MANGAS OF NAOKO TAKEUCHI PUBLISHED BY KODANSHA:

- Chocolate Christmas
- Maria (December 1989-1990)
- The Cherry Project Vol. 1-3 (October 1990 - December 1991)
- Miss Rain
- Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
- Code Name wa Sailor V
- Prism Time Volume 1 & 2
- PQ! Angels
- Toki Meka

The reason I think she created this new series was probably because her love for Bishojo Senshi Sailormoon hasn't died (I hope it doesn't though) and her fans (like me) have been begging for more stuff ever since the manga editions and Anime ended. And since (I've heard) that she detests the Anime, she wanted to start a new series where it was all manga-based plots. And it can hopefully erase a few of the "bad memories" of the Anime series. Just for the fans. With characters she "hand-picked". HOPEFULLY this new show will be successful and she'll end up creating new plots, more characters and a longer story! Let's continue cheering on for more, forever!
