Mew Mew Power
Tokyo Mew Mew
東京ミュウミュウ
Synopsis
During Ichigo Momomiya's date with her crush, Masaya Aoyama, she suddenly collapses after seeing a vision of a cat merging into her body. The next day, Ichigo starts acting like a cat—craving fish and moving instinctively. When a monster attacks Masaya, she discovers she can transform into Mew Ichigo, a magical girl with cat ears. After saving him, scientists Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka explain that they injected Ichigo with Iriomote Cat DNA to turn her into a magical girl meant to protect Earth from alien invaders. Overwhelmed by the burden of fighting alone, she soon learns of four other girls with similar powers. Ichigo must find them quickly before the aliens succeed in taking over the planet.
