Tokyopop Invites you to Enjoy a Slice of Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode
TOKYOPOP INC. INVITES YOU TO ENJOY A SLICE OF TOKYO MEW MEW A LA MODE
Sequel to the Smash-Hit Manga in Stores Early June
Los Angeles, CA (April 26 2005) - TOKYOPOP Inc., the #1 publisher of
manga in the U.S., tempts fans of the mega delicious Tokyo Mew Mew with
the sinfully sweet sequel Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode. Offering a cool
confection just in time for summer, fan-favorite creator Mia Ikumi
returns for a second helping with the celebrated Mew Mew girls--now
stars of their own wildly popular 4 Kids TV show Mew Mew Power!
Tokyo Mew Mew tells the story of five girls whose DNA has merged with
animals, as part of a secret project called the "Mew Project." Their
mission: To protect the planet from aliens who are using animals to
attack humans. In Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode, a sixth Mew named Berry is
about to emerge--the first Mew Mew with two sets of animal genes
coursing through her veins. Half cat, half rabbit, she's joining the
Mew Mew team just in time: A new set of villains has appeared and its
leader just happens to love his wild game well done! New love interests merge
with the intoxicating action sequences that were the mainstay of the
original series.
"I'm thrilled to be working on the a la Mode series. With the TV show
on the air and these new books available soon, this is going to be the
year of the Mew!" says series editor Carol Fox. "I always see girls dressed
like the series' star Mew Ichigo at conventions--maybe soon we'll be
seeing some rabbit ears (a la new Mew Berry) among the cosplayers,
too!"
Mia Ikumi won the 24th Nakayoshi New Manga Artist contest for her
debut, "Usagi no Furasu Hoshi" ("Bunnies Scattering Stars"). Her other titles
include Superdoll Rika-chan and Ichigo no Mori no Nemurihime (Sleeping
Beauty of Strawberry Forest).
