This is a really cool manga for anyone who likes Sci-Fi and animals!! I really liked it because I am an animal lover and so this manga was perfect for me!!! Try it out!

My first manga. :). Okay, so here we go.

Tokyo Mew Mew - we have to save the world.

The plot is really simple. There's a girl, Ichigo, who falls for a guy Aoyama. He seemed to like her from the beginning :). Anyway, while being int the museum, or somewhere, there is an earthquake. She is with those 4 girls she doesn't know, and then BOOM ! She doesn't know what's happening, but she remembers a cat : ) Cool isn't it ? :D She became Mew Mew and got to save the world with help from Ryou, who's pretty hot. She has to find another ... Mew Mew's. So there's Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro and Purin. My favourite was always Zakuro, but there's nothing strange about that, I was twelve and inspired by her beautiful figure : D. So Mew Mew have to stop Kisshu, Tart and Pie, from helping Deep Blue to make him come back and destroy Earth. And there are thousands of funny moments. :D. When Ichigo can't control herself and she turns into cat and so on.

So plot was very interesting for a twelve year old girl :D. But when I read it recently I founf it rather childish. But still I think it's a great manga story for girls 10-15 age :D.

Art was good, but I was irritated by noses. When they were looking at left or right side, their noses were something like "We are from the Voldemort family" :D

I loved every character in this manga. Every character. My favourite was Zakuro, but after reading it few weeks ago, I think I like Kisshu the most. I was like "Ichigo you stupid catwoman. He loves you. He's great ! You don't deserve him" :D.

I enjoyed this manga :D. So I gave it fairly 6/10. Because it wasn't the best thing I've ever read but it wasn't also the worst one. It was pretty good.

So, girls, let's read it, shall we ?

This manga doesn't seem to do anything exceptionally well. The plot is very basic and similar to many other magical girl shows. It's about a typical girl who suddenly gets magical powers and now has to protect the world with a group of four other magical girls. This basic premise isn't bad, but it's nothing special. The issue is that almost everything else in this series seems to also follow this "Alright, but nothing special" -formula.

For example, let's take the characters. All 5 of the "Mew Mews" have distinct personalities. There's the relatable main character, the spoiled and sassy rich girl, the shy girl who ... is very kind, the hyperactive and very immature girl and the older cool and smart girl. Now, it's great that the characters all feel very different from each other. The issue is that all of them are very one-dimensional, and there is no chemistry between them. They simply do not feel like a believable group of friends and none of them have any development after they join the team. Also, the story of this series is mostly about the main character and her love interest. The other Mew Mews don't really influence the main story, so it feels more like they were there just to sell merchandise.

Magical girl series usually revolve around both the main character's day-to-day life and then their life as a magical girl fighting evil. For a magical girl series to be successful, both have to be interesting,so it's interesting to see how their day-to-day life affects being a magical girl and vice versa. Now Tokyo Mew Mew doesn't make either that interesting. The fights are very predictable and boring and the only way that being a magical girl affects the main character's day-to-day life is that she has to hide it from her love interest, but even that doesn't really matter since the love interest loves her so much that her weird behavior doesn't affect their relationship in any negative way.

The only thing that I consistently liked about this series was the artwork. The character designs are cute and there are some absolutely beautiful pages. Even then, there were some issues with the paneling that severely affected my enjoyment of the series. Sometimes the pages felt extremely cluttered with way too many panels. There were even a few times that I had to re-read certain parts just to understand what was going on.
