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!

My first manga. :). Okay, so here we go.

Tokyo Mew Mew - we have to save the world.

The plot is really simple. There's a girl, Ichigo, who falls for a guy Aoyama. He seemed to like her from the beginning :). Anyway, while being int the museum, or somewhere, there is an earthquake. She is with those 4 girls she doesn't know, and then BOOM ! She doesn't know what's happening, but she remembers a cat : ) Cool isn't it ? :D She became Mew Mew and got to save the world with help from Ryou, who's pretty hot. She has to find another ... Mew Mew's. So there's Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro and Purin. My favourite was always Zakuro, but there's nothing strange about that, I was twelve and inspired by her beautiful figure : D. So Mew Mew have to stop Kisshu, Tart and Pie, from helping Deep Blue to make him come back and destroy Earth. And there are thousands of funny moments. :D. When Ichigo can't control herself and she turns into cat and so on.

So plot was very interesting for a twelve year old girl :D. But when I read it recently I founf it rather childish. But still I think it's a great manga story for girls 10-15 age :D.

Art was good, but I was irritated by noses. When they were looking at left or right side, their noses were something like "We are from the Voldemort family" :D

I loved every character in this manga. Every character. My favourite was Zakuro, but after reading it few weeks ago, I think I like Kisshu the most. I was like "Ichigo you stupid catwoman. He loves you. He's great ! You don't deserve him" :D.

I enjoyed this manga :D. So I gave it fairly 6/10. Because it wasn't the best thing I've ever read but it wasn't also the worst one. It was pretty good.

So, girls, let's read it, shall we ?

I'll be frank: Tokyo Mew Mew is bad.

While the concept is mildly interesting - bio-engineered magical girls save the world - the story itself is shallow, cheap, and flat. The tension in conflicts isn't there because the resolution happens within a page or too.

The magic itself is uninteresting; there's no learning curve, the girls just automatically know what to do. Even in the attacks, there is no variation - each girl only has one move.

I also found the romance - between Ichigo and Ryou, as well as between Ichigo and Masaya - dull. With Masaya, it's simply pages of Ichigo staring at him ... lovestruck and trying to hide her cat ears and tail; we don't actually know much about Masaya except that he really, really cares about the environment and endangered species. On the other hand, the ship tease with Ryou and Ichigo relies on his sexual harassment of her, which is downright gross, and on his being a jerk with a heart of gold, which is just... boring.

As a bonus, the outfits are uncreative.

Overall, the story doesn't compel me to care about any of the characters. It's fine if you want something fun and a little flashy, I guess, but it is totally lacking in substance.
