VOLUME INFINITY


Voume Infinity is a doujinishi artbook published by Naoko Takeuchi herself. It was distributed by Naoko at Japan's Comiket 1997. Very few of these artbooks exist, so it is extraordinarily rare, often selling for hundreds of dollars. The book contains artwork drawn by Naoko Takeuchi, as well as artwork by animators, seiyuu, and staff members who worked on Sailor Moon. It also contains a short 20-page parody manga, although that is not shown here.

Front Jacket
Model: Sailor Moon

Comments from Naoko: Is it okay to talk in the way I always do? I had been determined to use this picture for the jacket of this book for a long time. Not smiling, sexy Usagi-chan, alone, and this pose. I dedicate this picture to the artists of Sailor Moon AAAND all the actors and actresses AAAND mastery manga arists (!) AAAND my precious, precious friends and acquaintances who gave this book super, super powerful (!!) super, super special (!!!) super, super rare (!!!) illustrations AAAND messages. Everyone, I really, really appreciate it.

Comments from Naoko: So many years have already passed since I decided "I will draw a color picture of CG!" when a certain Mr. Apple gave me Apple-ko-chan (my Mac-chan)... This Chibiii is just a color copy of the one I had my designer paint colors on (laugh). Someone pleeeease teach me how to do CG by holding me by the hands and feet!

Comments from Naoko: I wanted to draw a color picture of her in underwear once. I kinda like it. I wondered if it might be severe, but I heard that Saito-kun, the one in charge of Sailor Moon from K-sha, was surprised to death and upset.

Comments from Naoko: I wanted to draw a color nude once. I like it quite a bit. Wondering "It might be a bit extreme", I was expecting some response, but neither the one in charge from K-sha or my staff-chan-tachi told me a word about it (sob). I'm still soft, aren't I? But a nude is gooood. It's good 'cause it's easy! How QUICKLY the picture is completed! I'm impressed!

Comments from Naoko: This is the same one as the picture I gave to the fanclub of my dear Kadomatsu Toshiki-samaaaa who colored my college life like in the 80s. (That time, I didn't like this picture and redrew another one.) Kadomatsu-sama! Please sing!! And, pleeease let's carry on the idea we go for drink! But I'm not Succhii, so maaaybeee it's hopeless (laugh).

I've been doing a fine job for a long time!!
Ami-chan gave me a lot of encounters and works.
I was raised by Ami-chan.

To Sensei who game me various memories, and Ami-chan, thank you from my heart.

I really like the Ami-chan floating in the swimming pool in the original art collection.

Text reads: For a really long time, thank you very much. Looking back, I first played "Vampil!! (laugh)" in the beginning of "R", then I played Petz of "Ayakashi the Four Sisters", Mamo-chan in his childhood, and Haruka, as if I was a successful fish (laugh). A special experience that'll never happen!! To participate in this work made by all the enthusiastic staff, I was really, really happy. Thank you very much. My only regret is "to part from Michiru... (laugh)" Sensei, and all the fans, thank you so much!

See you again, cute kittens!
