I created this gallery as an add-on to my Sailormoon manga site, Mercury*Hime's Sailormoon World. This gallery became more popular than the site itself. ^^; The reason why it's a "Restoration Gallery" is becauseI was a bit tired of browsing manga galleries that were chock full of images, but a lot of them were cut-up, butchered images and/or transparent gifs. This gallery's purpose is to show Takeuchi's art in full, no chopped up pictures. I also try to find better copies of good size and quality for looking at or making into web graphics. I know there are a few pics on here that could be of better quality, and I will keep my eye out for better copies, and of course, give credit to whoever originally had it. =)

After a while I became tired of working on SMW and the Gallery, and decided to go on hiatus. Wow, that was a long hiatus. In that time I've joined a few forums and changed my identity completely - I went from Mercury*Hime to Crazy Pocky, a name much more fitting for a psycho like me. XD I spent my time posting at forums, working on my art, meeting some new great online friends, and eventually I made a new site - pockyland. Even with my infrequent updates and shoddy HTML, pockyland grew nicely and is still expanding. I them made another site, «shadow», and added that to my site collection. Both sites are doing well.

So why come back to this site?
