Line 6:
An iconic series that brought the five-girl team of [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]] into the 2000s, ''Tokyo Mew Mew'' started as a Nakayoshi artist's desire to do a series about a [[Catgirl]], and ended up as a sweet tale of choosing the right guy, protecting the environment, and throwing some sparkly [[Stock Footage]] around to solve the world's problems.
Ichigo Momomiya's only care in the world is getting kendo idol Masaya Aoyama to notice her. Since he's interested in
Little does she know that she is one of five Tokyo schoolgirls "[[The Chosen One|chosen]]" by the Earth, possessed of a unique DNA pattern allowing her to host the genes of the Irimote Mountain Cat, one of the Red Data Animals.

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.

* Whatever is written as "myuu" may be either "mew" (as in, a cat sound), "mu" (as in, the Greek letter used by geneticists) or both. "Tokyo Mew Mew" and "Mu Project" have been vindicated by on-screen text (though Tokyopop called the latter the Mew Project) but nobody's quite sure whether the [[MacGuffin]] in the second half of the series is Mew Aqua or Mu Aqua.
