πŸ“œ History of International Sailor Moon Day

As popular as anime programs are right now, manga and anime series such as Sailor Moon paved the way. Sailor Moon has millions of fans from all around the world and is still growing. It is without a doubt one of the finest manga and anime series ever created. Sailor Moon debuted in Japan in 1991 and swiftly gained an international following by 1995. It sold over a million copies, and the figures continued rising. It has already sold over 35 million copies in over 50 countries in both manga and anime formats.

Because of its normalization of lesbianism, Sailor Moon has been a powerful icon for L.G.B.T.Q. groups throughout the years. This was made feasible by the future scenario and the authors’ purpose of demonstrating equality. The series promotes a specific feminist paradigm by blending typical masculine action with traditional female devotion and sexualityβ€”a rather daring move by the series’ creators and viewers given the year it was created.
