==Works== <!-- Make into prose --> <!--It's not necessary to make this list into prose.--> ===Manga=== {| class="wikitable" |- !Work !Years !style="width:75%"|Summary |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Chocolate Christmas''|チョコレート·クリスマス|Chokorēto Kurisumasu}} | 1987–1988 | A story about a girl who falls in love with a [[Disc jockey|DJ]] over Christmas. It appeared collected into a single ''[[tankōbon]]'' volume. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Maria''|ま·り·あ|Ma-ri-a}} | 1989–1990 | A story, co-written with her friend, [[Marie Koizumi]], loosely based on the book ''[[Daddy-Long-Legs (novel)|Daddy-Long-Legs]]'' by [[Jean Webster]]. She released a pocket edition of the book in 1994. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''The Cherry Project''|Theチェリー・プロジェクト|Za Cherī Purojekuto}} | 1990–1991 | A [[figure skating|figure-skating]]-themed manga, involving the young skater Cherry's quests to become a professional skater and win the heart of a boy. The series was released by Kodansha in three collected volumes between 1991 and 1992. One of its characters, [[List of minor Sailor Moon characters#Haruna Sakurada|Haruna Sakurada]], also appears in ''Sailor Moon''. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''[[Codename: Sailor V]]''|コードネームはセーラーV|Kōdonēmu wa Sērā Bui}} | 1991–1997 | This series follows the adventures of costumed "[[magical girl]]" Sailor V. It directly preceded (and became something of a prototype for) ''Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon'', introducing [[Sailor Venus|Minako Aino]], alias "Sailor V", who would become a significant character in the latter series. Initially starting as a [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot]] in 1991, Takeuchi would later make ''Sailor V'' a serialized manga series that ran concurrently with ''Sailor Moon''. Takeuchi concluded the series after she had already finished ''Sailor Moon''; ''Sailor V ''featured an ending that tied the two series together. Originally released in three volumes, ''Codename: Sailor V'' was re-released in 2004 in a deluxe, two-volume "Renewal Edition" (新装版 ''shinzōban'') format. In 2014, ''Codename: Sailor V'' was published in a two-volume "Eternal Edition" (完全版 ''kanzenban''). |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''[[Sailor Moon|Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon]]'', later known as ''Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon''|美少女戦士セーラームーン|Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn}} | 1991–1997 | Known to international audiences simply as ''Sailor Moon'', this manga became Naoko Takeuchi's most famous work and spawned two anime, several films, stage musicals, a live-action television series, and video games of various genres. A fusion of styles between the ''[[magical girl|mahō shōjo]]'' and ''[[sentai]]'' genres, ''Sailor Moon'' tells the story of [[Sailor Moon (character)|Usagi Tsukino]], a girl who one day discovers her identity as the [[reincarnation]] of a celestial heroine who fights for love and justice. This series was largely responsible for the late-1990s resurgence of "magical girl" anime and manga. The series was originally released in eighteen volumes, but was re-released in 2003 and 2004 in a deluxe, twelve-volume "Renewal Edition" (新装版 ''shinzōban'') format, with two supplementary volumes containing side stories to the main work. In 2013, the chapters were once again re-released in ten "Eternal Edition" (完全版 ''kanzenban'') volumes to commemorate the manga's twentieth anniversary, which includes digitally remastered artwork, new covers and color artwork from its Nakayoshi run. Characters from her previous work, ''Codename Sailor V'', return in this one. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Miss Rain''|ミス・レイン|Misu Rein}} | 1993 | A collection of five short manga, including the title work. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Prism Time''|プリズムタイム|Purizumu Taimu}} | 1996–1997 | A collection of [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot]] stories, from early works to those from the late 1990s. It is available in two volumes, released in 1995 and 1997, respectively. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''PQ Angels''|PQエンジェルス|PQ Enjerusu}} | 1997 | Features two alien girls with the ability to turn into [[cockroach]]es, who are searching for their princess. The series was a complete disaster for Takeuchi: it was discontinued abruptly after only four chapters, and Kodansha lost the proofs of the portion that had been written. It has therefore only appeared in its original serialization, from September to December 1997. |- valign="top" | ''Princess Naoko Takeuchi's Return-to-Society Punch!!'' | 1998–2004 | A collection of short strips, detailing what Takeuchi did after ''Sailor Moon''. It ran for a number of years under a changing title, giving details about her post-''Sailor Moon'' slump and recovery, as well as her meeting, marrying, and starting a family with fellow manga creator [[Yoshihiro Togashi]]. The comic ran in [[Shueisha]]'s ''Young You'', rather than a Kodansha publication, and has not been collected since its original serialization. There are similar "____ Punch!" comic strips in the same format at the end of some of the ''Sailor Moon'' "Renewal Edition" volumes. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Toki☆Meka!''|とき☆メカ!|Toki☆Meka!}}<!-- Please see notes about the romaji of the title in the discussion. --> | 2001 | A one-shot story about a robot (Mecha), her creator, and their adventures. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Love Witch''|ラブ・ウィッチ|Rabu Witchi}} | 2002 | A story where a girl receives a perfume bottle and becomes a witch, but with a heavy price. It ran in ''[[Nakayoshi]]'' from April to June 2002, with a side story, "Sister Witch", in September 2002. It was discontinued after three chapters with no explanation. It has yet to be reprinted in any sort of compilation. |- valign="top" | {{nihongo|''Toki☆Meca!''|とき☆めか!|Toki☆Meca!}}<!-- Please see notes about the romaji of the title in the discussion. --> | 2005–2006 | A serialized version of the original one-shot, which began after the completion of the ''Sailor Moon'' and ''Sailor V'' re-releases. The first portion ran from the January to April 2005<!--pg 339 of ''Nakayoshi'' April 2005--> issues of ''Nakayoshi'', after which the author went on hiatus, promising that she would return to the series later. The second phase of the series started in November 2005. One collected volume, released in August 2005, has been published thus far. The serialization officially ended in May 2006. This makes ''Toki☆Meca!'' the first series that Takeuchi has completed since ''Sailor Moon'' and ''Codename: Sailor V''. |} ===Anime=== ====''[[Sailor Moon (TV series)|Sailor Moon]]'' (1990s series)==== {| class="wikitable" !
