=== Companion books ===
There have been numerous companion books to ''Sailor Moon''. Kodansha released some of these books for each of the five story arcs, collectively called the ''Original Picture Collection''. The books contain cover art, promotional material and other work by Takeuchi. Many of the drawings are accompanied by comments on the way she developed her ideas, created each picture and commentary on the anime interpretation of her story.<ref name="Takeuchi"/><ref>{{cite book |last=Takeuchi |first=Naoko |title=Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Volume II Original Picture Collection |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |date=August 1994 |isbn=406324508X}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Takeuchi |first=Naoko |title=Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Volume III Original Picture Collection |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |date=September 1996 |isbn=4063245187}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Takeuchi |first=Naoko |title=Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Volume IV Original Picture Collection |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |date=September 1996 |isbn=4063245195}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Takeuchi |first=Naoko |title=Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Volume V Original Picture Collection |publisher=[[Kodansha]] |date=August 1997 |isbn=4063245225}}</ref> Another picture collection, ''Volume Infinity'', was released as a self-published, limited-edition artbook after the end of the series in 1997. This art book includes drawings by Takeuchi and her friends, her staff, and many of the voice actors who worked on the anime. In 1999, Kodansha published the ''Materials Collection''; this contained development sketches and notes for nearly every character in the manga, and for some characters that never appeared. Each drawing includes notes by Takeuchi about costume pieces, the mentality of the characters and her feelings about them. It also includes timelines for the story arcs and for the real-life release of products and materials relating to the anime and manga. A short story, ''Parallel Sailor Moon'' is also featured, celebrating the [[Rabbit (zodiac)|year of the rabbit]].<ref name="Materials"/>
