Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Vol 1, by Naoko Takeuchi, 236 pages
Usagi Tsukino is an average 14-year old girl who can't make it to school on time, does poorly on tests, and really likes rice balls. Until she meets a black cat named Luna- then the adventures begin. Luna convinces Usagi that she can transform into Sailor Moon, and it is her job to find allies to protect the Moon Princess and defeat the princess's enemies. This is shojo, schoolgirl manga at its finest. There's a mysterious boy named Tuxedo Mask whom she might be falling for, and a cute brainy girl and a cute tough girl who are her new best friends. The whole thing is worth reading, even if for no other reason than to hear her battle cries of "Prism Power!" and my personal favorite, "Makeuuuuuuuup!" It's silly, but delightfully so. Recommend for young and older teens.
