Seriously, it looks like shes pinching off a purple turd.
And okay, to be honest, its not a terribly interesting bit of backstory for her.
Allan was an adult, and Minako never really had a shot with him.
Even as a naive schoolgirl, she had to know that.
Unfortunate, sure, and all that heartbreak she felt was very real, but girl… really!
Youre waxing poetic about the tragedy of all this like you and Katarina were on a level playing field.

Im sorry, honey, but no.
So, cry all the tears you want.
You were never even a player, and you know it.
There are loads of plot holes in Minakos story, not on her part but on the writers.
How did this affect her schooling?
Was it over summer break or something?
He brought Minako into the fight the way Luna brought Usagi in.
Whats up with that?
This episode boasts some pretty great comedic moments.
But its not just the comedy that gives this episode purchase beyond the backstory on Venus.
It is revealed how the sunspots heralded the destruction of the Silver Millennium.
On the Dark Kingdoms side of things, Metalia confirms this and shows a redoubled effort to corrupt Mamoru.
Seriously, this was a really strong, really plotty episode.
Why in the name of all that is holy did DiC cut it?
Minako, however, sees the big picture and comes to realize what a fool she was.
A good-hearted, innocent fool who just fell in love with the wrong guy, but a fool nonetheless.
But hey…
Cest la vie.
