Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode



Author/Artist: Ikumi Mia
Total: 2 Volumes
Year: 2003
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Sci-fi and Shoujo
Scanlator: Bloome Scans
Sequel: Tokyo Mew Mew

Discription:
From Tokyopop:
With Mew Ichigo studying abroad in London, the remaining four girls from Cafe Mew Mew are one too few. Luckily, a new Mew is about to emerge. Berry just transferred to a different junior high because she thought their school outfits were cute.

Little does she know she's about to become the first Mew Mew with TWO sets of animal genes in her blood. Half cat, half rabbit, she's joining the Mew Mew team just in time. A new gang calling itself the Crusaders has appeared, and its leader just happens to love wild game like rabbit - well done and served for his dinner!

When Mew Ichigo returns from London she's going to be very, very surprised!

My opinion:
The only thing I liked here was that there was a cuter couple and the pairing was better than in the first series. This continuation is even more cliché than Tokyo Mew Mew. And the aliens aren't in this one, which is kind of disappointing. But the artwork is still nice.

Tokyo Mew Mew



Author/Artist: Yoshida Reiko
Total: 7 Volumes
Year: 2000
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Sci-fi, Shoujo.
Scanlator: Bloome Scans
The anime is based upon this manga.

Discription:
By me.
Ichigo is finally out on a date with her crush when she's suddenly involved in an odd incident in which her DNA is merged with the DNA of an almost extinct wild cat. When four other girls' DNA is merged with the DNA of four other almost extinct animals, it's apparent that they're part of a much bigger plan. Ichigo and her friends have been chosen to become a part of a secret project called the "Mew Project." Their mission: To protect the planet from aliens who are using the planet's animals to attack humans.

My opinion:
Yes, it's a cute style of drawing, but the story has a very clear outline and is calculable. It's only an old magical-girl cliché. But if you like storys like the mangas in Nakayoshi (Mermaid Melody-Pitchi Pitchi Pitch; Sailor Moon etc.) it's a recommend.
