Oh my God! *fangirl moment*
It’s Naoko Takeuchi’s original ideas for the Sailor Moon costume designs in COSPLAY!!!! This is the most amazing thing EVER!!!
Breaking news: The HxH movie will be a collaboration between Togashi and his wife, detailing the origin story of Sailor Kurapika.
Mangaka of the Week: Yoshihiro Togashi
At age 20, with his debut manga, Yoshihiro Togashi won the 1986 Tezuka Award, the most prestigious award for new mangakas, for his work on Buttobi Straight. Togashi-sensei is also notable for writing and drawing both Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, both being hugely popular and the former winning the 1994 Shogakukan Manga Award. Interestingly, he is married to Naoko Takeuchi, the author of Sailor Moon, with whom he has two children.

Flawless.
This headcanon elaborates on two ideas; Chibi-Usa’s problem with aging + power, and the ever-elusive Sailor Cosmos.
Chibi-Usa was born with control over both the Silver and Golden Crystals. The reason she was permanently stunted and weak was because her body needed to choose which Crystal to “inherit” before she could progress to puberty, and was in a stalemate trying to choose which one. When Chibi-Usa chose the Silver Crystal for herself, she started to age, and the Golden Crystal became dormant inside her.
However, in the distant future, beyond Crystal Tokyo when she has become the new Queen and Sailor Moon, a villain much like Galaxia appears and takes her Silver Crystal. It is destroyed and sent to the Galaxy Cauldron to repair and be reborn.
Normally Chibi-Usa would die in such a situation. But because she had two Star Seeds, the Golden Crystal shifted forward into the dominant position, replacing the Silver Crystal.
But the Silver Crystal still went to the Galaxy Cauldron and still needed to be reborn. With its original host living, essentially, with a replacement Star Seed, it had nowhere to go, and so drifted off into the ether; to the distant future? To an alternate universe? That’s uncertain. But being so powerful it eventually gained a human form, similar to the Crystal’s original host - Queen Serenity - and with only a vague personality that was a diluted shadow of hers.
Sailor Cosmos is not a person. She is the personification of the Silver Crystal, and that is why she returned to that past; not because of Usagi, but her Crystal.
Meeting Usagi gave her humanity.

Hotaru and Chibiusa are walking ahead of Usagi, holding hands. Usagi glares at their linked hands, going “…”
Chibiusa: So did you hear about Kyuusuke and Momo?
Hotaru: No way, are you kidding?
Chibiusa: I’m serious!
Usagi: You two sure are close, holding hands at this ungodly hour.
(Chibiusa and Hotaru stare)
Hotaru: Well, don’t you hold hands with Mamoru?
Usagi facefaults with a huge *bang* effect
She crashes through their linked hands, going grrr! complete with a *break apart* effect
Chibiusa: Usagi, don’t be absurd!
Hotaru: Come on!
Hoshit, the Stars manga scanlations are about to be released
I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS PART
THIS IS WHY HOTARU/CHIBIUSA IS CANON
IT EXPLAINS WHY I SHIP IT EVEN WHEN I DON’T USUALLY SHIP THEY ARE JUST SO OBVIOUS
Seriously, Usagi is depressed over Mamoru leaving and grumbles about the two of them being close and holding hands, to which Hotaru just flat out responds “don’t you hold hands with your significant other?” causing Usagi to get JEALOUS and break them apart!
If that is not confirmation, I do not know what is.
Also, Reborn Hotaru is 20 times as sassier and blunter than she was before, which I totally put down to Haruka and Michiru’s parental influence. <3
I love you, Sailor Moon.
I like it when people reblog old manga posts. LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.
“GOD YOU TWO HOLDING HANDS AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR IN FRONT OF ME WHO IS WITHOUT MY LOVE. GET A ROOM OR SOMETHING OR SO HELP ME I WILL BREAK THAT CHAIN OF LOVE.
