I originally wanted to project the Sailor Moon universe into science-fiction, getting rid of the sentai aspect in order to explore it from a realistic perspective. I suppose the fact that my Sailor Moon and Animorphs collections share a common bookshelf had something to do with how I came up with this story in the first place – what I can say for sure, though, is that the idea of five teenagers fighting to protect their planet from the invasion of evil forces from space sounded familiar somehow. So you could say this story is basically Animorphs' storyline in a Sailor Moon universe. Now Animorphs fans will definitely find the scenario to be virtually the same, and I want to make it clear that this is an artistic choice on my part – it's not like I lack the imagination to make up my own ideas for stories. Think of it as an exercise in style, and I hope you enjoy this unlikely cross-over.
