...I don't remember the first manga I bought (I think it was ranma 1/2) but sailor moon and sailor V were a part of the first I read. I've always been a big Sailor V fan. Lately, one of my friends got for x-mas the full Sailor Moon Tv series. I personnally think the manga are a zillion times better then the tv series, but people like my friend Fauve love both mediums. Although, Fauve who was also a huge Sailor V fan though the tv series sucked for one reason: Sailor Venus is a background character. In the manga, she's second-in-command. In the anime, Mars and Mercury become Sailor Moon's second-in-command (mainly because Amy is smart and Rei is a bitch to Usagi)

After talking to Fauve about that, I decided it would be cool to have sailor V aboard! Give her a bit of the lost spotlight...Also, gives me a chance to play with that whole Sailor v/human artemis coupling which so many fans (including myself) love XD
