The tropes found in the manga version of ''[[
----
* [[Babies Ever After]]: It's hinted that Usagi's pregnant with Chibi Usa by the time of her wedding.
Line 16:
* [[Character Development]]: Much more of it than in the anime for the main characters (much less for minor characters and villains, as the result of the manga being much more concise).
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Sailor Tin Nyanko goes undercover as a foreign exchange student... from ''Libya'' of all places. She's pasty white, and doesn't even remotely act or dress like she's from a country with a conservative Muslim majority. Her name is also ''Japanese''. Whether Takeuchi or Tin Nyanko failed to do the research is anyone's guess. She dies in her first appearance anyway, so there's not much time to contemplate it.
* [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The anime Daimons were humanoid female monsters made from mundane objects, the manga Daimons were monsters that fused with humans (They also used some animals like dogs and cats), if the infusion turned out right (which was rare), it would result in a perfect Daimon (Kaolinite and the Witches 5 are examples of perfect Daimons), when it turned out wrong (Everyone aside from Kaolinite, the Witches 5 and {{spoiler|Professor Tomoe and Hotaru}}), the result is a monster that easily fits the [[Nightmare Fuel]] category, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/58.html just] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/59.html look] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sailor_moon/v07/c002/60.html at them]
** Virtually all of the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] could also be considered this.
* [[Expy]]: The series is both a spinoff and reboot of [[Codename: Sailor V]], so several characters (Usagi, Umino, Naru, Luna) are expies of ones from the earlier series (Minako, Amano, Hikaru, Artemis). But then Minako and Artemis make the jump into Sailor Moon proper, marking one of the rare instances of expies encountering each other as something more than a joke.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: (From the Guardian Senshi's point of view, at least.)
** [[The Hero]]: Minako
Line 38:
* [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: The ''sheer scope'' of spaces is repeatedly ignored throughout the manga, mainly because this particular universe runs on [[Rule of Cool]] rather than physics.
* [[We All Live in America|We All Live In Japan]]: In the "Princess Kaguya" manga arc, Himeko mentions being denied a place on the Luna Shuttle's team because the NASA scientists thought a young woman like her "should just get married and settle down." While in Japan such attitudes toward young women are [[Christmas Cake|still fairly prevalent]], in the U.S. getting married at Himeko's age (early '20s) would be considered rather young. It would be especially unlikely that she would hear it working at NASA, because the years of extra training and education required to get there would push the average marriage age even higher.
