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!

I believe this was alot of girls first mangas,(And maybe some boys first mangas), including mine(Unless you count abunch I never finished that I only read afew volumes of).

Tokyo Mew Mew is a mix between romance, adventure, comedy, and the ever so popular neko characters.
But instead of all nekos, they added other animals too. Birds, fish(I think?), wolves and monkeys.

I'm glad that the artist decided to use their own style, even if it's only slightly different from the standard shoujo style. It bothers me that so many shoujo have the same style. Without the same artist, I mean.

The characters were nice, but ... they could have added a tsundere or yandere. Ichigo isn't really that cold, so she's not tsundere.

It's a very nice series, even if shoujo has some... well.... limits. I suggest it if you are into magical girls, romance, or shoujo.

This is actually a really cute manga. It’s the basic magical girl with a little underlining factor of endangered species. It’s not a bad mix actually in that the characters all have characteristics of the species but sadly it ends there. The girls don’t have attacks that symbolize the animals they were injected with and the colors also don’t feel like they make the cut. For a show that keeps talking about the characters given power from endangered species, they should have put a little more into it. Now that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the manga. The characters are loveable; the names actually ... are rather remember-able (although I don’t understand why someone would call their child lettuce or mint of all things. Must be better in Japanese), and the storyline is pretty cool to get into. You do get to a point where you are wondering just who the bad guy is but if I explain why, I would be spoiling things. When the girls are together, they act just like a regular group of friends and seem to have even more chemistry then even the Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon. It reminds the reader that even though they have been given super powers, it doesn’t mean they aren’t normal girls and won’t use their power for personal gain. I can only wish that some of the drama was taken out so that we could see more of the characters. It circles a lot around Ichigo and I would have liked to see more of the other girls too. The drama with Ichigo and the ‘love triangle’ just gets over used at times.

The artwork was rather cutesy but in a way, I liked it better then some of the older manga’s I read where magical girls were involved. The designs of the girls clothing are out of this world and show off a cute style while still playing to the sexy in a way. The strokes are fluid throughout the manga books, and the way it’s laid out is rather perfect for the action that is placed in it.

Ichigo Momomiya is just your typical junior high school student; cute, energetic, and a bit of a clutz. Like any other girl at her school, she has a crush on the "cutist" guy at her school. Unlike the other girls at her school, Ichigo has a hidden secret; her genes have been altered with that of the endangered Iriomote wild cat giving her the ability of turning into a pink color themed cat girl superhero! Join Ichigo as she and four more girls; Minto Aizawa: the "richest" girl in Tokyo with the ability to turn into a blue color themed ultramarine lorikeet girl, Retetsu [lettuce] ... Midorikawa: a cute but shy bookworm of a girl with the ability to turn into a green color themed finless porpoise girl, Purin [pudding] Fong; a very young [she's about ten], very energetic girl with the ability to turn into a yellow color themed golden lion tammerain girl, and Zakuro Fujiwara: a "lone wolf" of a calm, cool, and beautiful supermodel with the ability to turn into a purple color themed wolf girl, and the mysterious male alien hero "Blue Knight" fight against evil aliens commanded by their leader "Deep Blue" in this shoujo, magical girl, science fictional manga written by manga author Reiko Yoshida and illustrated by manga artist Mia Ikkumi!

As a personal review, I would strongly say that it is loosely based off the Sailor Moon series, but a decent manga neverless if you are into the magical girl genera. The characters are memorable, and Zakuro certainly shows that "diva" personallity in snobby stars [don't get me wrong though, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Zakuro!].

This is my first manga I ever read with knowing it was a manga. I had a lot of fun reading it when I was younger and I still love it to this day. It may have a lot of tropes that we all know, but it dose it well. If you are someone who is older I wouldn't recommend it. But if you know someone who is around 6-10 I would recommend it. I feel like it is a good icebreaker manga to help younger viewers get in to the community. I love how it wants to help the environment too. My only problem ... is that I would like to see more of the other characters is the spotlight. For instance I would have loved to see more of Zakuro and pudding.

Just a great manga for first-time manga readers! It's easy to understand and a laugh too. Also it has such cute romance in it :3 Great manga! YOU MUST READ IT! ^^

Art: The art is very nice.
I like Arina Tanemuras style.
The cuteness of it.

Story: The story is good. Reminds me alot of Sailor Moon though. But this takes up alot about what is also happening in the world as well currently. There are endangered animals, there is pollution, the oceans..

Characters: The characters are so darn cute. And everything happening is also super cute. The intimate cute moments, loving moments are just aww..
It's just too darn cute to read about and look at!

It's a good manga series. I'd recommend it for people who like Sailor Moon. Because it's a series about transforming heroes with different ... abilities. Alot of funny moments as well. Adorable cute and funny moments.
