Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon Raisonne ART WORKS 1991-2023

The new Sailor Moon Raisonne artbook produced directly by Takeuchi Naoko is well-made and lovely, if a bit small. The paper stock, cover and wraparound are all made of thick, durable material with some sparkly metallic finish. The quality of the art itself is somewhat variable because at least half of the book contains resized, recolored artwork reproduced from seven (7!!!) previous artbooks with much larger dimensions by the creator/mangaka, whose career spans from 1991 to present. That said, the inclusion of never-released material and cover art, dated 2023, more than makes up for it. I know some people want the deluxe version with the holographic wraparound cover that is exclusive to Sailor Moon Fan Club members, but the only new things it has are the holographic cover and a protective case; the basic artbook itself more than holds up. Note that the artbook text is in Japanese, but you don't really need to understand it because the images are so pretty, colorful, and mostly self-explanatory. It came double-wrapped courtesy of CDJapan: the first plastic film wrap was from the publisher, the second bubble wrap from CDJapan itself. I really appreciate the extra protection for an artbook with a limited print run. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive this a week early, along with the Persona 5 artbooks I ordered at the same time. Thank you for sending this and my other artbooks safely, CDJapan!

Long time fan of sailor moon so happy to have this and I think every other fan should to!!!! Gorgeous illustrations and drawings! Perfect for any sailor moon fan and I highly recommend getting this!

An excellent book for people who do not have individually published artbooks. Shipping from Japan to Poland took 3 days, so it's very fast. Thank you CDJapan. Best Regards
