Sailor Moon Kanzenban + iPad Mini + Smart Phone Cases

Sailor Moon Kanzenban Manga

This flyer, published in the November 2013 issue of Nakayoshi magazine, gives us more details regarding the Sailor Moon Kanzenban Manga release:

Volumes 1 and 2 of the kanzenban (complete edition) of the Sailor Moon manga will be available for sale beginning in November 2013
All of the covers will feature new art by Naoko Takeuchi
All books will feature foil lame covers, and will have high quality French binding
All color pages that were printed in the original serialization of the story will be included in this edition
These will be printed on A5 size paper, so they are significantly larger than the original tankoubon edition
Features digitally remastered artwork, all reviewed and approved by Naoko Takeuchi!
The short stories will be republished in two volumes, but the order of the stories will be reshuffled
The side-story Codename: Sailor V will also be included in the Kanzenban set
Sets will include entry tickets for a 20th anniversary prize raffle!

No word yet on what they will cost or where we can order, but as soon as I have more information I’ll share it on Miss Dream :)

A little earlier than expected, but I couldn’t resist sharing some information about the latest two pieces of merchandise to be released in celebration of Sailor Moon’s 20th anniversary this year ~

Nakayoshi September 2013 and Three Doujin Online

Site Updates, Translations

Happy Miss Dream Monday everyone! Yes, it’s true, we are finally back to Monday updates again! While yes, we are still doing catch-up on prepping our queue following the relaunch of the galleries a couple days ago, I did take some time to prepare content for an update today, in the form of the Nakayoshi September 2013 issue and three Sailor Moon based doujinshi.

Nakayoshi September 2013

Yes, for the first time in a few months, we have a current Nakayoshi magazine issue on schedule. For those of you who haven’t been here, on the first Monday of each month, we post downloads and galleries of the Nakayoshi issue that has the publication of the month previous. As it is October, this means that Nakayoshi September 2013 is being posted online today. Nakayoshi magazine is a famous publication in Japan which has featured shoujo manga for many decades. Sailor Moon is one of many franchises that was featured in this magazine. News relating to any franchises serialized in Nakayoshi is usually posted within the magazine as well. While there are no Sailor Moon chapters in this issue, or anything by Naoko Takeuchi, it features plenty of other popular series like Doki Doki! Precure!

Normally I would round out an update with even more issues of Nakayoshi Magazine in what I like to call Nakayoshi Rush, however I don’t have the ability to do so this week. So instead, we will start posting up a series of Sailor Moon doujinshi, which has been commissioned by an anonmyous donor who also provided the raws. We thank this person for their donation and support, and I’m sure y’all will do the same. There is a lot of work that we have scheduled with them, so doujinshi fans will have semi-regular posts to look forward to! Today, we post three stories from the Rainbow Over the Moon series.

Rainbow Over the Moon 3
Cyan Fiber

Rainbow Over the Moon 7
Green Crystal

Rainbow Over the Moon 8
Pale Blue Current

And that’s all for this week. Work is continuing on our Sailor Moon: La Reconquista Ultimate Pack, which I’m sure everyone will enjoy! There’s work for a lot of new content to be added to our raws section over time, and other goodies are in the works as well. Until then, please enjoy today’s offerings of the Nakayoshi September 2013 issue and the three doujinshi! See you next time!

Galleries Back Online!

Site Stuff, Site Updates

Happy weekend Miss Dreamers! Today, months of hell comes to an end, with the relaunch of all the galleries! They may have only been down for a month on the site, but we’ve been having issues for much longer. I was able to finally put together a good solution for this site earlier this week, and have spent the last few days importing and coding them into each of the pages. As of this typing, everything that had a gallery prior to the takedown has one back on! I am so happy to finally have this issue put behind us so we can move forward with future postings. It will be some time before I have another schedule set and more pages ready, but I’m hoping to have regular postings return sometime later this month. It sucks that our queue ran out before these issues were solved, but we finally are ready to give me a giant queue again! x_x While there’s no new content today, this is a big enough announcement to merit an update everywhere. Everyone who has been waiting, please enjoy the return of the galleries, and they can be better enjoyed in mobile than previously as well! A big thanks go out to Anna and Dawn for helping me with the importing process to make this possible today! ^_^ I’m going to break from site for for today, but we will have more things to come soon! See you next time!

P.S. – Fun fact, after finishing this, we have 92,989 files in 476 albums! X_X

Sailor Moon 2013 Merchandise: Lip Stick, Eyeliner, Nail Art, and More!

Sailor Moon News, Site Stuff, Site Updates

Hello everyone! It’s time for another Sailor Moon 2013 merchandise round up. My plan is to do one of these once a month. As always, information comes from Sailor Moon Channel and has been translated into English by yours truly. Let’s get started!

Keisuke Kanda Sailor Moon Collection

Last time Sailor Moon Channel had only given us information about the Keisuke Kanda collection show at Iseten Department store, but now we have some pictures of the collection to share:

Retail price is 1,575yen each, roughly $16 USD. What these are intended for, exactly, is anybody’s guess. They’re made of thin paper and would probably shred if you tried to wear them around, so I’m assuming these are just a novelty item…? If you own this item, please feel free to comment with more details!

Retailing for 22,050 yen (roughly $225!), these designer Keisuke Kanda Sailor Moon Pillow Bags are limited edition. They are listed on the Isetan website as being made 100% of polyester, so this is kind of a rip off – even though the bag is cute.

Retailing for 4,700 yen (roughly $50 USD) these limited edition socks are no longer available, as the Keisuke Kanda Isetan event ended on September 24th. This item was only available for purchase in stores, so I hope you bought a pair!

Sailor Moon Character Nail Art

Of all the new Sailor Moon 2013 merchandise coming out, I have to admit I’m really excited about this item.

Retailing for 1,050yen individually (around ~$11 USD), you can buy these in sets of one packs, three packs, or a complete set of all 6 designs. There are six designs available – Love&Justice, Sailor Mode, Pretty Guardian, Midnight Town, Make Up, and Sailor Streamline. These are acryllic fake nails, and adhesives are not included. They are scheduled for delivery in mid December are are available for pre-order via Premium Bandai. They will also be on sale in retail stores such as Loft, Animate, Village Vangard, and others.

Sailor Moon Miracle Romance Eyeliners

Available for pre-order at Premium Bandai are the Sailor Moon Star Power Prism Eyeliner Limited Box Sets. There are 2 box sets available. The blue box includes the black, blue & white eyeliners, while the pink box includes the brown, red & white eyeliners. These sets are limited edition and only 2,000 sets are available for sale. Retail price is 3,465yen (roughly $35 USD) They are scheduled for arrival in December 2013.

Sailor Moon Miracle Romance Moon Stick Lip Stick

Available for pre-order from Premium Bandai, this is the 4th in the line of Creer Beaute’s Miracle Romance cosmetics line in celebration of Sailor Moon’s 20th anniversary. Retail price is 1780 yen (roughly $18 USD) and is a lip balm in a Sailor Moon Moon Stick shaped dispenser. The balm itself is a blended of jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, collagen and vitamin E, and has a peach fragrance. They are scheduled for delivery in February of 2014.

Naoko Takeuchi Interview Pt. 2 in ROLa Magazine

On sale October 1st, the November issue of ROLa magazine will contain the second part of the exclusive interview with the creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi. This issue retails for 680 yen (around $7) You can buy a copy at Amazon.co.jp or through a deputy service like Celga. I’ve already bought my copy and will have the translated interview online as soon as possible :)
