I guess this is probably being marketed as the happy middle between the 2014 release (sorry if I’m getting the year wrong) and those who didn’t want to buy the eternal editions which are worth every cent even if you only own a few.

The only thing that would tempt me to buy these is if it came with a limited edition bookmark or post card. Then I would buy at least the first one.

Fun fact: Naoki exists, and is the male version of Naoko.

Have you seen Nay-oh-kay? Nay-oh-kay’s anime?

I’ll have you know that Nay-oh-kay is the alternate lyrics to, “Annie, are you okay?” The narrator is constantly pulled between talking about Sailor Moon’s creator, AND being in a music video. This is my headcanon!

Thanks for being amusing, in seriousness.

Don’t you mean “Nay-oh-kee”? XD
I’ll give him a pass, he’s almost certainly just reading a script and anyone not familiar with Japanese would be confused by her name.
Even I called her “Nay-oh-koh” back in the day.

Regarding that video, the narrator’s tone implies that Naoko Takeuchi blows her nose on real gold leafs. Heh.

The only thing that these dinky editions of Sailor Moon do is make me think of the “tiy foods” trend. I don’t know if anyone else have seen them, but there’s this thing where people make food, just very, very small. Like, a tiny hamburger. A tiny milkshake. It’s cute. It might work as a decoration or so. But I personally have no need for this ‘collection’.

If I was a small Troll doll or a puny elf, maybe I’d prefer these Sailor Moon books. But because I am blessed with big hands, I must say no to these. Even Small Lady would go, “Wow, this is small. Dang.”

Come to think of it, there was a playset when I was a young kid, and it was based on McDonald’s. It was, like, a McDonald’s Hamburger and Fry Maker, but they were, you guessed it, teensy-weensy. That’s what these books really remind me of.

Instead of “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” it’s more like, “Honey, I Shrunk the Books and Slapped the Author’s Name On It and People WILL Buy ‘Em!” I think I’m done now.
