Synopsis

Berry Shirayuki is a cheerful and optimistic 12-year-old girl who has just been accepted into a private girl's school after studying hard for her exams. Aside from friendly but unwanted comments from her next-door neighbor Tasuku Meguro, it seems as if nothing can go wrong for this newly-made middle schooler! After the first day of school ends, Berry is saved from tripping over stairs by a blonde-haired boy, and ends up following him to Café Mew Mew in hopes of thanking him. While in the cafe, Berry accidentally stumbles upon a shining statue that projects visions of a cat and rabbit—who enter her body just before she metamorphosizes into a white-costumed magical girl with bunny ears and a cat tail!

Following a series of strange incidents which lead her to discover amazing hearing and jumping skills (as well as a craving for carrots), Berry realizes that she has become a new member of Tokyo Mew Mew—a group of magical girl superheroes with both animal-like and supernatural abilities! Berry needs to take her new responsibility as a protector of the peace seriously, because she is now a target for Tokyo Mew Mew's new enemy... and they are on the hunt for some fresh rabbit.

Mixed Feelings

I will be the first to admit that I was skeptical about this one. Just reading the description... A new Mew Mew addition (after the world's already supposed to be saved and the girls should have lost their powers) who gets to be extra special and have the DNA of TWO animals? At first glance, Berry sounded like someone's Mary-Sue OC. But, though I know it sounds almost blasphemous to say it... In a lot of ways, A la Mode was actually better than the original manga.

Mia Ikumi's skills as an artist grew a lot over the course of Tokyo Mew Mew. Throughout, ... this sequel just looks better. Cleaner, more detailed. (In some of the early Mew Mew volumes, I was genuinely surprised she'd even gotten published at times.) Story-wise, it wasn't great... but I felt like it Could have been something really good. Every plot point just feels half-formed. Having the new villain group turn to brainwashing and subliminal messaging in the media to turn the public against our heroes is actually a really cool idea. The villains themselves felt like they could have been interesting characters... if only the story didn't end before it took the time to explore them.

There was a lot of talk of Berry taking over as the leader early on... but that never really happens. (And I'm not sure why anyone would want her to. Way to shove in our faces how inconsequential the other girls ended up being in the original. If anyone ought to take over when Ichigo's away, it should have been Mint.) She never really escapes that feeling of being a little sister character, but that feels like the way it Should be, and I enjoyed seeing her accepted into the group so wholly.

And I honestly felt more attached to the Berry/Tasuku romance than I ever did to Ichigo and her connection to Masaya. Our original couple is just so... bland, even with the plot twists they throw in about Masaya near the end. Ichigo's attraction to him felt really shallow. Berry and Tasuku had what felt like a real connection. Their childhood friends vibe was sweet. The little flashback in volume two of how they grew to be so close, in the aftermath of Berry's mother's death, was actually more than I've come to expect from Mew Mew's writing. It was a nice surprise. (Every single volume has had so much space dedicated to mini stories like bonus manga and the Mew Mew Kindergarten segments... I really wish they would have scaled that back and poured a little more of that effort into the main story-- in both the original and the sequel.)

So yes. It doesn't seem to be a very popular opinion, reading some of these other reviews... But I actually felt A la Mode was worth reading. It was a decent follow-up to the main story. And some things were definitely improved upon.

Mixed Feelings

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

Story: The story is okay. Not too good and not too bad either.

Characters: The main characters are adorable. I fell in love with both of them together. They are sooo sweet together. Like every single page with them is so darn cute. That actually is a positive thing that the main characters are very nicely done.

It's very hard to make a following up thing without it messing everything up. And though I do like this series a bit, it just does not add up to Tokyo Mew Mew.

Alright, Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode. It’s a sequel or we can say spinoff but a sequel would be better. At first, I was a little hype to see a continuation of Tokyo Mew Mew after finishing watching the anime and found out there is a new character in the manga. Didn’t think too much about that new character in the cover until I’ve started reading. The focus for the main lead is gone and is focused on a new girl character. As I’ve continued reading, I’ve started to noticed that the plot is basically a repeat of Tokyo Mew Mew with the focus ...
