Sailor Moon Stamp Collector's Set Looks Back at Early Manga Artwork
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Naoko Takeuchi's iconic magical girl series Sailor Moon is celebrating its 25th anniversary and there's at least one item you can't pick up at the newly opened Sailor Moon store in Harajuku. Fans will have to head to post office locations in Japan to pick up these framed stamp sets when preorders open on October 2.
The "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 25th Anniversary Premium Framed Stamp Set" includes one framed stamp of all 10 of the Guardians, stamp holder, eight premium postcards, and 24 regular postcards. The stamp holder includes an handwritten message by Naoko Takeuchi with her signature. Customers that buy the set at a post office instead of the online website will also receive clear files as a bonus gift.
