The stunning Naoko Takeuchi Collection Manga Box Set for Sailor Moon is currently available at a deeply discounted price, marking its lowest price point yet during a recent sales event. Originally priced at $78, this six-volume collection is now offered for only $44.73. This special edition, produced by Kodansha Comics, is a collector`s item that includes exclusive art cards and comes packaged in a premium display box.
For fans looking to complete their collection, the second set of the Naoko Takeuchi Collection is available for preorder. Set to be released on November 11, this set completes the series. Additionally, enthusiasts of the anime adaptation can find savings on all three Limited Edition releases of Sailor Moon Crystal.
The Sailor Moon: Naoko Takeuchi Collection Box Set 1 contains six oversized paperback volumes, totaling 2,144 pages. These beautiful new editions are designed to be stored and displayed in an eye-catching holographic box featuring a fold-out magnetic front cover. Volumes 1 through 6 in this collection range from 300 to 400 pages each, providing extensive reading material for fans. The set is enhanced with 16 exclusive art cards.
The Naoko Takeuchi Collection Manga Box Set 2 also includes six paperback volumes. This set concludes the Sailor Moon story with Volumes 7-10 and incorporates the two-volume prequel manga, Codename Sailor V. Similar to the first box set, the 2024 release will be housed in a holographic display case with a magnetic closure. Inside, it features 16 art cards and exclusive stickers, perhaps added to complement the slightly lower total page count (1,888 pages) compared to the first set.
Inspired by the popular anime series, the Sailor Moon manga follows the journey of Usagi, an ordinary teenager whose life changes dramatically when she encounters a talking cat, gains superpowers, and embarks on a path of self-discovery. First serialized in the 90s, Sailor Moon achieved massive sales success, becoming one of the best-selling manga series globally, surpassed by only a few titles like One Piece. Its influence is significant, helping to shape the `Super Girl` subgenre in anime and manga.
Other Manga Editions Available
If you prefer not to wait for the second box set or wish to collect volumes individually, titles from the Naoko Takeuchi Collection are available. Another option is the Sailor Moon Eternal Editions. The Eternal Edition series offers reprints of the original artwork on larger pages. The entire original story, including the main 10 Sailor Moon volumes and the two Codename: Sailor V prequel volumes, is available in 12 paperback volumes under the Eternal Edition.
