Development

*This section is only to highlight the sections of the Infinity Collection where it shows the early development stages of Sailor Moon. The complete volume and all translations here are all derived from Volume Infinity*

I suppose the only reason I'm posting these up is because it somehow inspired me to continue to TRY drawing manga. Not to mention, it's a lil bit of information that I found to be very rare on the 'net, and who isn't hungry for Sailor Moon Info?

The very first colored picture of Sailor Moon and Luna. For the people who've looked around the 'net, you've most probably seen this one's final version. Very very different from this one, ne?
A preview ad that would later be changed to the previous picture, this one has Usagi in Sailor V's uniform with Artemis by her side.
Character drawings of the inner senshi. Here, Rei's name is "Yoruno Miyabi" and Mako-chan's name is "Chino Mamoru" (Hey...isn't that...) and the last girl, now Ami-chan, is called Artemis.
A rough copy of the last page of the eighteenth and last volume of the entire manga. The text in the center says: "You are the star that shines most beautifully forever." (This last line of the manga is a dedication to aaaall of Naoko Takeuchi's fan's, everybody who's helped her and to herself).

Bottom:This is the final, infinite, original art collection of Sailor Moon that I, Naoko, most wanted to make. To all the people who cooperated on this book, and you, with my love, I really thank you, and I appreciate it. 1997.6.30 Naoko Takeuchi

Another picture from the development of the eighteenth volume.
