This download is of the Nakayoshi October 1984 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.

Speaking of Ms. Takeuchi, this issue contains her earliest known work, “My Boyfriend is No Sugar”, when she was 17.
