Tokyo Mew Mew (東京ミュウミュウ, Tōkyō Myū Myū) is a shōjo magical girl manga series written by Reiko Yoshida and illustrated by Mia Ikumi that was originally serialized in Nakayoshi from September 2000 to February 2003. The series was also published in seven collected volumes by Kodansha. It focuses on five girls who are infused with the DNA of rare animals. This gives them ability to transform into Mew Mews, changing their appearances and giving them special powers. Led by Ichigo Momomiya, the girls must protect the earth from a group of aliens who wish to "reclaim it" and their Chimera Anima creations.
Tokyo Mew Mew was adapted into a fifty-two episode anime series by Studio Pierrot. It debuted in Japan on April 6, 2002, airing on both TV Aichi and TV Tokyo. The final episode aired on March 29, 2003. A two-volume sequel to the manga, Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, was also serialized in Nakayoshi from November 2003 through April 2004. Two video games have also been created for the series.
The manga series is licensed for English language released by Tokyopop, which has released all seven volumes of the original series and both volumes of the sequel. The anime series was licensed for Region 1 release in North America by 4Kids Entertainment, which renamed the series to Mew Mew Power. Heavily edited and dubbed, 23 episodes of Mew Mew Power aired on the 4Kids TV channel in the United States and 3 more on YTV in Canada. 4Kids was unable to acquire the license for the remaining twenty-six episodes needed to complete the broadcast. The company has also not planned an official release of the series on DVD as of now.
Plot
While Ichigo Momomiya is at an endangered species exhibit with her crush and future boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama, an earthquake strikes. Ichigo, and four girls she just met, are bathed in a strange light. Ichigo sees an cat floating in front of her that merges with her. The next day, she finds herself acting like a cat. After meeting Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka, she learns that she was infused with the DNA of the Iriomote wildcat so that she can transform Mew Ichigo, gaining special powers and a new appearance, so that she can defeat the Chimera Animas, alien parasites that infect animals and turn them into monsters. Operating out of the Cafe Mew Mew, Ryou and Keiichiro tell Ichigo to find the other four Mew Mews to help in the battle: the other four girls who were at the exhibit.
The first Ichigo finds is Mint Aizawa, a spoiled, wealthy girl infused with the genes of the Ultramarine Lorikeet. The second is Lettuce Midorikawa, who was being picked on at the museum and who is infused with the genes of the finless porpoise. Lettuce is at first terrified of what has happened to her and confused about her new powers, and attacks the other two Mew Mews. Ichigo and Mint are able to calm her down and help her realize that rather than losing friends, her new powers have helped her gain some. Young Pudding Fong, infused with the genes of the golden lion tamarin, is the third found. The final Mew Mew, model Zakuro Fujiwara, is infused with the genes of the gray wolf and at first refuses to join the others but changes her mind after they come to help with Kish targets her.
With the five Mew Mews gathered, they find themselves not only having to battle the Chimera Animas, but the three aliens who are setting them loose on the Earth. Desiring to remove all of the humans from the world in preparation for the awakening of their leader Deep Blue, the aliens lived on earth long before the humans and now wish to reclaim it. Kish, the first to show himself, falls in love with Ichigo, but doesn't let that stop him from trying to get rid of the other Mew Mews. He is joined by Tart, who particularly hates Ichigo, and Pie, who is calmly analytical in his attacks on the Mew Mews.
Ichigo learns that they have a limited time to stop the aliens as the cat DNA inside her is trying to become more dominate, causing her to change into a cat when excited. As the fighting gets more intense, the Mew Mews begin to hunt for "mew aqua" which is created from pure, clean water and that contains the power to undo some of the alien's worse attacks. They are also joined by the mysterious Blue Knight, who says he was born to protect Ichigo. When Kish kidnaps Ichigo while she's on a date with Masaya, they learn that Masaya is the Blue Knight, a mysterious man who had been aiding the Mew Mews and protecting Ichigo. His desire to protect Ichigo, whom he loves, manifested itself in the form of the Blue Knight.
However, just as the Mew Mews and the Blue Knight think they are starting to win the battle, Masaya collapses and transforms again, this time into Deep Blue, the alien leader who wants to destroy all of humanity. Explaining Masaya was just a false form he created to house him while he slept, Deep Blue attacks Ichigo and the others. Masaya is able to retain enough of himself to use a nearby mew aqua drop to destroy Deep Blue, killing himself in the process. Crying over his body, Ichigo pours all of her power into him to save his life, but doing so causes her to briefly die instead. He kisses her, which causes her to change back to normal and revives her. After saying their goodbyes, the Kish, Pie, and Tart return to their own world.
Characters
Tokyo Mew Mew's protagonists are Ichigo Momomiya, Mint Aizawa, Lettuce Midorikawa, Pudding Fong, and Zakuro Fujiwara, a group of girls who have been mysteriously "infused" with the DNA of rare animals. Now a part of the "Mew Project", they find out that they have been chosen to protect the Earth: gaining special abilities and a different appearance, they become the group known as Tokyo Mew Mew — magical girls with the power of Red Data Animals. During the story, they receive support and advice from Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka. They are later joined by the mysterious Blue Knight, who pledges to protect Ichigo; and, in the sequel, Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode, by Berry Shirayuki.
The main antagonist of the series is Deep Blue, the leader of the aliens. Deep Blue is assisted by Kish, who develops a crush on Ichigo; Pie and Tart. Deep Blue remains unseen and shrouded in mystery until late in the story. The aliens all have the ability to teleport themselves, fly, and to use parasites to create monsters (called chimera anima) to take over the Earth. The sequel introduces the Saint Rose Crusaders, which takes control of the remaining chimera anima, as the new human antagonists.
Other characters include, Masaya Aoyama as Ichigo's crush and boyfriend, Masha, a robot with the ability to detect the aliens' and chimera animas' presence; Ichigo's parents, Shintaro and Sakura Momomiya; and Ichigo's friends, Miwa Honjo and Moe Yanagida. The anime series also introduce Mint's grandmother and brother, Lettuce's parents and brother and Pudding's four brothers and sister, while the sequel introduces Tasuku Meguro as Berry's friend and later crush and boyfriend.
Production
Mia Ikumi first began working on the Tokyo Mew Mew manga a year before the first volume was released.[1] When she originally presented her idea to her editors, the story was called Tokyo Black Cat Girl. While it featured a cat girl as the story's heroine, the heroine was named Princess Azumi. Azumi was given the ability to transform into a cat girl by an intergalactic police officer named Masha who asked her to aid him in defeating alien invaders called the Baku.[2] As they worked out the story details, however, it was decided that the series should have five characters and be a female superhero story, and she was asked to draw a different lead. Ikumi notes that she was originally reserved about the changes as the original character was designed to be more dramatic.[3]
With the basics hammered out, the Tokyo Mew Mew series was approved and the project grew. Reiko Yoshida was brought on board as the scenario writer and story supervisor.[3][4] Yoshida, along with two other editors, first determined the basic plot for each volume. They would then turn it into a scenario by adding lines for characters and stage directions. After editing and finalizing each scenario, they would present it to Ikumi, who would then add her own ideas and touches. With this done, they now had a first draft of their manuscript, which was then taken to the publishers for final review and approval.[4]
A few months after the first manga volume was published, a two-day Tokyo Mew Mew festival was held during the Golden Week holiday to promote the series. The festival events included a Tokyo Mew Mew art gallery and the release of new series themed collectibles and merchadise. Series artist Ikumi created a special poster featuring all twelve characters for the event. She also held autograph sessions on both days, during which she cosplayed as the character Mint for one day, and as Lettuce for the other.[5]
A musical group called "Mew Five" was also formed to perform at various Tokyo Mew Mew promotional events. They released a CD single of the song Mamoritaikara on July 27, 2001.[citation needed]
Reception
The Tokyo Mew Mew manga series was well received by English audiences. In March and April 2003, the first volume sold an estimated 1,597 and 1,746 copies, respectively through Diamond Comic Distributors. This put the volume at the low end of the top 50 sales for each month.[6][7] By 2004, with most of the series having been released, the series had become a mild success for licensor Tokyopop.[8] It was ranked number 16 on the list of Manga Top 50 for Q1 2004 in the ICv2 Retailers Guide to Anime/Manga, which bases its ranking on sales from both mainstream bookstores and comic book stores.[9] Sales of the sixth and seventh volumes dropped slightly, however both were among the top 100 selling graphic novels in March and May of 2004.[10][11] The first volume of Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode debuted 63rd in the list of top 100 selling graphic novels of May 2005, with nearly double the sales figures of the last volume of the main series.[12] In the Nielsen Bookscan charts, the volume debuted at rank 39 before quickly climbing to the 14th spot.[13] The second volume of a la Mode saw similar success, debuting in the 69th slot before skyrocketing to the 12th position thanks to the airing of the Mew Mew Power anime adaptation on Fox Kids.[14]
Tokyo Mew Mew was generally well received by reviewers, who felt is was a cute and entertaining series. Though AnimeFringe's Patrick King notes that it is not a very intellectual series and that it avoids complex plot points, he felt it made for engrossing "brain candy" and an "endearing action-romance" that has no "delusions of grandeur."[15] Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode had more mixed reviews. Some praised it for being a modern manga that typifies the magical girl formula, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.[16] Mike Dungan, of AnimeOnDVD.com considered the original series to be "quite charming" and felt that a la Mode was a good continuation of the series with the "same fun and excitement" as its predecessor.[17] Others felt Berry was an overly shallow heroine and that the sequel offered nothing new for readers.[18]
Unfortunately, Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode really doesn't give us anything new. It's the same old magic girl group plot, the only difference being that the girls sprout tails and ears when they transform. The Saint Rose Crusaders even have costumes and super villain master plans swiped straight from Sailor Moon. Oh, and the Count, the leader of the Saint Rose Crusaders, dresses in white KKK robes. Always great to see in manga.
— Janet Crocker, Animefringe[18]
Critics praised the art work in both Tokyo Mew Mew and Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode. Ikumi's free flowing art style and character designs were seen as a perfect fit for the series.[15][17][18][16] The main criticism about Ikumi's art comes from her regularly spilling out of the panel borders, where there are any, and her not always making it clear which character a speech bubble belongs to.[16]
One of the most attractive aspects of Tokyo Mew Mew is easily Mia Ikumi's ultra-cute artwork. Big eyes, cat ears, fuzzy tails, and short skirts all come together in a cuteness combo that's hard to resist.
— Patrick King, Animefringe[15]
Mia Ikumi's artwork is perfectly suited to the story, and it's not even all that wispy and frilly compared to other shoujo material. Like many budding manga-ka, Ikumi's greatest strength is in carefully posed character portraits, and her prolific use of tones creates unique effects while also sidestepping the challenge of backgrounds.
— Carlos Santos, Anime News Network[16]
The anime adaptation has been described as a "fun and entertaining" show for kids. Reviewers regularly compare it Sailor Moon, noting that both have a female protagonist, five original team members who have a signature color and power, and have similar basic plot lines.[19] It received high ratings in Japan with extensive merchadizing tie ins and marketing events to help promote the series.[20] When 4Kids announced their licensing of the anime, and that they would be heavily editing and localizing the series, fans of the series were openly dismayed and began multiple campaigns and created websites to try to convince 4Kids to release an uncut version of the series.[21][22] After previews of the retooled series were shown, viewers were less disappointed than they expected they would be, though still chafed as the cultural shifting and desired an uncut DVD release of the series.[20] Mew Mew Power went on to be a successful broadcast series for 4Kids, though it was never released to DVD in North America.[23] In an unusual twist, the 4Kids dub, rather than the original Japanese version, was subsequently licensed for broadcast and DVD release in France, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, and for release to DVD in Australia and New Zealand.[24][25][26][27]

The ninth volume also included a tenth DVD of special features and extra content.[34][35]
In February 2004, 4Kids Entertainment announced that they had acquired the license for the series and planned to air it as part of their Fox Kids network entertainment block. In the initial announcement, 4Kids noted that they would be renaming the series to Hollywood Mew Mew and that the series would be so heavily edited and localized that viewers would not recognized it as being a Japanese series.[36] Subsequent 4Kids press releases about the series referred to the new series as The Mew Mews and its original name of 'Tokyo Mew Mew.[37] When the series premiered on Fox Kids on February 19, 2005, it was named Mew Mew Power.[38] In the 4Kids dubbed version, all of the characters and episodes were renamed, some scenes cut and some story lines modified. All of the music in the series was also replaced with a new score, and the opening theme replaced with the song "Team Up", performed by Bree Sharp. Twenty-three episodes of Mew Mew Power aired on 4Kids in the United States before the series was canceled due to 4Kids being unable to acquire the other half of the series.[39] The 4Kids episodes also aired on YTV in Canada and are currently bring broadcast on the Pop Girl satellite television channel in the United Kingdom.[40][25] Mew Mew Power has not been released to home video in North America, however ten of the 4Kids episodes have been released to Region 4 DVD in (Australia and New Zealand) by Magna Pacific and all twenty-six 4Kids episodes were released to Region 2 DVD in South Africa.[41][27][26] Mew Mew Power was licensed for regional airing in French by Arès Films, which released nine of their dubbed 4Kids episodes to DVD in February 2006 as a single volume through Warner Home Vidéo France.[24] They also licensed the remaining twenty-six episodes of the series that 4Kids had not been able to and released them in two DVD box sets in uncut, French dubbed format through AK Vidéo.[42][43]
Video games
Two video games based on the Tokyo Mew Mew series were released in 2002 by Takara. The first, Hamepane Tōkyō Myū Myū (はめパネ 東京ミュウミュウ), is a puzzle adventure game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. It was released in Japan on July 11, 2002.[45]
Released in Japan on December 5, 2002, Tōkyō Myū Myū – Tōjō Shin Myū Myū! – Minna Issho ni Gohōshi Suru Nyan (東京ミュウミュウ 登場 新ミュウミュウ! みんないっしょにご奉仕するにゃん) is a Playstation turn-based role-playing game that has the player controlling a new Mew Mew, Ringo Akai, as well as the original five Mew Mews. They must defend Ringo's island from Kish, the Chimera Animas, and a new alien named Gato after the group invades in search of Mew Aqua.[46] Both Ringo Akai and Gato were created by the manga's artist, Mia Ikumi, following design specifications from Takara. Ikumi was also asked to name some of the weapons Ringo uses in the game: the Appletick and the Mewberry Rod. The game uses voice actors from the anime series, with the two new characters voiced by Taeko Kawata and Ryoutaro Okiayu, respectively. Ikumi was pleased with how both characters turned out and expressed an interest in using Ringo as a regular character in a manga series in the future.[44] She later has Ringo join the other Mews Mews in the Petite Mew Mew extra story that appears in the second volume of the Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode manga.[47]
