Sailor Fun Comics 🍉さんのイラストまとめ

And sometimes the parallels are in the narrative itself. This can be done in the service of the series' theme of "history repeating," as with Usagi's suicide mirroring Serenity's, or with Venus slaying Beryl in both lifetimes:

It's well-established that the manga drew extensively from Greco-Roman mythology, so perhaps we can find some answers there.

If we were to take every instance of hand-holding or locked arms as evidence that Rei and Minako are lovers, we'd also have to accept that they've been canoodling with Mako and Usagi on the side. (Which, hey, why not!)

Such cheeky, fan service-y poses are merely a trope in Naoko Takeuchi's work. (I mean, have you read PQ Angels?)
