#35 How Pluto took Hotaru Back
And the Return of Sailor Saturn follows 8D
Hi! I'm Chibi Jen and I've been making cute and fun Sailor Moon comic strips since 2009. If you enjoy my comics, please consider tipping to show your appreciation. Thanks for the support ❤
Setsuna: *mutters under her breath* I am here to take you with me, Hotaru.
[[Souichi Tomoe is carrying baby Hotaru]]
Souichi Tomoe: What..what are you talking about, woman?
Baby Hotaru: ?
{{POW}}
[[Setsuna punches Souichi's face and dashes off in full speed with baby Hotaru]]
Setsuna: I’ll give her back one day!
Souichi Tomoe: NOOOOO!!! HOTARUUU!!
Setsuna: *devious look* Gimme your powers, Hotaru!
Sailor Neptune: So you asked to borrow her and he said yes?
Sailor Uranus: Something sounds fishy…
Sailor Pluto: Now why would you think that?
Narrator: Setsuna is a terrible liar :D

I figure he’s just not all there since his possession. It’s lucky that nobody else asked to borrow his baby first.
Lol “gimme your powers Hotaru!”
well… obviously hotaru is all like ? =D so she is really happy AND CUTE
Pluto is now in one of my favorites because of your comics!
She is so funny!! I would do the same thing sorry Professor!
Gimme your powers, Hotaru! So funny. Even knocks out Mr.Tomoe.
lol!!!! :D setsuna is one of my fav. female character in moonsticks! wow you really make me laugh! and thanks for adding the newest comic!!! I really appreciate you work! oh this is my very first comment I ever posted on any website! ps. hope you keep posting!
Thanks sailor mew mew :D Really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive comment :D Pluto is also my fav character in MoonSticks ^^
Hotaru looks pretty happy in the 3rd panel!
Тоже верно
Setsuna! How could you? I thought you were someone to look up to!
Although, Hotaru looks like she’s having the time of her life in Panel 3.
Very funny! This is what happens when the anime randomly decides to redeem villains instead of killing them off. You get lots of funky potholes. Not that I don’t like Professor Tomoe (infact, he’s one of my favorite villains) but how the Outer Senshi ended up raising Hotaru made much more sense in the manga.
Haha, yeah. It’s funny how if the anime was always faithful to the manga, if you told me there was another version of the anime that rewrites things and has its own storylines I would think “that’s TERRIBLE, it must really suck, it’s all completely made up garbage if Takeuchi-sensei didn’t create it!”
But instead I’m very happy the anime got to tell the story in a very unique different way, and now it’s almost like there’s twice as much storyline to enjoy. There were so many cute little moments in the anime, and some incredible storylines (like season 1’s ending) that I can’t imagine not existing, that weren’t in the manga.
But yeah… they had the occasional “what were they thinking?” mistake. The Professor shouldn’t have lived, and the Starlights never should have been physically male.
YOINK!
¡MATANGA!
Poor Pluto…..
She was never a motherly figure like michiru was…
More like a grandma…
Poor sets-chan
hahaha..awww..a granny?
Pluto’s robbing the cradle!
Get it? =D
xDDD
i love this one a lot!! xDD
in the manga it was easy for them to get hotaru back, she was an orphan!
how did setsuna convince her dad to give hotaru to her? lol
Ok ………….. poor Hotaru!!!!! Oh.. hey chibi jen do you have a gmail, oh and where do you live?!
Uh stalker?
ohhhhhhhhhhhh…………. poor hotaru.
Looking at the series, I personally think Uranus might b the senshi of death. I mean, her fave battle plan (& mine 2) is “Kill now, Question later”.
Poor Tomoe just can’t live a normal life 4 long, can he? U’d think Setsuna would let him keep the damn girl, even if she is the senshi of death. Besides, Haruka might try 2 kill her again.
GIMME YOUR POWERS!
heheh ^___^
Setsuna was really desparate for a new attack…too bad she never got it lol
ahaha yeha, the poor little senshixD
GIMME YOUR POWERS HOTARU!!! damn i love pluto!
lol….the third box is funny….just look at professor tomeo’s body :)
if setsuna took hotaru,hotaru mother become 3!!amazing!!
setsuna is quiet & calm. but,somtimes she is getting liar
xDDDD
why is it when i read these i think azumanga daioh?
You’re not the first to say that, though I can confidently say these drawings were not inspired by Azumanga Daioh at all- I haven’t read the manga or watched the anime.
if u have not watch or read sailor moon how do u make these comics?????
I’m referring to azumanga daioh.
Awesome! Epic! I always knew something was off about Setsuna getting Hotaru back! I mean, no normal and ok-in-the-head parent would give his child to some stranger… but yes, I might as well agree he could be really shocked and scared about a woman that appeared out of the blue… hmmm… Or could it be the punch Setsuna gave him killed him? o_O? Could that be Pluto’s new and kind of secret attack??
Amazing comic like the rest Chibi :)
Thanks very much Haruchiru ^_^ This scene was always boggling my mind XDD
I love Hotaru’s happy face even though her daddy just got punched XDDDDD
=DDDD
how would a father react if his daughter was taken away by a strange woman lol he would take out his phone and call the cops well actually he might be afraid of setsuna attaking him so nevermind
btw love this comic showed it to all my friends
Thanks for sharing it :D :D Glad you enjoyed it!
3rd panel is classic!
Thanks! ^__^
PLUTO IS A LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIAR
and me and my freinds thought she was the serious one
HOTARU THEIF
do U think this is how she really got hotaru back??
I DO
cute photo!!!!
I should totally post a link to this on my ficlet about the whole “Hotaru theft” thing.
Except mine’s depressing.
Yours is much funnier.
urans has good sence thats what i think and mars i got some too kinda i can sence people coming in the house but not wats gonna happen in the future
“We’re bringing Hotaru back now, there’s just a tiny problem… She grew, a lot. Hope that isn’t a problem. On the plus side, she’s a great junior high student now with good grades and everything!”
I mean how can you explain that a girl goes from age two to age 12 in a few months?
lol, you can’t! ahahahaha XD XD
It’s more like “Hm? A few months? Hotaru has been away for years…..
April fools.”
XD
Yoink!
ahaha! 8D
O_O
Oh my so that’s how she did it? Dang I thought she would…I don’t know kind of negotiate with him or use some kind of diplomacy thing…seeing that she’s wise and older then the Outer Scouts.
Darn you Pluto you lied to us!
LOL!!
So….not only is Pluto a bit ditzy, weird, and afraid of bugs…SHE’S A BABY THEIF!
haha yes. Don’t we just love her for so many reasons?
Just saw this comic strip! That’s funny! She stole her! Everyone always asks this question. How did pluto get saturn back? It’s funny she always makes funny of questions we have about the series!
:D Thanks!
lol wow! she looks extremely evil in panel 3 haha.
oh..ehhe yes. XD
Normally I throw hissy fits when people make fun of Setsuna since she is my #1 Senshi but your comics with her make me lol *hugs Setsuna*
heheh that’s great to hear ^_^
In no way do I try make fun of characters in a bad way ^.^; I love Setsuna XD
Hahaha. Didn’t Prof. Tomoe lose all his memories in the anime? I don’t understand why they didn’t just let him keep them and be a support for the Sailor Senshi instead. It’s better than him inexplicably giving up his child. Goodness knows they could use a better base-of-operations than an arcade center. XD
hmm.. but he lost his memory, so… I mean.. if he stuck around wouldn’t he see Hotaru as a grown up- and totally freak him out? XD
LOL. Professor Tomoe is hilarious! I especially love frame 3. These comics are awesome and so funny!
hehehe everyone seems to love some Professor Pwnage! XD (Or maybe just Plu just stole the spotlight ..xD)
Thanks for your comment! Glad you’re enjoying them ^_^
LOL! I always found it hard to believe that he would just give his daughter to so lady who he didn’t even know.
Panel #3 FTW!!! XD
haha thank you! ^___^
I like this one! Especially the 3rd panel where you see Setsuna taking off with baby Hotaru! XD
(I’m on vacation! WOOOOO!!!!)
hehe that’s great to to know ^_^ Thanks!~
(yay! Enjoy!)
oh, so THAT’S how Setsuna got Hotaru from Prof. Tomoe! :D
heeeehe, glad there’s a reason :D
I’ve just checked this out. I guess they (Haruka, Michiru & Setsuna) come to live with Hotaru. I guess they were in Tomoe’s house. Do you think they just kich Tomoe-sensei out or something?
That’s awesome, really..
OMG What a violence!!
In the third panel, Hutaru is just happy with a very big smile! She doesn’t know what is going on LOL 8D
I like the comic. One of the favorites ^^
BTW I really love the cherry blossoms in the first panel. It doesn’t tell what will happen after that. Setsuna looks very peaceful LOL
Love it love it love it..
hmmm…I don’t think they live in Professor Tomoe’s house (unless that’s in the manga?)
Thanks for the comment! 8D
This is the best one ever. Nothing will ever top this! BECAUSE OMG!!!!!!
Thanks Digilee!
Funny. lol Though, there’s a typo in the second panel.
xD Yeah..it’s been fixed now :)
This is pretty much how I always figured that scene played out.
On the 3rd panel Hotaru seems to really enjoy being kidnapped.
yes yes, Hotaru enjoys the runaway :D
Great comic as always!
“Gimme your powers, Hotaru” in the 3rd pic reminds me of your comic #19 Pluto missing in action!
Ah, Pluto is always the funny one xD
Loved it!!
Awesome ^_^!
I’ve always wondered about that. Poor Professor. ;~;
haha! ^_^
:3 Outer Senshi love, indeed. Though I must focus all my attention on Setsuna-sama….and her vicious K.O. blow to Tomoe. Bet it felt good, though it would of felt better when he was under Daimon control. Setsuna-sama had to obtain Hotaru by any means necessary. XD
Thanks for sharing Chibi Jenn!
ehheee yes, well Pluto is very serious about her mission ;)
I can think of quite a few alternate endings for this one…they all quite amuse me XD
I’m ASSUMING as he regained his memory of what happened to his daughter he realized something was telling him it was the right thing to do. I mean.. he kinda knows his daughter is more or less Sailor Saturn. I’m sure some of his memory returned somewhat. I mean… if you’re posessed daughter shreds into pieces and a ball with the Saturn symbol appears and floats away I’m sure you’d have to be an idiot to not know whats up. >< But thats just me assuming.
yeh, that’s all we can really assume.. (or the above XD) Even though I still kinda doubt he regained his memory..it would be pretty difficult for him to handle it. He seems rather peaceful..
OMG O.o I never knew Setsuna had another side… XD
I always wondered what made Professor Tomoe give his only daughter to a complete stranger… It totally bugged me…
Yoku dekimashita, Chibi Jen! I think that’s ‘good job’… Not sure ^.^’
One thing though: in panel two, why does Professor Tomoe say ‘women’? Shouldn’t it be ‘woman’ as ‘women’ is plural? I’m sorry if I annoy with my corrections ^.^’ Gomenasai.
Thanks! Glad you like it! ^-^!
haha yes, it was an error on my end (as Brad pointed out above)- I will change it when I get the chance :D
Lol, that’s just awesome.
THANKS!
lol
=)!
3rd pannel is funny
My favourite too ^.^;
Perfect! I was just wondering how it worked out in the anime, just a little while ago. Always confused me on how Tomoe agreed to let Setsuna take Hotaru. It made more sense in the manga when he died, sad- but he wasn’t as awesome in the manga, a little freaky actually. So all three of them decided to just raise Hotaru, right after the battle (not like a few months later at the beginning of Stars) They softened up and uncorrupted the villians a lot more in the anime. This is one time where it probably confused people on how stuff like this actually turned out. Great funny way of interpreting it.
I knew this will be a great way to start my Winter Break.
That’s great to hear ^_^
That’s what I love about the anime though- the villains aren’t as corrupted and are usually given a second chance at life :)
Yeah, that’s why I enjoy the anime as well. I love villains that see the light, so to speak. Though sometimes it does leave loose ends, like this situation here. But that’s another good thing about the anime, you could find the loose ends and make a humorous doujinshi on it. ^.^
haha I guess so! XD
Love it! (though shouldn’t panel 2 read “What… what are you talking about, woman?”)
ahaha..damn you’re right ;) Will fix it when I get the chance.
XD XD XD
…okay then, if Setsuna behaves like that, then I guess it can’t be too hard to see Hime-chan as Pluto…
(This is what happens when you read nothing but fanfics for a week. I’ve forgotten what is and isn’t canon…)
(Who’s Hime-chan?)
Different series. The one successful crossover she’s had with Sailor Moon, she became apprentice under Setsuna.
Oh ahaha, cool. I thought I was supposed to know about it XD
Lol! :D It kinda feels terrible that Hotaru and her father are separated because of her sailor senshi job. D:
(C’mon gravatar be faster at uploading my icon D:)
yeah, I always enjoyed watching the relationship between the two. So sad that she never returns to him o__o
(Love your gravatar, so pretty!!)
Yup. :( I wonder what happens to Hotaru’s father anyways. O_o
(Thank you! x3)
At least he didn’t die like in the manga >.<
OMG HE DIED IN THE MANGA?! Omg I don’t like reading the manga where they use their Japanese names. Plus it’s also mixed up a bit. >_>
In The 1ST Panel does Pluto has differnt earrings from the last panel?
Yup :) That’s because Setsuna in the first 3 frames happens in a different time frame to the last one (she was in her human form when speaking to Professor Tomoe)
The last shot happens sometime afterwards when she is Sailor Pluto. Hope this explains it :)
Omg Pluto u Liar!!
Love The Comic ChibiJen great work!
Thanks Chibichibi-hime =D
gahhaha
pluto always so funny to play with :D
YES! Love Pluto.
XDDD
I love sseing Pluto like this XD
woot. XD
The expression on Tomoe’s face is priceless.
Professor Tomoe or Hotaru? XD
Awwww..this comic is so cute!!
I love all the expressions on Plu and baby Hotaru hahah
I really enjoy seeing Setsuna comics because you always seem to make fun of her (not in a bad way though!) Either out-of-character, or we’re seeing a different side of her.
Yay for more Hotaru and outer senshi ^^
Arigatou! ^__^
I really enjoy making fun of Pluto too :3 Although I keep most characters somewhat in-character, Pluto seems to be an exception XD
WOuld love to give Hotaru more love too, since she doesn’t get as much screentime in the anime :x
You should! Hotaru is adorable. (I think that my view on that is obvious, considering my name.. and Gravatar) Anyway, one idea for Hotaru-chan is doing one on how her transformation is never shown in the anime. I don’t know how.. but yeah. :D Anyway, it doesn’t have to be super soon, since this one is on the outer senshi, though just dropping a little idea. hehe…
heheh, yeah, I try to space them out a bit so the character appears once in a while instead of all of them right after each other :)
Wow! The truth after all these years! :)
Setsuna still amazes me! (“Gimme your powers!”) ^^
Good job Jen!
Thank you Lucky! Love Pluto :D
I always wondered what force on Earth would posess Tomoe to give his daughter to some stranger.
Then again, if he saw Hotaru spourt like a little plant like she did to become Saturn again… He’d probabley have a heart attack. X3
I really..don’t ..know.. XD This question bugged me so much, but I loved that scene nevertheless 8D
Pluto was so cool, and baby Hotaru was just like ^_____^
omg hilarious!
yay :D
