      Originally wanted to kill all of the main characters at the end of the first Sailor Moon manga arc but her editor wouldn't let her do that since it was a girls series.
    • Quotes
      I really wanted to write a story with a sexy girl, a good-looking guy, some romance, video games, and cute school uniforms! Of course Bunny [Usagi/Serena Tsukino] is strong, too... we've got to be strong for our boys! Right, girls?
