About Tokyo Mew Mew
Tokyo Mew Mew follows five girls infused with the DNA of endangered animals, which lets them transform into Mew Mews. Led by Ichigo Momomiya, they defend Earth from aliens who want to reclaim it.

A two-volume sequel, Tokyo Mew Mew à la Mode, followed. Tokyopop published the first English edition; Kodansha Comics publishes the current one.
