July Marmalade Birthday in Nakayoshi July 1989
Special thanks to our anonymous donor, Mr. J, who once again made the Project for this possible.
Many of Naoko Takeuchi’s works, including Sailor Moon, were serialized by chapter in this monthly publication before being published by Kodansha in book format. They also contain color art that is unedited and unfound in most volume issues.

Nakayoshi July 1989 Issue
Many of Naoko Takeuchi’s works, including Sailor Moon, were serialized by chapter in this monthly publication before being published by Kodansha in book format. These back issues of Nakayoshi are extremely difficult to find due to their age, the fact that the publisher does not allow for direct back issue re-ordering, and their rarity – many collectors in Japan prize these issues, especially when they feature famous artists such as Ms. Takeuchi.
This particular issue features the first chapter of “July Marmalade Birthday” by Naoko Takeuchi, featured above.

Sneaky Dan edit: Sailor Moon Petite Etrangere is still being worked on as I type this. As of this typing, there is about 20-30 more minutes of actual show, then the curtain call, and post show tidbits. Everyone please cheer James on as he powers through! Back to the update…

Our garage sale has been updated, where you can own the magazines used to make these scans at cheap prices! As always, we are still available to take on paid projects for any kind of anime/manga/doujinshi translation, so please consider hiring us!

Thanks for offering the July Marmalade Birthday as a separate download! That is so much more convenient and space-saving that having to download entire Nakayoshi issues just for the Sailor Moon/Takeuchi content. I hope you will keep doing this!
We already have been doing this. Check out this page for all of them that we’ve collected so far! =)
