Original Scans
Scanlation Project

Notes: At 137 pages, the Materials Collection artbook is twice the size of any of the previous artbooks. Although the cover price seems reasonable (¥2300), prices have skyrocketed as this has become one of the rarer artbooks (second only to Volume Infinity). This book contains sketches of all of the most well-known characters in Sailor Moon (and some little known characters, as well), including tidbits of information on each one. It also contains a short 19-page black and white manga called "Parallel Sailor Moon," a story about Usagi's daughter Kousagi, which takes place in an alternate universe.

Notes: Voume Infinity is a doujinishi artbook published by Naoko Takeuchi herself. It was distributed by Naoko at Japan's Comiket 1997. Very few of these artbooks exist, so it is extraordinarily rare, often selling for hundreds of dollars. The book contains artwork drawn by Naoko Takeuchi, as well as artwork by animators, seiyuu, and staff members who worked on Sailor Moon. It also contains a short 20-page parody manga.
