Galleries were very popular, especially since the anime wasn't easy to catch. Sailormoon products weren't easily found here either and the manga was just starting to be published in English. It took a lot of time and love to search all over and collect images as well as hunt down Japanese artbooks and manga. What were really hard to find were artbook scans, which were termed genga, in the gallery circles.

It was also all the rage at this time to use your name or screen name when naming your web site. My nick name was given to me by my friend when I had gotten hooked on Sailor Moon in 1996 and just stuck. (When I would collect and print out Sailormoon images to put in a scrapbook.) She also provided me with gorgeous artwork of this persona that I used in the first layouts that are now lost. I haven't had the heart to change the name of the gallery and I think it's kind of cute to remember what it used to be.

Eventually Spree.com shut down and I opened my own domain. The gallery took a lot of work to reorganize and post. Over the years this site has changed a lot, and hopefully for the better.

These people were so nice to encourage me in my wed design by awarding me these.

Only when new images are collected from donations, the Sailormoon Japanese webpage, or re-releases of books. This gallery is pretty complete and rather static. I may scan more manga images if I feel the urge.

2. Do you own the Sailormoon artbooks and manga?

I own the original Japanese manga volumes 10-18, artbooks 1, 2, 4, and the Materials Collection. I also have a couple English translations of the manga lying around.

3. Where did you get your artbooks?

I bought the Materials Collection on ebay and found 1, 2, and 4 at anime convention. The manga volumes I bought on line years ago. If you are looking for where to pick up the artbooks, manga, or dvds youcan find information on MangaStyle.net.

4. Did you scan the images yourself?

For the most part, no. Most of my images I collected years ago, before I had a webpage. I have links to where I found quite a few of them. Some of the pages have been lost over the years or have closed. I did scan a few of the black and white images in the galleries. (I'll note where.) When you use those images I'd prefer you to give credit.

5. Why do you use "Sailormoon" instead of "Sailor Moon"?

When I started in the Sailormoon internet scene the spelling "Sailormoon" was used to refer to the Japanese manga while Sailor Moon was used for the anime. (Especially the English dub.) I've just stuck to the spelling because of personal preference. I think it looks a little more elegant.

6. What does "genga" stand for?

The term "genga" was used a lot more frequently a few years ago. It meant "colored manga" a.k.a. artbook images done by Takeuchi Naoko.
