Tokyo Mew Mew
Tokyo Mew Mew, you can by the title that this is going to be one cute
manga. Tokyo Mew Mew stars Ichigo, a cheerful young girl. One day an
experiment goes wrong and Ichigo, along with four other girls is
injected with genes from animals that are going extinct. Aliens are
attacking Earth and it's up to Mew Mew and her team to save the day!
But (of course) there's romance. Ichigo is in love with her
classmate, Masaya, but is he really what he seems? If you think
saving the world is tough imagine having an alien stalker! |

This series is simply adorable. It's a perfect example of those sweet
lil' shoujo manga, with its frilly dresses, magical girls and
unfailing, young love. The eyes are huge in this series (which is
always good for showing the character's innocence.) There are some
surprises in this series which I didn't see coming (but then again I
haven't read the whole thing yet.) Expect some interesting twists.
Tokyo Mew Mew was actually created by two people, Mia Ikumi and Reiko
Yoshida. It is being published in English by TokyoPop. There are 10
volumes. There has been an anime made of this series and I think
there's movie.
Tokyo Mew Mew should be all right for all ages. Nothing inappropriate.
