Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode (Manga)

This was a story with very cute drawings, but it echoes Tokyo Mew Mew and was not very creative. The life of Berrii or Berry is simply a modified version of Ichigo's, and she takes over the entire story. This isn't a masterpiece manga, and the only real reason I feel you could read it for is looking at the artwork.

Since Tokyo Mew Mew really captured my time and attention, I was really ready for a La Mode to do the same. Well needless to say i was very disappointed. The main character Berry (or Berii however they say it) took over for the first main character Ichigo. I considered that mistake number one. Next the storyline or lack there of made no sense. All in all a La Mode really was a waste of everyone's time and money.

Absolutely TERRIBLE. The loss of Yoshida Reiko really impacted the series. Tokyo Mew Mew was great, but a la mode is NOT. Berii (or, as Tokyopop calls her, Berry) is as bad of a Mary Sue as you find in most of fanfiction.net, characters acted out of character, and Ichigo is shuffled offscreen and cripplingly depowered to give the Playboy Bunny a chance to hypnotize her friends into loving her. Ikumi Mia's art is still top-quality, but the story greatly suffered. Do yourself a favour and stick with the original series.

What the fuck is going on ?

So I'd been patient. I was like "OMG. My childhood will reborn". Dissapointed. Like seriuosly.

There is a chick - Berry - she transforms into some rabbit and she's like a replacement for Ichigo. AWESOME ! -sarcastic.
She has her own love history, pretty lame comparing to Ichigo's, but anyway I could have survive this, but I think I didn't want to. I did it to the end. And it was such a waste of time.

Art stays like usual. But character's rating. I don't understand why Ichigo was for such a short time. I missed her, so as the other girls. They just weren't the same. But Purin reminded me that she is great and only because of that I made my judgement as one point down in character's rating. Only thanks to Purin !

I also didn't enjoy it as I did with the first series. So it also went down.

It's fair 5 to me. But everyone who's up to reading it. Don't. If you loved the first series, the first 7 volumes, don't read those. As respect to your memories from Tokyo Mew Mew ! read more

There were so many negative points here. No plot until chapter 8, the 3rd-to-last chapter. What gives? I pick up a sequel series, I expect a good plot, not some magical girl-slice of life mishmash. Thee poor attempt at a romance sidestory didn't help. Losing Rieko Yoshida was definitely a big blow to the writers. I would not reread this at all. The only real positive thing was maintaining the art style from the first series. This series was lucky to be rated a 6.

It's a cute story and everything, but the other reviewers are right: Berry totally kicked Ichigo to the curb, and that's seriously not alright. She's rather obnoxious, and I feel as if the writer for a La Mode was picked from a pool of badly written TMM fanfics.

The artwork is beautiful though, and the only other thing besides the beautiful art is the fact that there's only two books in the a La Mode set.

All in all, if you like poorly written manga with beautiful artwork but the story line resembles something that you'd see on ff.net, then this is the manga for you!
