So, I read the Dream Arc of the manga for the first time a few days ago, and decided to check out what Mixx did with it. And a little detail retained my attention...

Did Naoko Sensei really receive the Smile Magazine, or is it a shameless publicity? (seeing how they mention all the COOL FEATURES Smile has?) I still remember how Glénat translated "Kodansha" by their name in Naoko's note .u. I know she did receive fan letters from all around the world but that's a bit far.
(I don't know if I'm at the right category to discuss it ._.)

You know I kind of always wondered this myself considering that usually all manga has author notes. The new sailor moon releases do not though which was very disappointing because I liked reading those and would love to have read what Naoko wrote. This could be true though because if a magazine features your work in it then they usually will send you their products or magazine as a part of advertisement.

I say check with the original release? Do you know the book and chapter?
