This was my very first manga and very first anime ever. (granted, I did watch the English dub first, which I probably shouldn't have, but it's all good now) It gives me happy, nostalgic feelings every time I read it and I cannot wait to show it to my kids when I get married and have children. I read it when I was ten, so obviously, since I was ten, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever made. Five years later, I still love it.
The story is about a thirteen year old girl named Ichigo Momomiya (meaning Strawberry Peach Shrine) and her colleagues, who she will meet later in the story. There are Aliens trying to take back Earth from the humans who stole it from them so long ago. A boy named Ryou Shirogane and his guardian (since Ryou has no parents) Keiichiro Akasaka have created the Mews to defend the Earth from the monsters the Aliens create called Kimera Anima. There are five girls and each of them are injected with the DNA of an endangered animal. Together they battle three Aliens named Kisshu, Pai and Taruto.
Most of the characters in this manga are named after food and their outfits are the color of that food, most of the time. (the girls. Not the Aliens) It is a very, very cute manga. Those who like gory, horror manga like Higurashi or Elfen Lied should definitely not go near this manga unless you are in the mood for some KAWAII DESU NE shoujo. Those who like things like Sailor Moon, Mermaid Melody, Card Captor Sakura, Shugo Chara!, or other manga like that should definitely try this out. It's a great story for a little girl.
I must admit, sometimes it is a little frustrating. I want SO bad for Ichigo to NOT go for Masaya, but wishes rarely come true. Oh yeah, Masaya is a boy Ichigo likes. He's the super perfect, popular, impossible guy that everyone seems to hate as they read more about him.
Anyway, long review is long. I definitely recommend this manga. I ordered it in the mail last night and cannot wait for it to come in. The art is very unique and adorable.
