▍About “Tokyo Mew Mew”
The manga was originally serialized in Nakayoshi from September 2000 to February 2003, and later published in seven tankōbon volumes by Kodansha.
The story focuses on five girls infused with the DNA of endangered animals which gives them special powers and allows them to transform into “Mew Mews.” Led by Ichigo Momomiya, the girls protect the earth from aliens who wish to “reclaim” it.
The series was adapted into a 52 episode anime series by Studio Pierrot and debuted in Japan in April 2002.
