A little background on the
following images...
Kousagi first appeared in a short manga featured in the back of the Materials
Collection artbook, titled "Parallel Sailor Moon". Originally printed
in Japanese, the manga lasts only 19 pages, but the short story has left an
enormous impression on underground otaku around the globe, with translations in
Spanish, Italian, English and countless other languages, all fan based.
The story follows the
second-born daughter of Usagi and Mamoru, and takes place around 15 years after
Sailormoon StarS. Many of the original characters make their cameos in this
tale, including a teenage Chibiusa, and the story also introduces the children
of the Inner Senshi, as well as a nameless pink cat.
On September 22, 2004, the short
manga was republished as part of a new manga collection titled: Sailormoon
Short Stories Vol. 2. Though entirely intact, the new version does have a few
alterations, such as added pictures of stars in the battle scenes, and much
clearer shots of the Parallel Senshi. The book also has a short note on
Kousagi, in the back, as part of the story on the Sailormoon Timeline.
Below are three versions: The
full Japanese, a Tokyopop inspired English version and the 2004 reprint.
As an added bonus, I have added
two pictures from the Materials Collection artbook of Kousagi and her cat, and
two mock up covers, for the Tokyopop manga that could have been.
