Usagi Tsukino is just a normal 8th grader: a bit lazy, a crybaby, and not the best student; but a great friend with a big heart. Usagi's normal life changes forever when she meets a talking cat named Luna, who gives her a magical broach, which can transform her into the soldier of love and justice, Sailor Moon. Usagi must find the other Sailor Soldiers, Moon Princess, and a powerful stone known as the Silver Millennium Crystal, in order to defeat an evil enemy. This foe is also searching for the Crystal, and if it falls into their hands, the world as they know it could end. And then there's Tuxedo Mask, a masked man with hidden intentions – is he friend or foe? Deep inside, Usagi hopes for him to be an ally.
