Additions: These are some of the main editions/changes in this volume from the original Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon (BSSM) Manga:
The cover has a new drawing of Sailorneptune holding her mirror.
The back cover has a small Sailorneptune sitting on a green crescent moon.
The first edition came with a green (removable) wrap around ad. It was a contest to win either the first PGSM DVD or VHS.
The firt inside page is the stickers page. It has a larg image of Usagi wearing a kimono. The text on the picture says "Usagi Tukino is Secret Moon Princess Naoko Takeuchi 2004". There is also a small sticker of the PGSM logo.
The next pageis a color picture of Sailorneptune. It is the same image from the cover, except there is no background.
A color image on a white background of all the senshi's heads, possing as a ground.
A one page color manga. This is the first page of Act 36, which has been colored in. Princess Serenity stand on top of a pedastal. The text of the page is blue.
Next is a two page Title page for Act 36. It is in color and has the faces of all the senshi. In between them are red flowers.
Last is a green colored contents page with a small Sailorneptune on the bottom.
Some of the black and white images have been freshened up. Naoko re-drew a few scenes changing minor details.
The notes from Naoko have been removed and replaced with small images of the senshi.
There is an error in the first printing of this volume. Act 39's title page should be on page 153, but it appears 10 pages into the act, on page 163.
At the very end of the book is a 2 page black and white ad for the first 8 volumes of the revised manga.
