Find out in the thrilling conclusion to Tokyo Mew Mew! This omnibus edition contains volumes 5, 6, and 7 of Tokyo Mew Mew!
Overall this series is just cute to read but there is not much plot or character development, and every boy is trash and they are ALL in love with the protagonist its so weird.
This was pretty good (looking at cawpile this actually just barely scraped by getting a 4 stars)- I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the previous installments just because (especially the last 2 volumes) felt extremely rushed, like - all the mews got this whole arc around getting the mew aqua - pudding got something a little like an arc, but then Zarco just sorta found it, no really story around it she just found it, and I really wanted and expected her character to get developed more because other than her agreeing to become a mew she has basically been forgotten about.
But yea other than that it was just fine - I enjoyed the first two volumes a lot more and because of that I expected more of the ending.
Well that made me teary, i mostly blame Ichigo, Kish, Ryo and Mint for that. It's such an incredible series and i love the strong relationships formed throught it. I still think Ichigo should end up with Ryo though, hehe.
Realmente no sé por dónde empezar, así que iré por donde siento que debo de ir: Como ya lo he mencionado muchas veces, Tokyo Mew Mew / Mew Mew Power fue una de las series que siento que más marcó mi infancia. Gracias a ella hice amistades, tuve muchas experiencias y me sentí como en casa en diferentes sitios y eventos. Aunque los años han pasado y los recuerdos en torno a la serie no siempre resultan cómodos o gratos de rememorar, debo admitir que nada ni nadie le quitarán el lugar especial que ocupa en mi corazón. Y es precisamente por eso que decidí ahorrar y mandar traer estos tomos para añadirlos a mi colección.
Tokyo Mew Mew Omnibus 3 cubre las tres últimas partes de la historia: desde el momento en que el triángulo amoroso de Aoyama x Ichigo x Blue Knight se consolida, hasta la pelea final contra Deep Blue, líder de los aliens, por el futuro del planeta Tierra.
Fue un libro raro. Primero porque pasan las mismas tonterías rosas de toda la serie, pero, de la nada, comienza a aparecer la sangre, las muertes y los niños desnudos… (Tipo, SÉ que en Japón la desnudez se relaciona con la pureza del alma y esas cosas, pero “lo que nunca quise ni espero ver es a Aoyama-kun encueradito…”. Las cosas que me gustaron del manga fueron varias: como las escenas de Kish e Ichigo, la mejora que se puede apreciar en los dibujos conforme el final se acerca, el giro repentino de todo lo cursi hacia escenas más bien siniestras, e incluso la aparición de nuevas parejas. Pero las cosas que no me gustaron del manga vuelven a ser las inconsistencias en la trama y la manera en que Mia Ikumi parece ver las relaciones entre niños. Así como hubiera preferido que a las demás parejas se les diera un poco más de luz y atención, como en el anime… Pero, bueno. Se complementan.
Algo que sí quisiera recalcar y que tuvieron que pasar varios años para que lo aceptara es el hecho de que Ichigo/Zoey haya preferido a Aoyama/Mark sobre Dren/Kish, . Aunque sea fanática de la idea de que los villanos puedan ganarse a la chica, me agrada cómo es que, al final, Ichigo decidió por sí misma con quién quería estar y no permitió que nada ni nadie chantajeara su decisión. Aparte: pude comprender un poco más de la historia. Ya que 4Kids nunca se hizo con la serie completa ni yo hice mucho por verla entera por internet, había cosas que no comprendía y que el manga me pudo ayudar. Como la historia de Aoyama y el por qué es cómo es.
Aparte de la historia, la autora nos regala varias historias: Petit Mew Mew, que es un universo alterno en que las heroínas son unas pequeñas niñas en edad prescolar. En estas aventuras, Ichigo y compañía lidian con bullys, pajaritos que se han caído del nido y con un príncipe estelar que lo único que quiere es tener amigos con quienes jugar. Es en estas historias donde aparece el primer cameo de Ringo, la Mew Mew que sólo aparece en uno de los videojuegos. Y también tenemos un manga más corto: Sleeping Princess in Berry Forest, la historia de una niña que pierde a su mascota en un bosque y termina encontrando el amor. Es sencillo y otra muestra de lo creepy que la autora se puede poner al momento de idear romances infantiles, haha. Al finalizar la historia, Mia Ikumi hace la primera mención a la secuela, TOKYO MEW MEW A LA MODE. Pero, ya después de haberla leído y haber decidido que me gustó lo suficiente como para ranquearla bien, prefiero quedarme con otros fanfics:P
Así que, por las cosas buenas y por las cosas malas, por las cursilerías y por el melodrama, de verás puedo decir que Tokyo Mew Mew se queda entre mis mangas favoritos.
I'm so happy to reach the conclusion of this series once again. This was such a fun trip down nostalgia lane (and I do look forward to reading the omnibus of the sequel series.) I will say that I have to dock a star from my rating this time around due to some formatting wonkiness in this volume, but that aside, I still feel like this stands as a very solid conclusion to the Tokyo Mew Mew series on the whole.
Let's get into some spoiler territory.
Either way, it's still a fun and generally cutesy conclusion to a very good gateway magical girl series. Plus, I imagine most people will enjoy the little side stories, though I can't say I care about them quite as much these days. If you ever get a chance to find and read these omnibus volumes (or heck, even the out-of-print individual seven volumes released by Tokyopop,) I say it's worth giving a shot for the sake of getting to read it at least once.
In light of the recent news of a reboot I finally got the last volume ~ This was my big obsession in middle school but I only remember the (mess) of the anime which is still dear to my heart lol I have two problems overall. Mew Zakuro really didn't get any development. I was really sad that she was kind of put in the background. She is just a stoic, albeit very funny character in her own right but theres really nothing more. In the anime I remember there being more of a conflict around her? But that was anime probably trying to elongate the series (I'm not sure if the anime outpaced the manga or just the production choice) Another thing is Aoyama. I felt he was hella boring in the anime. He's a little better in the manga. But still a bit bland. I respect Ichigo for sticking with him, but my middle school heart was really hoping she'd go with Kish lol. He certainly has grown on me a little bit. Overall I think it's a pretty good ending to the series. Certainly has its share of flaws but i still enjoyed it.

I loved this series so much!! Tokyo Mew Mew is so thrilling and full of surprises! It is cute, fun, pretty, exciting, and just overall a great read!
This third omnibus was the best so far. I had no clue what was coming next at any given time. I genuinely loved every minute of this manga and I only wish that I had found it sooner!
One aspect that I wish had been more fleshed out were the secondary characters--the other Mew Mew's. I really wanted to know more about Zacro but she was hardly mentioned at all, except when she had to say her catch phrase. The same goes for Lettuce and Pudding. Aside from Mint, whom we got to see a little more of, Ichigo was really the only fully-developed character.
Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the Tokyo Mew Mew series immensely!
I remember watching the anime when I was a kid and enjoying it but I really didn't enjoy reading the manga that it was based on. It isn't terrible but it isn't good (hence 2* as oppose to 1*). There is virtually zero character development in the entire series, the other Mew Mews are there just to appear in fight scenes but they have no development or backstory at all. Characters seem to be in love with Ichigo for no reason (Kish being the main one here). There isn't much of a plot and the one that is there is incohesive most of the time and stuff just happens randomly and is then resolved in one page.
This is getting a new anime this month which is the reason I decided to read it. I wonder if that will be better.
I remember watching the anime when I was a kid and really enjoying it. Now that I've come back to the manga as an adult, I find myself not liking it nearly as much. The characters were severely under developed, especially the sidekicks and guys. Almost all of the lead male characters were infatuated with Ichigo for no reason and were weirdly obsessive about it. (Kish, I'm looking at you.) The story wasn't too bad, but was too fast paced with plot points being resolved in a page or two. I also did not enjoy Ichigo's personality and "feminine helplessness" at times, but I understand this is a product of its time.
I'm going to try and rewatch the anime to see if it holds up to my fond memories of this story.
I enjoyed this series. It was cute and nice to read between serious novels. Some things about it don't sit right with me, though. Like Ryou making these young girls work (for no pay!) in his cafe even after they've found all five girls. Also the fake wedding at the end of the series between Ichigo and Masaya. I think it said somewhere that Ichigo is 12? IDK. I get that it's a manga for preteen girls and I remember being a preteen girl and fantasizing about meeting my true love when I was in middle school and getting married and being together for all our lives, but the fantasy element of parts like that feel too, well, fantastical for me to suspend my belief, I guess. I probably would have eaten it up when I was that age, though, so probably I'm just showing my current age, haha.

I was way too old when the anime came to Italy and I've never watched it. In addition, it seemed to be a sort of Sailor Moon rip-off. But I don't remember which one came first.
Some scenes were confusing and I had to go back a couple of pages to try to understand what was going on. And Ichigo seems way too childish - even compared to Usagi. Well, the other Mews were kind of left out and I - as a reader - didn't know anything about them. Sailor Moon was much more fleshed out from this point of view.
The ending was just meh... I guess I'll be forgetting this series in two or three days. Even if I plan to read the sequel.
Ichigo and the other girls with Cat DNA fimally won the battle between the humans and aliens with a bit of help with their cat powers. Ichigo gets kidnapped and gets held hostage but the other girls intervene. Ichigo realizes how much she loves Aoyuma, and the girls continue working in Cafe Mew Mew.
The quintessential, of its time, must read Mahou Shojou - the tension reaches its peak and we get our plot threads tied up. I think the anime adaptation gave the rest of Team Mew more background and it was more fleshed out as the manga rushes from one point to the next but eh, still a pretty quick and nice read!
I am beyond happy with how this series ended! It was everything I wanted and more! I'm at a loss for words.... this volume had me feeling all the emotions. I was definitely stressed out near the end haha (if you know, you know). So, glad I picked this series up and I'm a little sad it's over but, I will reread it it the future :)
Simply just a fun, cute manga that probably appeals to those of us who first read it when it came out. Not to say it can't attract new fans by any means, but for me the nostalgia angle made this reread of the series enjoyable.
4 stars, a series I discovered in my teenage years that hold a very special place to me despite it's faults. The manga tends to focus on the main character Ichigo and her problems while leaving the rest of the magical girl team with less focus. But they all have their charms.
This was the last in 3 omnibus's for this series, and frankly, it was my least favorite. It has a little too much romance for me liking, and the action sequences are dumb.
Its good! I have issues with it but its from the early 2000s so Im not gonna knock it hard. That being said I don't care about the young versions of them LOL
I didn’t dislike it, for sure. But I also definitely didn’t love it. I wanted to, though, and thought I would like it more. Sadly, I didn’t.
I did like the story, and the character’s weren’t too bad. I wanted to read to the end, to see how it all wrapped up. The ending was a little cheesy, and seemed to work a little too well, but it was all right. The romance was actually all right, for the most part. I wanted to see how it all concluded.
I’ve watched about half of the anime at this point (it’s taken me, like, five plus years, but still), and I think it’s done better than the manga, though. The characters are given more time to develop, especially the minor-characters. It also seems less immature, and more cute magic-girl. So, better.
The writing here was immature and exaggerated. I’m not sure if the translations aren’t as good as Kodansha’s more recent series, but I think it might just be the author’s writing.
The characters are also hugely immature. Ichigo is immature and whiny and exaggerated. Ichigo freaks out over everything. She falls in love with Aoyama pretty much immediately, with no reason given, even after they start hanging out. There’s no real chemistry between them, at least to me. I think mostly, though, it was very one-dimensional. There wasn’t any real development or reasons or chemistry. It was very surface-level, all the way through the series.
There were hints of chemistry between Ichigo and Ryo, but that kind of fizzled by the end of the series. The other Mews were pretty much ignored for the entire series. They were given no development, very-little-to-no background, and seemed pretty much useless without Ichigo during the fighting. It was ridiculous, and a bit annoying. The fight scenes were hard to follow, too.
Honestly, I’m disappointed. I was expecting it to be a little immature and exaggerated, but not this much. I was expecting more development. I’m glad that I picked it up, and that I finished the series so I could finally see how it ends. I might go finish the anime now, though, since I know it has more development than this did. I do still want to pick up the Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode omnibus, as well. I read the first volume way back when and really enjoyed it.
I would probably recommend this to a middle-school and elementary age girly person. I think I would have liked it more at that age, in particular.
The Mew Mews and the Blue Knight have defeated the giant cocoon at the top of Tokyo Tower, but there is nary a moment to celebrate since their victory only marks the beginning of the end of the world. Masaya reveals to Ichigo that he is the Blue Knight and that he had always knew that she was a Mew Mew. But he chose to keep it secret because he had noticed that she was trying hard to keep him from finding out her identity. Now we know that Tokyo Mew Mew got their powers from being infused with the DNA of Red Data animals, but what we don't know is how the Blue Knight came to be. Perhaps he is an alien sent from space just like Kish? Such seemingly trivial matters can't concern Ichigo just as long as she has the love of her life as an ally, but right under her nose Masaya is changing... and Kish and his group seem to have been anticipating it...
wow, Loved this volume and manga series! <3 love Ichigo and Aoyama together <3 and all of the mew mew girls too! : ) definitely recommend this series! : )
