The Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection (called the Sailor Moon Bunko Collection in Japan) is a secondary third generation release of the Sailor Moon manga that came out soon after the completion of the Sailor Moon Eternal Edition.
Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection
The Eternal Edition and Naoko Takeuchi Collection releases have the exact same English translation and are essentially just variations on the same version of the Sailor Moon manga which is why I've classed both as being within the third gen. In short, the Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection volumes are smaller, cheaper versions of the much larger premium Eternal Edition manga volumes and are ideal for Sailor Moon fans on a budget or with limited space at home. This shopping guide contains links for where to buy the Sailor Moon Naoko Takeuchi Collection manga, my written reviews, plus some photos and videos that I've taken to help make comparissons between the different Sailor Moon manga releases easier. You'll also find answers to several common questions that are often asked about the Naoko Takeuchi Collection manga. Happy shopping, Sailor Moon fan!
