Tokyo Mew Mew New: You don't need to understand Japanese to appreciate the surreal origins story

I can’t claim I fully know what’s going on in the Tokyo Mew Mew New trailer.

But anyone watching will figure it out.

The original Tokyo Mew Mew (this is Tokyo Mew Mew New) dates back to 2000 and ran for three years, which is pretty impressive.

It’s based on Reiko Yoshida’s manga, which you can grab from Amazon.

The 2022 version isn’t a sequel, but a reboot, so we can see what Amazon and publisher Kodansha have said about the manga to give us an idea of what’s coming up.
