In this first
of two collections of short stories, we find our favorite Sailor
Guardians and their friends encountering new mysteries, enemies, allies,
and once more saving the day. After the daughter of a foreign diplomat
transfers to her school, Chibi-Usa's male classmates suspiciously stop
attending classes. Upon investigation, Chibi-Usa discovers the new
transfer student is a vampire! Mamoru’s birthday gift to Chibi-Usa turns
out to be the brainwashing device of a depressed folk tale heroine
come-to-life, seeking sympathy from fellow women and girls! Chibi-Usa’s
Pink Sugar Heart Attack becomes literal when defeating a local sprite
that has possessed the dentist she and Usagi visit to get their cavities
treated. Then, other local sprites wreak havoc in the lives of Mako,
Ami, and Rei as they and Mina and Usagi study for high school entrance
exams. Finally, Chibi-Usa and her newfound BFF’s help out the quirky
proprietor of a mysterious pawnshop that is under attack by both human
and otherworldly entities!

The second collection of short stories actually consists of one long, and two short tales. The first and longest story pays homage to one of the oldest folk tales of Japan, “the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.” Usagi’s faithful sidekick Luna is saved by and ends up developing a crush on an astrophysicist whose dream of becoming an astronaut has been dashed by heart disease. His life is further complicated when he happens upon a mysterious crystal shard the same night he discovers a new comet. It turns out to be the vehicle of a malevolent power from the far outskirts of the galaxy that hopes to take over Earth. In another story, Rei’s background, and her unrequited feelings for her father’s executive secretary are revealed. The final tale is a total comedy that follows the children of Usagi and her fellow Sailor Guardians, proving that apples do not fall far from their trees!
