I LOVE the anime. Why not read the thing that atarted it all? I'll buy them and actually see the difference between the anime and manga. I think I would still prefer the anime over the manga, because I hate to read. If this all happens, then the thought of another dub of Sailor Moon is great. Maybe there actually will be an English dub of Season 5.

Ah, if they reprint it, I'd definitely buy all those volumes. I regret not buying them when I was yonger. I only have two volumes, 4 & 5 and they're just completely destroyed and half the pages have fallen out. I tried a repair job on them and only made it a whole lot worse. ><
So I'd love to have the nice volumes, and all of them this time.

I think it's a common problem for pages to fall out--a hunge chunk of pages in my SuperS volume 1 are falling out, and the pages in Stars volume 1 are getting looser.

That's cool that SM manga might be coming back. I'm not expecting it to come back anytime soon though.
I probably wouldn't buy any of the new US versions because I spent too much money on the reprint Japanese versions ><

Do you have all them? I got the Venus, Chibi-Moon and Pluto ones in a trade. Your post reminded me I have them, they have been sitting on the shelf for the longest damn time. XD

XD I only have the first five (moon, mercury, mars, jupiter, venus). I'm not really motivated enough to buy the rest of them.

Will it be the same story as in the manga original?
