Template:Outdated infoCodename: Sailor V (コードネームはセーラーＶ Kōdonēmu wa Sērā V) was a manga (serialized from 1991-1997) that followed the adventures of Minako Aino as Sailor V before she met up with the other Sailor Senshi.

Minako, at thirteen years old, is the first of the soldiers to be awakened. She is given the Moon Princess' powers, in order to act as a decoy. She earns the respect of the police department and falls in love with Ace Kaitou.

Story

Codename: Sailor V tells the story of Minako Aino, a 13 year old middle school student, who is slightly distracted, out-spoken and dreams about finding true love some day. Her calm and normal life changes when she encounters a talking white cat with a crescent moon on its forehead. This cat introduces himself as Artemis and claims that Minako is a girl with the power to transform into a woman stronger and more beautiful than anyone.

He calls her "Venus" and tells her she has a mission to protect Earth in the name of her guardian planet Venus. To help with her new mission, Artemis gives her two items, a crescent moon shaped compact and a magical pen. The magical pen allows her to transform into her alter-ego, the sailor-suited beautiful soldier of justice, Sailor V.

Sailor V begins fighting the evil agents known as the Dark Agency , who fight under Danburite's command. He's in charge of sending his many talented idols to enslave the public.

Sailor V has many adventures as a Soldier of Justice, some leaving her to spark the envy and admiration of the police force. She also later gained the aid of Ace Kaitou, who had for a moment taken her spotlight due to his TV show.

At the end, Minako realizes that her duty is more important than romance and discovers her true mission as Sailor Venus.
