Code Name wa Sailor V

Code Name wa Sailor V is the story of Aino Minako and her talking cat Artemis. Minako transforms into Sailor V, the soldier of justice, and together they fight to stop the Dark Agency and foil its evil plots.


This is Takeuchi Naoko's second major series, and it is the precursor to Sailor Moon. Soon after the appearance of Sailor V, she started work on the new series featuring a team of sailor soldiers. Most of her efforts focused on Sailor Moon, but she did continue to write Sailor V chapters.


Sailor V ran in Run-Run intermittently from Summer 1991 to November 1997. It is published in three volumes.
