The story takes place in an alternate reality from the rest of the Sailor Moon series, so it does not fit to the main storyline or canon.

However, the lead character created especially for this story is Usagi's second child, Kousagi Tsukino. The daughters of the other four Guardian Senshi (all in grade 3 with Kousagi) also are in the story, who look exactly like (and are named after) their mothers (though the Japanese spelling of the names are different).
