The new Sailor Moon Manhole Cover blends beautiful vintage art with real-life locations
Sailor Moon is bringing it to life with themed manhole covers featuring official artwork from the hit series, in beautiful classic manga style.
The Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Museum first opened in Tokyo in July 2023 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sailor Moon manga. The exhibition is open until December before a decision is made to organize a museum tour throughout Japan. Starting from Fukouka, the museum will then travel to Osaka and Aichi.
Sailor Moon continues to deliver magic across decades and generations
Sailor Moon remains a timeless franchise, inspiring museums, countless works of fan art, and perhaps most notably, cosplay. WWE star Zelina Vega’s Queen Serenity cosplay is just one of many Sailor Moon cosplays that have gone viral, showing how Takeuchi’s manga unites fans from all walks of life and across generations . For example, new fans in Canada are showing interest in the series following the launch of Pluto TV’s dedicated Naruto and Sailor Moon channel in December 2023.
