magical schoolgirls

Today’s post is slightly off-topic since it's about a famous cartoon show from the 90’s. Here’s a hint: “In the name of the moon, I will punish you!”

It's none other than Sailor Moon!

"Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight,
never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Moon!"

The iconic magical girl Sailor Moon has graced all sorts of merchandise, from children’s lunch boxes to high-tech gadgets. However, this is the first time that Sailor Moon has appeared on the front cover of Japanese fashion magazine TOKYOViVi:

Thanks to art director Chinatsu Wakatsuki, who happens to be a fan of the series, the magazine features exclusive Sailor Moon artwork. The issue was released on Friday, March 15th, in honor of creator Naoko Takeuchi’s 46th birthday. The release also coincided with news of the new Sailor Moon anime, which is scheduled for a simultaneous worldwide release later this year! You can pick up your own copy of TOKYOViVi at Amazon Japan for ¥680 ($7): link
