Sailor Moon’s gorgeous Naoko Takeuchi Collection Manga Box Set is discounted to its lowest price yet. Released last November with a $78 cover price, this huge six-volume collection is up for grabs for only $49 at Amazon. The collectible edition of the beloved manga was produced by Kodansha Comics and is bundled with a bunch of exclusive art cards and a premium display box.
While picking up this deal, you’ll also want to consider preordering the second set that completes the Naoko Takeuchi Collection ahead of its November 11 release. On the anime side, fans can save on all three Sailor Moon Crystal Set Limited Edition releases.
$49 (was $78)
Sailor Moon: Naoko Takeuchi Collection Box Set 1 includes six oversized paperbacks totaling 2,144 pages. The beautiful new editions can be stored and displayed in an eye-catching holographic box. It has a fold-out front cover that attaches to box with a magnetic clasp.
Volumes 1-6 in the Naoko Takeuchi Collection are 300 to 400 pages each. Along with enough reading material to keep Sailor Moon fans busy for a while, this collectible box set comes with 16 art cards.
$72.48 (was $78) | Releases November 11
The Naoko Takeuchi Collection Manga Box Set 2 also comes with six paperback books. It concludes the Naoko Takeuchi Collection edition of Sailor Moon with Volumes 7-10. It also includes the two-volume Codename Sailor V prequel manga.
Like the 2024 box set, this Sailor Moon manga collection will be packaged in a holographic display case with a magnetic enclosure. Inside the case, you’ll find 16 art cards and exclusive stickers. The addition of the stickers might stem from the fact that the back half of the collection has roughly 250 fewer pages. In total, the four mainline volumes and two-part prequel add up to 1,888 pages, so you’re still getting a lot here.
You can preorder Naoko Takeuchi Collection Manga Box Set 2 for $72.48 (was $78) ahead of its November 11 release. With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you’ll automatically get the best price offered between the time you order and release. Plus, you won’t be charged until Amazon actually ships your order.
Note: Kodansha Comics hasn’t released images of the second box set yet, but we’d expect it to match the style of the first. The image shown above is of the first set.
Like the popular anime series it inspired, the Sailor Moon manga follows Usagi, an average teenager who one day meets a talking cat, gains super powers, and begins a journey of self-discovery. Sailor Moon became a sales juggernaut throughout its original run in the 90s. It’s one of the best-selling manga of all time, eclipsed only by the likes of One Piece and Tokyo Ghoul, and it also had several popular anime series based on it. It’s also cited as one of the most influential franchises, helping give rise to the popular “Super Girl” genre of anime and manga.
If you don’t want to wait for the second box set to read the full original series, you can purchase individual volumes from the Naoko Takeuchi Collection for around $13 each. Alternatively, you can check out Sailor Moon’s Eternal Editions.
The Eternal Edition series reprints the original art on larger pages. You can grab 12 volumes of Sailer Moon: Eternal Edition–which includes the original 10 Sailor Moon volumes and the two Codename: Sailor V prequel volumes–in paperback editions at Amazon.
Sailor Moon has received numerous anime adaptations over the years, the most recent being Sailor Moon Crystal. The series ran for three seasons from 2014 to 2016, and you can grab the Limited Edition Crystal Sets for all three seasons at discounted prices.
Each Crystal Set Limited Edition comes with Blu-ray and DVD versions of the show as well as an art booklet, a set of character art cards, and a chipboard collector’s box designed for display.
The show was followed up with two sequel films, Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos, in 2021 and 2023, respectively, both of which are available to stream on Netflix.
Sailor Moon fans can also get the recently released Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Three-Film Collection for $19. The Blu-ray set includes Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S, and Sailor Moon SuperS.
