Where To Start The Tokyo Mew Mew Manga After The Anime?
While once destined to be a beloved childhood classic for older fans, Tokyo Mew Mew is back in vogue again with its 2022 reboot. Both the original 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew and the 2022 Tokyo Mew Mew are full adaptations of the manga story, but not necessarily the same.
In the 2002 version of the Tokyo Mew Mew anime, the anime injected quite a fair bit of filler about the characters interacting with each other and further fleshing out their bonds. It’s why the 2002 anime took 52 episodes to adapt 32 chapters of manga. However, the 2002 anime does adapt the ending of the manga – it just doesn’t adapt every detail of it.
Alternatively, the 2022 reboot Tokyo Mew Mew New anime is adapting the manga without all of the extra filler. Unfortunately, while that would have actually been great, the 2022 series also changes some significant details which results in an ending that is very unlike the original anime and manga ending.
While after the 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew anime you can continue the story in the brief, discontinued sequel manga Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode, you can’t really do that as smoothly after the 2022 reboot.
Is The Tokyo Mew Mew Manga Over?
The Tokyo Mew Mew manga is complete. It ended in 2022 with Chapter 32.
The Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode sequel manga is also complete. It was canceled at Chapter 12 due to creative differences between the publisher and the author.
You can also enjoy Tokyo Mew Mew Ole, an also-complete spin-off about an all-male team of Mew Mews. Tokyo Mew Mew Ole ended in 2022 with Chapter 32.
