Meet bear Naoko Takeuchi

Naoko Takeuchi (born 1967) is a Japanese manga artist and author.

The people of the world, all of them, whether it is the different race or the different language or the different lifestyle, tend to only think about what we cannot share. But our brains are all the same. We are the same people. With everyone’s strength, we can all share the same feelings. That much is obvious. But it won’t come easily. Naoko Takeuchi, 美少⼥戦⼠セー ラームーン原画集 5 [Bishōjo senshi Sailor Moon gengashū 5]
