Despite having seemingly logically placed chapters, it surprised me to find out that the order they are in the book isn't the order they first appeared in. Chapter 3 is apparently the first chapter, chronologically.

The Sailor V stories give insight into Sailormoon and provide some background info into the universe. A few scouts also make cameos. The story was a little weak though for something that isn't a collection. It's a lot like a monster a chapter and not an epic. Maybe I'm just too used to it being a drawn out story, especially for this series.

First edition, it says comes with a special cover, although I don't find it any more special than usual. There's also some color pages and a page of sketches.
