Box Sets
2 sets
In 2012-2013, Kodansha released two box sets for volumes 1-12 only.
These are the same volumes as above that are slightly different thickness than their individual releases. That means the individual ones above will not fit inside these box sets.
Each box set came with a set of stickers.
They were limited edition and have been out of print for many years.

This is the prequel to Sailor Moon that follows Sailor V’s adventures before joining Sailor Moon as Sailor Venus.
