Farewell, Sailor Moon ––The Pretty Soldiers of Love and Justice––
Special Edition: Dream Kunihiko Ikuhara

To start things off…

First of all, let me apologize for putting out this really half-assed looking book on Kunihiko Ikuhara.
I wanted to put it out when Sailor Moon ended or when Ikuhara resigned, but for various reasons it ended up like this.
Anyway, sorry again.

So, this is a Kunihiko Ikuhara book.
But it's not commentary on his work so much as gossip about Ikuhara himself.
The director has the kind of personality that sorta asserts itself ahead of his work.
Well, I guess that's just his personality and his lot in life.

This book was created from contributions of the people around him in an attempt to capture his true form a bit.
I'd be overjoyed if this book becomes something of a supplement to appreciating Ikuhara's works.

And finally, I'd like to thank everyone who endorsed and contributed to this pathetic excuse for a book from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you very much.

TL might be easier to read in the comments since it's kinda long, so I'm pasting it here too:
