Did you know that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare gave away Sailor Moon-themed condoms in heart-shaped packages last month? The condom were distributed in partnership with Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi at STI prevention events throughout Japan and had the text “prevention of STI” printed on the packages.

The same ministry has also used the Sailor Moon brand to spread public awareness about chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis in the past.

In the name of the moon, protect yourself against STIs!
