Line 14:
Recruited by the masterminds behind the Mew Project, Ichigo ends up working at the cafe as a waitress by day and alien-hunting catgirl by night, with the promise that she will return to normal when the threat has passed. What's more, there are four other subjects of the Mew Project to find, and a sinister extraterrestrial plot to thwart.
There is also a manga-only sequel written by the head illustrator after the head writer left. ''Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode'' renders Ichigo utterly useless (no, really) so that a [[Creator's Pet|shiny new character]] named Berry Shirayuki/Mew Berry (Tokyopop name: Berry) can take her place. Many fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|like to pretend it doesn't exist]].
The manga was licensed by [[Tokyo Pop]] and the anime by 4Kids Entertainment (where it's known as ''Mew Mew Power''). Only the first half of the series has been released in the United States so far, and because of Fox's [[Screwed by the Network|odd airing schedule]], you're usually likely to only see the first twelve episodes. More recently, it was given the [[Gag Dub]] treatment in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew in a Nutshell]]''. In addition, Kodansha USA has re-licensed the the original manga in omnibus form, coming this fall.
Line 86:
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Retasu's braids and Ichigo's pigtails
* [[Fan Girl]]: Ichigo towards love interest Masaya and Minto towards long-time idol Zakuro.
* [[Fangs Are Evil]]: The aliens.
* [[Faux Paw]]: Ichigo bats and licks when she first becomes a Mew.
* [[Filler]]
* [[Final Speech]]
* [[Finger-Twitching Revival]] {{spoiler|Aoyama, after coming back to life}}.
Line 124:
* [[Image Song]]: The five girls each get some, as does Ringo from the aforementioned game.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Heart-shaped bells? Castanets?
* [[
* [[In a Single Bound]]
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The 4Kids dub throws a lot of these in. For example:
{{quote|'''Ichigo''': (referring to the plant Chimera's love for eating) The only attack this thing has learned is a snack attack!}}
* [[Instrument of Murder]]
Line 160:
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]
* [[Mission Control]]: Ryou and Keiichirou.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Bu-ling's mom is dead. Before the series starts, this escalates to [[Parental Abandonment]].
* [[Monster of the Week]]: Chimera Anima.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]
* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: A lot: Ichigo is a [[Big Eater|glutton]] who accepts the call only when Shirogane offers her free samples of his cafe's sweets; Aoyama is such a [[sloth]] that, unless Ichigo is involved, he never does what he wants because [[Stepford Smiler|it's easier to just smile]]; Zakuro's full of [[wrath]] and reacts with violence (physical and psychological) to any problem and her mere eyes are enough to scare the cafe's customers; Minto is a textbook example of [[Pride]], treating everyone but Zakuro and Shirogane with disdain; Shirogane is so [[Greed|greedy]] he asked for money to help Ichigo with her homework and never paid the ticket of the Tokyo Dome. If they were heroes, we'd even have [[Lust]] (Kisshu) and [[Envy]] (Pai)...
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: Poor, ''poor'' Masaya. He gets this in-universe from [[Stalker with a Crush|Kisshu in his attempts to take Ichigo]], and IRL from hordes of crazy fangirls.
* [[Musical Assassin]]: The Chimera Anima created from Mary [[Mc Guire]]’s spirit in Episode 6.
Line 189:
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]
* [[Refrain From Assuming]]: The 4Kids songs. This has been somewhat fixed since the iTunes release of the soundtrack
** "Dance another Day" is not "Remember When."
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Ichigo, Zakuro.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Minto, though she's bi, and Zakuro. Mostly anime-only, though. In the manga, Minto's affection towards Zakuro was nowhere near what it was made into for the animated series, though that might be because they get more screentime.
Line 205:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: The other Mew Mews ship Ichigo/Aoyama and, in one episode, Retasu/Edomurasaki.
* [[Shojo|Shoujo]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: a ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' stage show appears in one episode.
* [[Something We Forgot]]: Episode 24, the one with the jewelry show, Bu-ling takes on one of the aliens to buy the rest of the team time. Fast forward, the fight is won, the jewelry show finishes and everyone is happy right? But wait, where's Bu-ling? Oh, she's still fighting with the alien [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] By the the aliens 'they seem to be having fun, lets leave them alone'
* [[So What Do We Do Now?]]: {{spoiler|Get married}}, apparently, at least in the manga.
Line 227:
* [[Title Drop]]
* [[The Tokyo Fireball]]
* [[Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe]]
* [[Tokyo Tower]]
* [[Totally Radical]]: The English translated manga.
* [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: Subverted in Episode 45, when Quiche knocks Ichigo’s pendant out of her hand before she can finish transforming.
* [[True Love's Kiss]]
* [[Two-Timer Date]]: With the other party being a monster of the week...
* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]: Averted in Episode 41; the Mew Mews besides Mew Lettuce completely describe their plan to deal with the fish Chimera Anima, and the plan works.
* [[Unusual Ears]]
