Codename: Sailor V

Codename: Sailor V is the prequel Series to Sailor Moon created by Naoko Takeuchi, originally published in 1991 - 1997. It consists of 3 volumes and 2 volumes reprinted. Naoko Takeuchi adapted her ideas to fit a team format and created Sailor Moon, when it was proposed that Codename Sailor V would be adapted as an anime. Both Manga ran simultaneously: Sailor V was published in Run Run, while Sailor Moon was published in Nakayoshi. Sailor Venus was included in the characters of the Sailor Moon Manga and anime series from the first story arc on.
