Usagi:This is my best friend, Naru-chan.
[007-4]Umino:I didn’t try very hard this time,
but this test was just a game!
Naru:A game?
God, you’re irritating.
[008-1]Naru:Umino’s the one person I didn’t want to do worse than.
Usagi:Naru-chan is pretty and smart.
And she’s also from a rich family.
[Whoa, she got an 85!]
[008-2]SOUNDDING DONG
[Kyaa! Ahaha!]
[008-3]Girl:Another jewelry store got hit in the city. There’ve been a lot of attacks on them
lately, haven’t there?
Naru:Scary.
[008-4]Umino:But “Sailor V” caught the criminals.
Usagi:What’s that?
[008-5]Umino:She’s famous! The sailor-suited ally of justice who livens up the place!
There’s a rumor that she’s a special agent for the police.
Usagi:Hmm, there’s something like that now?
It really is the end of the century.
[009-1]Umino:That’s right!
There have been a lot of robberies and strange incidents lately happening one
after the other. Even the news has taken note!
[009-2]Girl:But I understand why they’d want to steal jewels.
Girl2:They’re so pretty and sparkly.
[I want a diamond ring. . .]
[009-3]Usagi:Your family owns a big jewelry store, right, Naru-chan?
[I like rubies. Oh, and pearls, too!]

we’ve been having a huge sale since yesterday.
There are even things we could buy.

Naru:Mama!
[010-6]Naru’s Mama:Come in, come in. I know it’s crowded, but come on in and look. There are
some inexpensive things, too.
I’ll lower the price even more for your friends, Naru-chan.
[011-1]Naru:We’ve never had a sale or anything before.
It’s like Mama’s been brought to life by hawking.
Usagi:What a pretty mom. But she’s kind of intense.
Naru’s Mama:[Come on in, come on in! It’s all cheap!]
[011-2]SOUNDWAA WAA

Hello, everybody! How are you all doing? This is the first volume of Sailor Moon! Ufufu. I’m really, really happy. I live each day with my heart racing. Because, because Sailor Moon is going to be an anime on television! You’ll all watch it, won’t you? The Usagi that I created has the cuuuutest voice. I can’t believe it! It’s like a dream. The anime Usagi-chan is. . .hee hee hee, so cute. They show their bellybuttons way more than how I draw them. And the miniskirts! and the transformation scenes are super sexy!!
[Gufufu, watch it, okay?]
I was so happy that I bought a “Pretty Soldiers” Sailor Moon pen set at the toy store. I am unbelievably happy. It’s all thanks to you who read (and bought!) this book.
