Though as it only ran sporadically (in ''[[Nakayoshi]]'s'' sister magazine, ''RunRun''), it is much shorter, filling 3 collected volumes (2 in the revised editions), whereas ''Sailor Moon'' filled 18 (14 in the revised editions). Despite the popularity of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' worldwide, ''Sailor V'' was rarely licensed and it wasn't until late 2011 that the series finally received an official translation into English.
