Materials Collection

The Materials Collection (美少女戦士セーラームーン設定資料集) is a photo-book with all of Takeuchi Naoko’s preliminary and prototype designs of the characters specifically for animation. It includes illustrations of each character, minus monsters-of-the-day and other one-shot appearances for all five seasons of the series.

This collection is especially useful for Sailormoon cosplayers who are looking to create the most accurate representation of a specific character’s outfit possible. Some of the prototype characters never made it into the final cut for the anime (like Diana the Moon Fairy), so this is also an interesting read for serious fans of the show.

Typesetting was done by the lovely Kuroitenshi13. Many thanks to Tsuki_Tsubasa for providing black and white page raws!

  1. Thank you for uploading this! MangaStyle didn’t have all the pages of this book on their site…(From Parallel Moon to the end.) And the site (I forgot the name) that had a translation of Parallel Moon, wasn’t very good quality….XD;;;;
