The Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon Setteishiryoushuu (Takeuchi Naoko Materials Collection) is undoubtly the best Sailormoon artbook. This book contains alot of Naoko's original character plans, sketches, and watercolors. There are alot of things that didn't make it to the final manga; for example, Diana was originally a little fairy with wings. There is also a timeline of when the art and manga were sold, and in the back is a very special chapter called Parallelsailormoon. This one chapter (and the entire contents of the artbook) answer many questions about the series. It shows how each of the inner senshi met there dream and got married; we even get to see their children. Most importantly, we find out about Usagi's first daughter, Kousagi.    Some people have asked me how Kousagi could be Usagi's daughter when the manga states that Usagi can have no more than one child. I think that this chapter was just something fun Naoko created "just because." You should also remember that in the end of Sailormoon manga 18, Usagi was given a choice to live on as a senshi or to awaken from it as if everything had been a dream. Usagi choose to awaken and live the life of a normal girl. Therefore, the rules change and Usagi is able to have more than one child. Whichever explaination you want to think of as correct is probably right, maybe both are right, whatever the case may be, this chapter is one of the most entertaining. What follows are some of the key points from the chapter Parallelsailormoon. The year is 1999 in the month of July...    Usagi (Sailormoon) is married to Mamoru, of course, and she doesn't have a job. Usagi's last name, Tsukino, was kept as the family name. They have a daughter named Kousagi. Kousagi loves to eat; she'll eat anything, even if it was on the ground. She even says that she would like to taste what bunnies taste like sometime. In 1999, Kousagi is in the 3rd grade along with her bossy friends Ami, Mina, Mako, and Rei. Kousagi eats a lot at school and sometimes Usagi forgets to pay the food bill. Kousagi also takes a cooking class run by Michiru. The Tsukino family has bunnies and Kousagi likes to take care of them. But, just like the bunnies, Kousagi is scared of cats. The others laugh at her because Luna lives with the family and Kousagi must be in constant fear.    Just her luck in this chapter, Kousagi meets a pure pink cat (that looks suspiciously like Chibichibi with cat ears and whiskers when she morphs into a human). The pink cat tells her that she must save the planet from a new enemy (which turns out to be a massive bunny head made of thousands of smaller bunny heads O_o). She is resistant until the catgirl tells her that the other senshi (the children) will be under her control if she does morph into sailorform. Kousagi likes this idea because the others always run away from her or boss her around. She agrees and the catgirl tells Kousagi to say Parallel Moon Power Make Up!! Suddenly, Kousagi becomes a Sailorsenshi in sailor-fuku adorned with miniature bunny heads. The manga doesn't say what she is called, but I think it is Parallelsailormoon because that is the name of the chapter.    Kousagi has no real attacks, but she defeats a massive bunny head monster by creating a huge mountain cat from a bunch of small cats, which then swallows the massive bunny head whole. She says Nekochan nekochan dekai ooyamaneko ni nare~~!!, which means Kittycat kittycat become a mountain cat~~!! which causes all the nearby cats to form into one huge mountain cat. When it is all over, all the children wake up on the floor of the cooking class to the sound of a very angry Michiru. Was it a dream? If it was, then why is the pink kitty winking at Kousagi after she wakes up? -^.~ hehe!    Chibiusa is still living in the past with everyone so she must play older sister to Kousagi, even though Kousagi is the older sister in the normal timeline. At this time, both Hotaru and Chibiusa are both in 3rd year of middle school. They both wear glasses now and are very smart. Chibiusa even says she wants to go to the same high level schools as Ami (Sailormercury).    Minako (Sailorvenus) is married to a comedy assistant director, and he helps Minako get more signatures from her favorite idols. Minako has a tatoo of a winged heart on her right arm (they are adults now so I doubt that it is a rub on). Minako's last name, Aino, was kept as the family name. They have a daughter. Her name is Mina, and she is in the 3rd grade.    Ami (Sailormercury) is an assistant doctor and she is married. They kept Ami's last name, Mizuno, as the family name. They have a daughter, named Ami, who loves to play on her computer and is in the 3rd grade.    Rei (Sailormars) is a preistess and shodou teacher and she is married to a school teacher who is also a preist in a shrine. Rei's last name, Hino, was also kept as the family name. They have a daughter also named Rei.    Makoto (Sailorjupiter) is the manager of her own store and her husband of 7 years helps her with it, but it has only been a month and she isn't doing well in the business yet. She lived with her husband 2 years before they were married. They kept Makoto's last name as the family name, Kino. They have a daughter named Mako.    Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru run their own cooking classes, which all the senshi's children attend.    This book is a little expensive, but worth the money.
