I got the anime version before the book and the anime brought tears to my eye's. I am a HUGE fan of sailor Moon had have collected much merchandise over the years. For me the anime was better. Naoko was the first artist I ever encountered that I wanted to draw from. Since then my style has evolved, i LOVE HER, though it is very very hard to find her books here in Canada. So i say collect the book when ever you can no matter if you think some sucked!For all Sailor Moon fans that may read this i encourage you to check out [...] to watch the full series for free!!!
