Where can I buy the Sailor Moon manga?

This is a great question. Especially since Moonkitty.net's Sailor Moon Manga Shopping Guide is currently (Oct '09) under construction.

Both the English and Japanese versions (and I'm assuming other versions as well) of the Sailor Moon manga are currently out of print though copies can still be found in several places online. If you find them in a physical, real world store you should grab them as even here in Japan Sailor Moon manga can no longer be found on any shelves.

If you're shopping online I would stay away from eBay as the manga has been known to sell on there for over US$100 just for one volume.

Amazon.com is fantastic as they sell the English manga as well as the English translated Sailor Moon Guides which are still selling for under US$13.

Amazon also stocks the New Japanese Manga Editions as well though you may be buying from a third party through Amazon for those. If buying through a third party, always research the seller before placing your order.

A much better (and cheaper) place to buy the Japanese versions of the manga (which Naoko Takeuchi recently added new artwork to) is Amazon.co.jp which sells them for about US$5 a volume and has very cheap shipping.

Ironically Amazon.co.jp also sells the English Sailor Moon manga and story books and it's well worth comparing prices and stock with Amazon.com. You actually might get a better deal here.

I will disclose that when you purchase something from Amazon through a link on Moonkitty.net I do earn a small percentage of the final price through their associate program. This isn't why I recommend Amazon though. It's honestly a site (both the US and Japan versions) that I use on an almost monthly basis to do my own manga, DVD and book shopping. The prices are fantastic and the shipping super fast. Honestly, they're pretty good.

Hope this helps!
