The Sailor Senshi Page Store

Where can I get the manga (comics)?

The manga is the comic book upon which the Sailormoon anime is based. It is created by Takeuchi Naoko, and it started BEFORE the anime. You can get the original Japanese manga from online stores like Sasuga Books and Nikaku. There are translations of the manga printed in Asian languages (Chinese, Korean, etc.) and European languages (Spanish, German, Italian, French) but I don't know where to get these. I've heard there are some places with French SM manga in Canada, but that's about it.

Yes, there is manga in English. It's translated by Tokyo Pop, formerly known as Mixxzine. The translations are, in my opinion, not very good. There are errors and bad editing, it uses the DIC names and "scout" terms, and it suffers from obvious Americanization. If you want to order them anyway, click on the manga title that you wish to buy:

Where can I get the Manga Artbooks?

There are five normal Sailormoon artbooks, collections of colored art for each arc (or "season", ie. one for Sailormoon, one for Black Moon/SMR, one for Infinity/SMS, one for Dream/SuperS, and one for SailorStars). There is also a sixth artbook, the "Materials Collection" which is the newest book that features sketches and drawings of nearly all the characters ever to appear in the manga. The last artbook, the "Infinity" artbook, is extremely rare so you won't be able to find it unless you're extremely lucky and willing to pay over $500 for it. The first five artbooks are hardcovered while the "Materials Collection" is soft-covered.

Currently most of the original Japanese artbooks are out of print (but the "Materials Collection" should be easy to find as it was released in 1999). A lot of stores have thus turned to selling German, Chinese, and French versions of the artbook which feature the exact same art as the original Japanese artbooks only the notes at the end are in different languages, not Japanese. The Chinese artbooks are also all soft-covered (so are a good deal cheaper). The French artbooks feature the notes at the end in both Japanese and in French. You might not be able to find any Japanese artbooks in stores, but you can try Sasuga Books or Otaku.com.
