Ichigo is dragooned into being a waitress at the museum cafe as a cover for her superhero activities, and also detailed with finding the other Mews. In the U.S., it was published by Tokyopop, and was re-released in 2011 by Kodansha in an omnibus edition. It spawned an animated adaptation, a couple of video games, and a much less well-received sequel.
This shoujo manga ran from 2000-2003 in Nakayoshi as a variant on the “magical girl” subgenre. Presumably, the other girls were also given superpowers. But during the earthquake the beam “accidentally” hit Ichigo and the other girls, giving her the powers of an Iriomote leopard cat. When a giant rat appears, Masaya is knocked out, and a rather rude (but handsome) fellow named Ryou Shirogane appears to inform Ichigo she’s now a superheroine named Mew Ichigo and pushes her into activating her powers to fight the monsters.Īfterward, Ryou explains that in order to fight aliens that are controlling Earth animals, he and his colleague Keiichiro Akasaka have developed a “gene ray” to use the fighting spirit of endangered animals to purify the controlled beasts. Soon after, Masaya asks her to come with him…to clean the riverbank. The next morning, Ichigo finds herself endowed with cat-like abilities, while also developing some feline mannerisms. Ichigo has a vision of an odd cat (there’s some Barbie-doll nudity here.) Separated from Masaya for a few minutes, Ichigo finds herself next to four other girls at the museum cafe when the earth quakes and a strange light shines. Thus it is that their first “date” is at an exhibit about endangered animals at the natural history museum.
He seems to be a bit oblivious to her feelings though, being consumed with a passion for environmentalism.
